Trump claims ‘illegal migrants are building an army against America’ at Bronx rally

Donald Trump claimed illegal migrants are “building an army against America” as he addressed crowds at a rally in the South Bronx on Thursday (23 May).

The former US president claimed his predecessor Joe Biden is “not getting the job done for the Bronx” as he listed several problems he believes the city is facing.

Trump said: “You look at these people… they are physically fit, they’re 19 to 25, almost everyone is a male, and they look like fighting age.

“I think they’re building an army. I think they want to get us from within. I think they’re building an army… they have something in mind.”
