CORONADO NATIONAL MEMORIAL — In a Thursday visit to the border in Cochise County, flanked by local law enforcement, Border Patrol union leaders and families of violent-crime victims, Donald Trump mostly repeated numerous false claims on immigration and warned the country would “wither away and die” without border-security reforms.
"We will seal the border, stop the invasion and launch the largest deportation effort in American history," the Republican presidential nominee said as he stood beside the border wall, about 20 miles west of Naco — the same location where his running mate JD Vance made a campaign appearance three weeks ago.
In his hour-long talk Thursday, Trump shared the microphone with families of homicide victims, in cases where the suspects are immigrants in the country illegally. Three speakers shared emotional stories of loss and voiced support for Trump in the upcoming election.
“I just really, really, really want everybody to please take into consideration how important border control is because we’re losing very innocent people to heinous crimes,” said Alexis Nungaray, the mother of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, who was strangled to death in Houston in June.
