former President and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump held a rally in Allentown, Pennsylvania, where he delivered a powerful message to supporters: America’s border must be secured, and sanctuary cities must end. To his devoted audience, Trump underscored his commitment to American safety and sovereignty, declaring border security as the cornerstone of his 2024 campaign.
With over 8 million illegal immigrants entering the United States since 2021—a figure from U.S. Customs and Border Protection that has alarmed millions across the nation—Trump promised to enact immediate, sweeping changes should he win in November. The former president expressed outrage over the policies that he says have led to “an open border, crime, and endless taxpayer burden,” all of which have compounded the dangers facing American families.
Trump made it clear: the current administration’s “catch and release” policies would be abolished on his first day back in office, and he vowed to end sanctuary cities nationwide. He has painted these cities as places that have become havens for criminals who enter the country illegally, shielded by politicians who have disregarded the safety of the American people.
Trump’s fiery rhetoric was backed by a heartbreaking story. In a rally video, Alexis Nunguray, a mother from Houston, Texas, shared the tragedy of her 12-year-old daughter, Jocelyn, who was allegedly murdered by two illegal immigrants from Venezuela. The pain and loss of this family served as a sobering reminder of the human toll of an unsecured border.
Trump also spotlighted the violent wave sweeping across America due to criminal gangs from Latin America, specifically naming the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. He accused them of overtaking apartment complexes in Aurora, Colorado, and "unleashing a violent killing spree" across the nation. “Many young girls [and] many people are being killed by the people that come in, illegally, through an open border,” Trump stated. “The day I take the oath of office, the migration and this horrible migrant invasion ends, and the restoration of our country begins.”
It’s no secret that America First policies have always been at the core of Trump’s mission. His stance on the border crisis is a renewed commitment to protecting American families, resources, and the very integrity of the nation’s laws. Trump’s plan to remove illegal immigrants and enforce stronger immigration controls is a direct response to what he believes is a White House failing to protect its citizens.
Trump’s rally was more than just a campaign event; it was a clarion call to those who believe in his America First vision. He gave voice to millions who are tired of watching neighborhoods transformed, crime rates rise, and American culture compromised by unchecked illegal immigration.
