threw logic out the window on Tuesday. During an interview with Newsmax, the former president claimed that Haitian migrants in Springfield,— who haven been given Temporary Protected Status and are in the U.S. legally — are “illegal immigrants as far as I’m concerned.”
His remarks arrive amid a baseless and dangerous lie pushed by Trump and his running mate, Senator J.D. Vance , that the town’s growing Haitian immigrant community is stealing and eating pet dogs and cats. The duo have made the debunked claims the centerpiece of their campaign during the final weeks of the 2024 presidential election.
