Throughout his 2024 presidential campaign, Trump has been known for making harsh comments regarding immigrants. As OK! previously reported, he was even likened to Hitler after claiming they were "poisoning the blood" of the country.

"They poison mental institutions and prisons all over the world, not just in South America, not just to three or four countries that we think about, but all over the world," he said at a December 2023 rally. "They’re coming into our country from Africa, from Asia, all over the world."
