US President Donald Trump publicly called for support for a
stance focused on protecting the country's citizens above any other immigration
considerations. During his State of the Union address, he invited those who
shared his position to stand as a visible show of support.
"If you agree with this statement, please stand and
show your support. The first duty of the American government is to protect
American citizens, not illegal immigrants," the president said, in a
message that generated immediate reactions among the attendees.
The comment also included a direct allusion to Democratic
lawmakers, whom he urged to remain in their seats if they disagreed with his
position. The scene highlighted the stark political divide surrounding
immigration policies, one of the most sensitive and polarizing issues on the
national agenda.
Trump's statements are part of his approach to hardening
immigration policies, which he has defended as a strategy to strengthen
internal security and prioritize the interests of citizens.
The Democrats revealed their TRUE identity to the American
people: illegal immigrants first!
