Donald Trump Calls for Death Penalty for Immigrants who Kill Americans
In a speech in Pennsylvania, the former president and Republican candidate promised tough measures against illegal immigration, including a historic deportation program and severe penalties for re-entry attempts. “We have to do it… I am calling for the death penalty for any migrant who kills a U.S. citizen or law enforcement officer… Congress is going to pass it,” he told a crowd.
Trump added that, if he wins, he will immediately initiate the largest deportation program in U.S. history, accelerate the deportation of dangerous gangs, and invoke the Alien Enemies Act to ensure that re-entering the U.S. after deportation leads to an automatic 10-year prison sentence without parole.
For Donald Trump, Immigration Tops Americans’ Concerns
Trump has repeatedly stated that immigration is the top concern for Americans, ahead of even the economy. However, recent polls indicate otherwise, with most voters citing the economy as the most critical issue affecting their vote. In a poll of 22 major issues, immigration ranked fifth, far behind the economy, which most voters view as “extremely important.”

“I think immigration is number one, it’s the first, and the second is the economy, and the third is inflation,” Trump said, referring to the poll results. “I think the border is the biggest threat to this country.”
Trump’s tough stance on immigration has gained significant support and applause during his campaign. He accuses Democratic candidate Kamala Harris of maintaining “open borders” that he argues contribute to rising crime rates across the country.
