US presidential candidate Donald Trump has once again expanded his hostile rhetoric against migrants and made the racist accusation that they bring “bad genes” into the country. In a radio interview on Monday, the Republican presidential candidate said that his Democratic rival Kamala Harris, as vice president, had allowed thousands of “murderers” into the country through her immigration policies. Many of them now lived “in peace and quiet” in the USA.
“These murderers, you know, I think it’s in their genes,” the former president said. “And we have a lot of bad genes in our country right now.” The right-wing populist is relying on extremely anti-immigrant rhetoric during the election campaign, insulting undocumented immigrants at almost every one of his campaign appearances and declaring that he would order a mass deportation of migrants if re-elected.
Migration and the situation at the border with Mexico, through which many undocumented people come to the USA, is one of the important topics of the election campaign. Before his first term in office (2017-2021), Trump announced the construction of a wall on the 3,000 kilometer long border with Mexico, which he then never implemented.
Four weeks before the presidential election on November 5th, opponents Trump and Harris are neck and neck in the polls in many places. Due to the peculiarities of the US electoral system, the election is likely to be decided in only a few states where the outcome is particularly close.
