Trump visits southern border in Arizona

Former President Trump will visit the southern border of the United States in Cochise County, Arizona, next Thursday, as the border is torn apart and hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants are pouring into the country, as well as a drug crisis fueled by fentanyl, which is being distributed by drug cartels.

Trump’s campaign announced his visit on Sunday, blaming Vice President Kamala Harris, who has been dubbed “border czar Kamala Harris,” for “the worst border crisis in the country.”

“Despite nearly 10 million immigrants crossing the border in the past three and a half years, at least 99 individuals on the terrorist watch list released into our country, deadly drugs like fentanyl sold by cartels poisoning American communities, and a massive increase in crime and chaos caused by illegal immigrants — there is no end in sight to Kamala Harris’s border crisis,” the announcement said. “Our country continues to witness increasing levels of violent and deadly crime committed by illegal immigrants.”

Trump’s campaign then pointed to Americans like Jocelyn Nungaray, Laken Riley and Rachel Morin, all of whom were reportedly murdered by illegal immigrants.

Two Venezuelan nationals – 21-year-old Johan Jose Martinez-Rangel and 26-year-old Franklin Jose Peña Ramos – have been charged with first-degree murder in connection with the death of 12-year-old Nungaray. The two men crossed into the U.S. illegally earlier this year and are accused of strangling the pre-teen to death in June.

Jose Ibarra, a 26-year-old Venezuelan illegal immigrant, was charged with the murder of 22-year-old Riley. Ibarra entered the U.S. in 2022 through El Paso, Texas, and was released on parole. He initially lived in New York City, where he was arrested for child endangerment before moving to Athens, Georgia.
