Today, Team Trump set out on a border crisis tour, with Sen. JD Vance visiting a town outside of Laken Riley’s hometown and President Trump visiting the Southern Border in Arizona.
Here are highlights from future VP JD Vance’s visit to Georgia:
FUTURE VP JD VANCE:“We're here not far from where Laken Riley was born and raised. A beautiful, beautiful young girl, who would still be here today if Kamala Harris had done her job…”
FUTURE VP JD VANCE:“She [Kamala Harris] said, 'I want to suspend deportations' and she did. 'I want to stop Donald Trump’s remain in Mexico policy' and she did. The reason why we have an open border is because Kamala Harris undid the policies of Donald Trump.”
FUTURE VP JD VANCE:“As soon as Kamala Harris is booted out of office, we are not open for business for illegal aliens or to the Mexican drug cartels. That is our solemn promise to the American people.”
Here are highlights from President Trump’s visit to Arizona:
PRESIDENT TRUMP:“We have a Marxist running...She will never build the wall and doesn’t want to build the wall...If she changes her mind it's only because she wants to be elected, because you wouldn’t want to have a strong border?”
PRESIDENT TRUMP:“We are honored and moved to be joined by some of those grieving families... thousands of others are out there... We can't let what you're going through happen to other families. Nobody's ever seen anything like it — all for no reason whatsoever.”
PRESIDENT TRUMP:“ For nearly 4 years as Border Czar, Comrade Kamala has overseen a nation-wrecking border invasion. She has allowed at least 20 million illegal aliens into our country, including millions of unvetted fighting-age men from 158 countries. Just recently, Kamala let in the head of a Peruvian gang who was wanted for 23 murders. On her orders, Border Patrol is being forced to free tens of thousands of illegal aliens from custody week after week. Every day brings another story about innocent Americans being tortured, raped, murdered and massacred by illegal aliens Kamala Harris has set free.”
PRESIDENT TRUMP:“When Harris took over the border, there has been a 43% nationwide increase in violent crime and 60% increase in rape and the FBI should be ashamed of themselves.”
Moments
PRESIDENT TRUMP:“We will impose tough new sentences on illegal alien criminals. This includes a ten-year mandatory minimum sentence for anyone guilty of human smuggling, a guaranteed life sentence for anyone guilty of child trafficking, and a death penalty for anyone guilty of child or woman sex trafficking. We will also impose the death penalty on major drug dealers and traffickers.”
REMARKS FROM FAMILIES OF VICTIMS
MOTHER OF RACHEL MORIN:“The trail that Rachel ran daily was a trail that we would walk…very safe, very open… I was in Kentucky…when I got a phone call… “We found your daughter’s body…” Brutally beaten. Raped. Stuffed into a drain pipe. We are 18,000 miles from the border, and because of this open border, not just my daughter, but we’ve had two [victims] in the same county.”
MOTHER OF 12-YEAR-OLD JOCELYN NUNGARARY:“She was left with no clothing from the waist down, thrown in a bayou…was strangled to death…They had no reason to do anything they did to Jocelyn…they were detained and were released when they shouldn’t have been released. One had an ankle monitor, didn’t stop anything. Now I have to go through the rest of my life with my son always asking for his sister.”
AMANDA KIEFER, ASSAULTED IN BROAD DAYLIGHT:“I remember being on a gurney in the hospital as I had to ID them. They were laughing as they fractured my skull…what was really the worst part, though, is when I found out that taxpayer money was paying for job training for this guy who avoided going to prison for the first felony he committed…[training] for jobs he couldn’t legally hold.”
