NBC News reports:
Former President Donald Trump said Thursday the U.S. is “like a garbage can” for the rest of the world because of its border policies during an immigration-focused rally in Tempe, Arizona, less than two weeks out from Election Day.
“They unleashed an army of migrant gangs waging a campaign of violence,” said Trump, who regularly uses dehumanizing language when he talks about undocumented immigrants. “We’re a dumping ground. We’re like a garbage can for the world.”
Border crossings are at the lowest levels since President Joe Biden took office in 2021. In September, Border Patrol agents made fewer than 54,000 apprehensions of immigrants trying to cross the U.S., the fewest since August 2020, when Trump was still in the White House.
