Former President Donald Trump said that if he wins the Nov. 5 presidential election, he will begin his much-discussed mass deportation operations in two U.S. cities where citizens have clashed with illegal immigrants.
“It’s like an invasion from within, and we’re going to have the largest deportation in the history of our country. And we’re going to start with Springfield and Aurora,” the Republican presidential nominee said in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif., on Sept. 13, referring to Springfield, Ohio, and Aurora, Colorado.
Springfield has struggled with a burgeoning population of immigrants from Haiti—some coming legally while others arrived illegally.
Aurora has been besieged by Venezuelan gang members overtaking apartment buildings, as reported by attorneys representing the building owners.
Trump talked about the Springfield and Aurora situations during a news conference at a golf course he owns, Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles, in Rancho Palos Verdes.
When a reporter asked whether Trump would consider holding an event in Springfield “to show the media what’s actually happening,“ Trump replied, ”Maybe Springfield. Maybe Aurora. Maybe both. We’ll go there.”
He did not indicate as to when any such visit might be scheduled.
While Aurora’s difficulties have been publicized for weeks, Springfield’s issues rose to national prominence largely within the past few days.
Controversy over Springfield’s immigration crisis sparked bomb threats, forcing evacuations of several locations, including the city hall, on Sept. 13, officials said.
The stir, which appears to have sprouted on social media, grew exponentially on Sept. 10, while 67 million TV viewers watched a live presidential debate.
As Trump faced off against the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, he alleged that illegal immigrants were attacking and devouring people’s housepets in Springfield.
One of the ABC News debate moderators said that a top Springfield official denied any credible evidence of immigrants eating people’s pets.
Trump replied that his assertion was based on cited accounts, including videotaped statements that had been circulating.
President Joe Biden, in a White House speech on Sept. 13, said there was “no place in America” for such “attacks” against Haitians.
“This has to stop, what he’s doing,” Biden said, referring to Trump’s recent statements. “It has to stop.”
Amid the brouhaha, Springfield officials have continued to deny having any proof that Haitians have eaten residents’ housepets.
However, Ohio Attorney General David Yost, in a Sept. 11 social media post, said there is “a recorded police call from a witness who saw immigrants capturing geese for food in Springfield.”
Earlier this week, Yost announced his office was researching “legal avenues to stop the federal government from sending an unlimited number of migrants to Ohio communities,” such as Springfield.
“The sudden and extreme population growth has strained the city’s economic, medical and educational systems,” Yost wrote in a Sept. 9 news release.
“The problem is not migrants,“ Yost wrote. ”It is way, way too many migrants in a short period of time … a massive increase in the population without any communication or assistance from the federal government.”
‘The Real Problems’
At Trump’s Sept. 13 news conference, a reporter who noted the bomb threats said Trump’s claims were “debunked” and then asked why he was still spreading inaccurate information about Springfield.
The former president replied that reporters were missing the main point.
“The real threat is what’s happening at our border,” Trump said.
Large groups of illegal immigrants are entering the United States, he said, and many women are being killed in migrant caravans or being subjected to sex trafficking.
“Those are your real problems, not the problem that you’re talking about,” Trump told the reporter.
He repeated his past promise to tighten the the country’s borders, adding, “I will be your border president, and I hope you call me a ‘border president,’” similar to the informal title of “border czar,” used by some media and politicians to refer to Harris and her role in the Biden administration.

The operable question is, how many cruise ships does it take to send 25,000 illegal Haitians back to Haiti? The average cruise ship holds about 3000. That’s about 8 needed to clean out Springfield. Hold their personal belongings as collateral if they cannot pay the fare. and let them walk the plank back to shore naked, or just make them walk the plank. Send the bill to the Democrat Party of Delaware, as reparations for foisting an empty head of a President upon WE THE PEOPLE.
“One of the ABC News debate moderators said that a top Springfield official denied any credible evidence of immigrants eating people’s pets.”,,,,while former Kamala loveboat assignation Willie Brown, confirmed that Jamaican ancestor’d Kamala via her Voo doo economics has been known to bite the heads off of cocks and roosters as a way to get a clear economic prediction of a career enhancement.
I just saw a clip of Harris bragging about 50,000, then another 100,000 Haitians they let in.
The avoidable tragedy in Springfield was reported as false. So, why is the governor sending in troops and million$ in “resources”?
How’s about just stick them all in herculeses and fly over haiti, and kick them out!
And have them pack their own parachutes,,,no training required.
Why waste money on giving them parachutes.
Insanity:
Voting for Kamala Harris and expecting different policies, agendas and economics.
Nobody ever accused Democrats of being very bright.
I would seriously be very interested in knowing how the Radical Left are able to move tens of thousands of Illegals into the country. It might come in handy when we start moving them out.
Am I to understand Brandon couldn’t safely remove troops from Afghanistan, BUT can move tens of thousands of Illegals into this country ?? Please explain this phenomena to me.
ITS easier to fly 10000s of folks AROUND OUR NATION, where the GOVT protects them, than it is to REMOVE TROOPS from overseas under fire.
“President Joe Biden, in a White House speech on Sept. 13, said there was “no place in America” for such “attacks” against Haitians.”
It’s not like they’re attacking ice cream shops.
“One of the ABC News debate moderators said that a top Springfield official denied any credible evidence of immigrants eating people’s pets.”
Hearsay of a politicians useless anecdote should not be used as evidence of anything.
But, if it were not for the internet we would know nothing about the existence of the facts.
HOWS about no place in america for attacks BY THESE HATIANS ON AMERICAN citizens!
Talking about the violence, to a Communist, is worse than the violent “actions of the oppressed”. That goes in spades when it involves new arrivals funneled in by the Commucrat “candidate” for presidency.
Should be a mass deportation of all illegals. If republicans can retake both houses of Congress, then they can forced states like California to obey deportation laws
EVEN if they some how get control over both the house/senate, AND Don back in office ,i STILL DON’T see them having the balls to try to FORCE CA and other states to finally comply with immigration laws, THAT THEY HAVE BEEN willfully sticking a middle finger up at for decades in some cases, WITH NO REPERCUSSIONS.
