President Donald Trump's recent appearance at the 80th United Nations General Assembly was in the news because he was temporarily stranded on a broken escalator, and a teleprompter gave out during his speech. Those momentary inconveniences distracted from the content of his speech, which revealed an important truth about immigration—through omission.
Trump criticized many countries for allowing immigration that was supposedly destroying their countries. "According to the Council of Europe, in 2024, almost 50 percent of inmates in German prisons were foreign nationals or migrants," he said. "In Austria, the number was 53 percent. In Greece, the number was 54 percent. In Switzerland, it's 72 percent."
