The Republican National Committee (RNC) has approved three immigration axes from its congressmen and former President Donald Trump, which include mass deportations.
Republicans have approved the HR 2 bill on increased border security and deportations.
“Resolved, that the Republican National Committee supports the House Republican border bill,” the resolution reads. “Resolved, that the Republican National Committee supports the immediate deportation of illegal immigrant asylum seekers who were ordered removed for failure to appear at their court hearings,” the RNC states as part of its resolutions.
The RNC has endorsed a 20-point platform for a possible second term for former President Donald Trump (2017-2021), who will be formally nominated by the party during the convention to be held next week in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
The list, which adopts Trump’s anti-immigration rhetoric, proposes “stopping the migrant invasion” in the United States and “carrying out the largest deportation operation in the history” of the country.
The political programme also includes “ending inflation” and turning the United States into a world energy power.
On foreign policy, Trump’s plan if he returns to the White House is to “prevent World War III, restore peace in Europe and the Middle East.”
He also proposes building a “massive missile defense shield” in the United States along the lines of Israel’s Iron Dome and “deporting pro-Hamas radicals” who participate in university protests.
He also calls for “busting foreign drug cartels and crushing gang violence” and modernizing the U.S. military to make it “the strongest and most powerful in the world.”
His economic proposal is to maintain the US dollar as the world’s main currency and avoid cuts to the Medicare health care program.
The Republican platform threatens to cut federal funding to schools that discuss racism and gender identity because it believes the content is “inappropriate” for children.
She is also against trans women being able to participate in women’s sports competitions.
He also vows to protect the integrity of the election, once again raising the spectre of voter fraud, a theory Trump has insisted on without evidence since losing to Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
The New York tycoon swept the Republican Party primaries, although he will not be officially confirmed as a candidate until the Republican National Convention from July 15 to 18 in Milwaukee.
The unity within the party in favor of Trump contrasts with what is happening in the Democratic ranks, where Biden is increasingly under fire due to his poor performance in the first electoral debate on June 27.
