MAGA Crowd Chants ‘Send Them Back!’ When Trump Says Some LEGAL Immigrants Should Be Deported: ‘Get ’em the Hell Out’
Former President Donald Trump riled up rally-goers on Monday night by saying that some immigrants who are in the U.S. legally should be deported.
Speaking in Indiana, Pennsylvania, Trump once again invoked Springfield, Ohio, which became the subject of a far-right conspiracy theory that claimed Haitian migrants in the city are stealing and eating people’s pets. During his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris earlier this month, Trump repeated the rumor on national television in front of 67 million people.
The Haitian migrants are there legally under Temporary Protected Status and have helped the city plug a severe labor shortage. Despite knowing this, Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, has said he will keep calling them “illegal.”
On Monday, Trump said states are being “inundated” with migrants and said the cities they have settled in “will never be the same.”
“Do you think Springfield will ever be the same?” he asked the crowd. “The fact is – and I’ll say it now – you have to get ’em the hell out. You have to get ’em out. I’m sorry. But get ’em out. Can’t have it.”
The crowd responded by erupting in applause.
“They’ve destroyed it,” he said.
The crowd broke into a chant demanding deportations.
“Send them back! Send them back! Send them back!”
“It’s terrible to say and it’s a tough thing to do,” Trump continued. “You know, you’re gonna take in some murderers and things, and you’ll put them on the planes and the buses, and you’re going to start doing it.”
The ex-president went on to commend Dwight Eisenhower for his deportation program in the 1950s that was dubbed “Operation Wetback,” though Trump did not refer to it by name.
“He couldn’t stand people pouring into our country, and he took a lot, took them out,” Trump said. “He’s very strong on that. And we have to be strong. We have no choice because this is not sustainable by any country. There’s no country that can do this.”
