President Trump Vows to Protect ‘Every American Daughter’

Donald Trump announced new death penalty policies he would implement against illegal migrants during a campaign event along the U.S.-Mexico border Thursday.
The former president traveled to Cochise County, Arizona, to highlight the stark differences between his and Vice President Kamala Harris’s immigration agenda.
During the 70-minute address, Trump and the media stood cooking in the scorching southwest sun as the ex-president spoke and brought victims of migrant-related crimes to the podium to share their agonizing personal stories. After families from Texas and Maryland revealed the heart-wrenching details of their loved ones’ brutal deaths at the hands of illegal migrants, Trump announced policy priorities to prevent future tragedies.
‘We will seal the border, stop the invasion, and launch the largest deportation effort in American history,’ the former president said before adding he will also ‘impose tough new sentences on illegal alien criminals.’
‘These include a 10-year mandatory minimum sentence for anyone guilty of human smuggling, a guaranteed life sentence for anyone guilty of child trafficking and the death penalty for anyone guilty of child or woman sex trafficking.’
The new death penalty proposals are a noticeable escalation in his tough-on-immigration agenda.
But those were not the only new capital offenses he wants to see.
‘We’ll also impose the death penalty on major drug dealers and traffickers in other countries,’ he told the crowd.
He also mentioned how other countries – specific ones he did not name – have bold warnings on their immigration applications.
‘On their immigration papers, there is a statement that says ‘death for drug traffickers,’’ Trump said.
He continued on about the warning, recalling how it was written in ‘big letters, big bold letters, 10 times the size of everything else on the page,’ so that traffickers know the consequences of their crimes.
‘And those are the countries where they have no problem with drugs,’ he added.
