Former President Donald Trump has found a new reason to criticize migrants arriving in the United States: their languages. In recent weeks, the Republican presidential candidate has criticized languages that, according to him, are “horrible” and that “no one” has heard of.
On Saturday night, during a rally in Virginia, Trump described New York classrooms as overwhelmed with “students from foreign countries, from countries where they don’t even know what the language is”according to NBC News.
“We don’t have anyone to even teach it. “They are languages that no one has ever heard of.”added the former president.
Long history
This is not the first time Trump has made these types of comments. In fact, it seems to be the new focus of his criticism of migrants.
On Thursday, during his visit to the border with Mexico, Trump said immigrants are entering the country speaking “truly foreign languages”. “No one talks to them,” he said after a tour of the border in Eagle Pass, in which he gave a tough speech against migrants and against the Biden administration’s immigration policy.
“He is a terrible president. He’s probably the most incompetent we’ve ever had. He is allowing thousands of people to enter from China, Iran, Yemen, Congo, Syria and many other nations. “The United States is being invaded by Biden’s migrant crime,” Trump said.
And he added that migrants “They come from prisons, from mental institutions (…) and they are terrorists. They are being allowed to enter our country. And that’s horrible.”
Immigrants who “invade” the country
But those have not been the only references. A few weeks ago, during the Conservative Political Action Conference, the former president said:
“We have languages that come to our country. “We don’t have an instructor in our entire nation who can speak that language.” And he added: “These are languages, it’s the craziest thing, they have languages that no one in this country has ever heard of. It is something very horrible.”
Former President Trump’s campaign, however, has not specifically clarified which languages or nationalities it refers to. His campaign spokesman, Steven Cheung, told NBC News of the comments: “There are immigrants invading from countries we know nothing about, and that’s the point.”
