Speaking from the U.S.-Mexico border on Thursday, Donald Trump announced that he would introduce the death penalty for child and women sex traffickers if re-elected. The former president laid out a comprehensive plan to strengthen border security and crack down on crime. “We will impose a 10-year minimum sentence for anyone guilty of human smuggling, a guaranteed life sentence for anyone guilty of child trafficking, and a death penalty for anyone guilty of child or woman sex trafficking,” Trump told the crowd.
The event also spotlighted families who have been impacted by crimes committed by illegal immigrants. The mother of Rachel Morin, who was murdered by an illegal immigrant, recounted the moment she learned of her daughter’s death and urged voters to support Trump’s plan to secure the border.
In addition to targeting human traffickers, Trump promised to launch the largest deportation operation in American history, emphasizing his intention to stop the “invasion” of illegal immigrants. He sharply criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for her handling of the border crisis, accusing her of allowing dangerous criminals to enter the country unchecked.
Trump also proposed extending the death penalty to major drug dealers and marking immigration documents with clear warnings about the consequences. His tough stance on crime and border security resonated with his audience, as he vowed to restore law and order and protect American communities from the dangers posed by illegal immigration.
