Trump evokes more Hitler talk when he says illegal immigration ‘poisoning the blood of our country’

Africans and Asians were included in former president Donald Trump’s concern over the border crisis as he estimated millions more than reported have poured in “poisoning the blood of our country.”

Speaking to supporters Saturday while in Durham, New Hampshire, former President Donald Trump soured the sensibilities of leftists everywhere when he maintained his concerns over the threat illegal aliens pose to America’s national sovereignty.

In particular, he estimated the number of illegal entries into the country during President Joe Biden’s administration was as much as double the 8 million being reported as he contended many of the aliens were coming from mental institutions and prisons abroad.

“We got a lot of work to do. You know when they let — I think the real number is 15-, 16 million people into our country — when they do that, we got a lot of work to do,” said Trump. “They’re poisoning the blood of our country, that’s what they’ve done, they poison. Mental institutions and prisons all over the world — not just in South America, not just the three or four countries that we think about, but all over the world — they’re coming into our country.

“From Africa, from Asia, all over the world, they’re pouring into our country,” the one-time commander-in-chief cautioned. “Nobody’s even looking at ’em. They just come in. The crime is gonna be tremendous. The terrorism is gonna be — terrorism is going to be — and we built a tremendous piece of the wall and then we’re gonna build more.”

The remarks on stage were not Trump’s first time using that particular language, nor were they the only time he would do so on Saturday as he took to Truth Social later to post similar comments.

“ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION IS POISONING THE BLOOD OF OUR NATION,” read the president’s account in all caps. “THEY’RE COMING FROM PRISONS, FROM MENTAL INSTITUTIONS — FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. WITHOUT BORDERS & FAIR ELECTIONS, YOU DON’T HAVE A COUNTRY. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Rather than address the concerns voiced by the president who, like the majority of Americans, wished to see the border secured, talking heads have routinely focused on the way Trump expresses the issues, continually earning himself comparisons to the likes of Adolf Hitler.

A recent op-ed in the Washington Post by Robert Kagan had done just that, along with invoking Roman Emperor Julius Caesar, as he bemoaned and demonized a potential second term for Trump “filled with people who will not need explicit instruction from Trump, any more than Hitler’s local gauleiters needed instruction. In such circumstances, people ‘work toward the Führer,’ which is to say, they anticipate his desires and seek favor through acts they think will make him happy, thereby enhancing their own influence and power in the process.”

Likewise, others took to social media to decry what they considered “Hitler euphemisms” without consideration for the broader context where legal immigration still existed.
