Former US President Donald Trump vowed on Monday to reinstate travel bans and implement “ideological vetting” of immigrants if he is re-elected to the White House in 2024.
“I will implement a strict ideological vetting of all immigrants,” Trump said at a campaign rally in Derry, New Hampshire.
“If you hate America, if you want to get rid of Israel, if you don’t like our religion – which many of them don’t – if you sympathise with jihadists, we don’t want you in our country, and you’re not coming in,” he said.
During his remarks, Trump continued his attacks on President Joe Biden for being “incompetent” and putting America last.
He claimed that millions of illegal immigrants had entered the US under the Biden administration and reiterated his plans to deport them.
“We’re like a dumping ground and nobody’s doing anything about it. And we’re going to be sorting for a long time, but we’re going to get them the hell out of here,” he added.
Regarding the conflict in Gaza, Trump claimed that the Biden administration was responsible for the current turmoil in the Middle East.
