Less than a week after his running mate JD Vance was greeted with "build the wall" chants in North Carolina, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump saw a revival of another one of his popular slogans, as the crowd at an Indiana rally spontaneously belted out "send them back" in response to some of his of claims on immigration, a topic that has become the backbone of his campaign strategy.
Trump got into the topic when discussing the issue in Europe, claiming "reckless migration policy" has "destroyed" Paris and London:
"It takes centuries to build the unique character of each state. But reckless migration policy can change it quickly and permanently. Just like we've seen in London, and Paris"
It's not the first time that Trump has made these claims about immigration in both European cities. :
"going to get myself into a lot of trouble with the folks in Paris and the folks in London, but you know what, that's the fact. They are no longer recognizable and we can't let that happen to our country."
Anti-immigrant rhetoric has been gaining steam in Europe as of late. During August, the UK experienced riots fueled by far-right misinformation. In France, new Prime Minister Michel Barnier has mentioned "immigration control" as one of his top priorities and will seek for support for his policies through the far-right National Rally party.
Elsewhere at the Trump rally, the president alleged that Kamala Harris had "illegally flown in more than half a million migrants", suggesting that these actions were changing the character of small towns across the United States.
At one point he doubled down, once again, on his debunked conspiracy theory about Haitians eating pets in Springfield Ohio, giving way to the following comment which was received with applauses and "send them back" chants:
"Do you think Springfield will ever be the same? I don't think so. The fact is, and I'll say it now, you have to get them the hell out. You have to get them out, I'm sorry."
