ALBAWABA - In the event that he wins the presidential election in November, former US President Donald Trump has declared his intention to carry out the biggest deportation operation in American history.

Leading Republican nominee Donald Trump pledged to shut down borders on his first day in office and begin an unparalleled deportation operation on Thursday night at a rally in Phoenix, Arizona. He accused President Joe Biden of permitting an inflow of immigrants into the nation, drawing criticism from the public.

"We have no choice because President Biden has left us," Trump said. "Prisons, asylums, and mental health institutions from across the globe are being overflowed into our country. This invasion has to end."

Trump took particular aim at Biden's most recent executive order, which forbids undocumented immigrants from requesting asylum if the number of refugees per day above 2,500. He emphasized his commitment to tougher immigration laws by vowing to revoke this order.

When asked how he intended to handle the immigration problem, one of Trump's supporters recommended he put heavy penalties on nations like China that he felt were not helping.

Trump made his first public appearance after his conviction for financial records fraud at this rally in Arizona. Notably, in the last election, Trump lost Arizona by a mere 10,000 votes. On Sunday, he will hold another rally in Nevada as part of his campaign.

In an effort to gain support from those who are worried about border security and immigration control, Trump has continued to emphasize his tough stance on immigration.
