When Trump visits a border town between the US and Mexico, he receives the endorsement of Texas Governor Greg Abbott.

During a visit to a community near the border between the United States and Mexico on Sunday, Donald Trump accepted the endorsement of the governor of Texas and declared that, should he win a second term, his strict immigration policies will make Greg Abbott’s “job much easier.”

As they each made an appearance in front of an audience of roughly 150 people at an airport hangar in Edinburg, Trump said to Abbott, “You’ll be able to focus on other things in Texas.”

Abbott, a close friend and fellow border hawk, expressed his pride in endorsing the former president, who is the front-runner for the Republican Party’s 2024 candidature.

Speaking at a community roughly thirty miles from the Hidalgo Port of Entry crossing with Mexico, Abbott declared, “We need a president who’s going to secure the border.” “We require the return of Donald J. Trump to the presidency of the United States of America.”

Trump had earlier fed troops, members of the Texas National Guard, and others who will be stationed at the border for Thanksgiving. Tacos were distributed by Trump and Abbott, and the former president shook hands and smiled for photos.

Trump told them, “You want it done right, and what you do is incredible.”

Regarding the Texas troopers and Guard troops stationed near the border, Abbott stated, “They shouldn’t be here at this time.” Where they belong is at home. “We have a president of the United States of America who is not securing our border,” he declared, explaining why they are here.

Trump has been outlining immigration plans that would represent a significant shift from his policies while in office, which has alarmed civil rights advocates and prompted many legal challenges. Despite frequently interjecting his immigration policies into his campaign speeches, Trump only made fleeting remarks in the border region on Sunday. In the background of armed patrol boats, planes, and state police choppers—all of which Texas uses at the border—he talked for just ten or so minutes.

Trump did not discuss the programs he intended to implement if elected. He did voice concerns about news media coverage, inflation, and the United States’ planned exit from Afghanistan in 2021. According to him, most technology that isn’t used for wheels and walls eventually becomes outdated.

All we need are the walls. It was successful,” Trump added.

According to his idea, further wall construction is needed along the border.

In addition, he wishes to: extend and revitalize his divisive travel ban, which was first imposed on seven nations with a majority of Muslims. The U.S. Supreme Court maintained Trump’s first executive order, which he said was a “watered down” version that excluded some Venezuelan officials and travelers from North Korea, after it was challenged all the way to the top.

— implement new “ideological screening” for all immigrants with the goal of preventing “dangerous lunatics, haters, bigots, and maniacs” as well as “Christian-hating communists and Marxists” from entering the country. He has declared, “Those who come to and join our country must love our country.”

except for those who back Hamas. Trump declares, “You’re disqualified if you sympathies with radical Islamic terrorists and extremists.” You are ineligible if your goal is to have the state of Israel abolished. You are automatically excluded if you endorse Hamas, any ideology related to it, or any of the other extremely dangerous and sick ideas that people harbor.

Deport foreign nationals who are found to have “jihadist sympathies” and dispatch immigration officers to “pro-jihadist demonstrations” in order to track out those who violate the law. His plans included targeting foreign nationals on college campuses, revoking the student visas of those who hold anti-American or antisemitic sentiments, and using the Alien Enemies Act to expel all known or suspected drug dealers and gang members from the country. During World War II, internment camps were justified by this law. It gives the president the authority to arbitrarily detain and deport non-citizens of the United States.

would terminate the birthright citizenship constitutional right by promulgating an executive order on his first day of office that would formalize an unproven legal interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment.
