Trump’s address in the congress has relaunched the false immigration allegations

Washington – During the Trump’s campaign for the president, he and his allies repeated deceptive allegations or false allegations on immigration, including that the president of the time, Biden had secretly advanced migrants in the United States, that FEMA used money in the event of a disaster for migrants, and that many immigrants are violent criminals.

Tuesday, Trump repeated or referred to these claims and more during an address of almost two hours at the Congress – his first as 47th president – who often returned to one of his favorite subjects.

“The media and our friends from the Democratic Party continued to say that we needed new legislation, we must have legislation to guarantee the border. But it turned out that everything we really needed was a new president, “Trump told the applause of the Republican legislators.

In the audience, there were familiar faces – the people that Trump has reflected in making points on immigration. Among them, the mother and sister of Laken Riley, a 22 -year -old nursing student who was killed last year in Athens, in Georgia, by a recently arrived Venezuelan immigrant.

Immigration officials said Jose Ibarra, the man found guilty of the murder of Riley, had illegally entered the United States and had been authorized to stay in the country while he was pursuing his immigration affair. Riley’s family joined Trump on the campaign track. A bill appointed according to her, which obliges federal detention for immigrants accused of crimes related to theft, became the first signed by Trump in his second term.

Alexis Nungaray, the mother of Jocelyn Nungaray, was also present, the mother of Jocelyn Nungaray, who was killed last year in Houston; Two other recently arrived immigrants from Venezuela were accused of murdering him. Alexis Nungaray joined Trump last year at a campaign event on the southern United States.

Some of Trump’s allegations on Tuesday on immigration have already been demystified.

Ploting what he considered to be unnecessary federal programs discovered by the Elon Musk government ministry, Trump has referred to “$ 59 million for illegal extraterrestrial hotel rooms in New York”.

Musk said that millions of dollars intended for help in the event of a disaster have been spent illegally by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to host migrants in “high -end” hotels. The complaint led to the dismissal of four federal employees and the suspension of payments in New York for migrant housing.

But it was not FEMA money – money is administered by FEMA in the name of customs and protection of American borders for its shelter and service program, which supports local governments and non -profit organizations that help migrants arriving. During the year 2024, the average daily rate of the rooms contracted by an agreement with the ASSN hotel. From New York was $ 156, according to a report by the City Controller’s office.

Likewise, Trump falsely accused Biden last year of lacking funding in the event of a disaster after spending everything on migrants.

Criticizing record arrivals on the southern border under Biden, Trump said that “many of them were murderers, traffickers of human beings, gang members and other criminals from the streets of dangerous cities around the world.”

Researchers discovered that undocumented immigrants commit crimes Considerably lower rate that citizens of indigenous origin.

“Joe Biden didn’t just open our borders,” Trump said on Tuesday. “He stole illegal extraterrestrials on them to overwhelm our schools, hospitals and communities across the country.”

The statement that Biden has secretly piloted hundreds of thousands of migrants in the United States, raised by a right-wing group called the Center for Immigration Studies, referred to verified and authorized persons to travel as part of a program authorized for people from certain countries who could finance their own plane tickets.

Even Springfield, Ohio, made a flying return to Trump’s speech on Tuesday.

During a debate last year with his democratic opponent, the president of the time, Kamala Harris, Trump repeated a false viral rumor that Haitian immigrants in Sprinfield “ate the pets of the people who live there”. Springfield was flooded with hoax bomb threats which forced locking, evacuations and closures in hospitals, schools and government buildings.

“Whole cities like Aurora, Colorado and Springfield, Ohio, completed under the weight of the occupation and the corruption of migrants as no one has ever been seen before,” Trump said on Tuesday. “Beautiful destroyed cities.”

Some misleading statements were new. For example, Trump said that February “by far the lowest ever recorded” an illegal number of border crossings. The media indicated that the border patrol had recorded approximately 8,300 arrests of migrants who tried to illegally cross the American-Mexican border between the entrance ports.

Border Patrol’s own data dating back to the 1925 exercise show several cases in which the average monthly arrests fell below 8,000 per month, more recently in 1967.

Angelica Salas, executive director of the coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles, said that Trump’s statements on immigration were not surprising.

“It is obsessed with 0.04% of the population (13 million undocumented people) and wants to place on their lap all the ailments of this nation,” said Salas in a statement after the speech.
