Trump: France's Riots Reignite Focus on Securing America's Borders, 'No Entry for Those Who Hate Us' (Video)

In a passionate rally held in Iowa, former US President Donald Trump assured his supporters that if he reclaims the White House in 2024, he will strengthen the country’s immigration laws. Trump’s vow came in the wake of the migrant and left-wing riots that have recently engulfed France following the shooting of a 17-year-old Muslim named Naël by a decorated police officer in Nanterre on June 27. Naël, who had a notorious reputation with 15 mentions in the criminal history file and a record of five instances of refusal to comply since 2021, became a focal point of the discourse on immigration and public safety. The former president’s address, delivered in front of a spirited crowd of 1,000 Iowans and Nebraskans sheltered inside the Mid-America Center on a rainy Friday, resonated with his message of prioritizing national values and culture.

Highlighting the turmoil in France, Trump emphasized the need for efforts to ensure that anyone coming to America shares the nation’s values and assimilates into its culture. He expressed his reluctance to admit individuals who harbor animosity towards the country, stating, “We don’t want people coming into our country that hate us. We want people that love us.” Trump’s remarks drew attention to the ongoing riots in France, which he surprisingly claimed to have predicted accurately.

During his speech, President Trump underlined the importance of common sense and the negative consequences of an open border policy. He questioned the wisdom of welcoming individuals who pose a threat to national security or have a history of criminal offenses, asking, “Who the hell wants an open border for the world to spill in for them to dump every person who’s mentally ill? Or a convicted killer, a convict into our country?” Trump firmly asserted that such policies are detrimental to the nation, warning that their repercussions would be felt for years to come. He pledged to take action, declaring, “We’re gonna get them out.”

Recalling his administration’s achievements, Trump credited the implementation of extreme vetting and the powerful travel ban for keeping Islamic terrorists and jihadists out of the country. He confidently declared, “We had no problem, right? They knew they couldn’t come here.” Promising a return to these stringent measures, he vowed to reintroduce a travel ban that would be even more substantial and robust than before. Trump explained the need for these policies by emphasizing the imperative to safeguard American shopping centers, cities, and farms from destructive acts, asserting that the United States would not be condemned to the same fate as France.

Trump described his previous meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron, explaining that he had forewarned him about the impending unrest in France. Trump’s confident stance and his commitment to bolstering immigration laws struck a chord with his dedicated supporters present at the rally.

As the 2024 presidential race approaches, Trump’s unwavering position on immigration is expected to strike a chord with a substantial segment of the American electorate. Many individuals are concerned about avoiding the same fate that France has experienced due to open borders and a dangerous migrant population.
