Both cities are currently in the media spotlight for the Biden-Harris administration's ongoing fight against the illegal immigration crisis.
“This is literally an invasion and we're not going to tolerate it. We're going to take these violent people and we're going to send them back to their countries and if they come back, they're going to pay a terrible price,” Trump said at a packed rally at Nassau Coliseum on Wednesday.
“This is not sustainable for any country,” Trump continued, adding that tens of thousands of immigrants have moved to Springfield.
“This is a beautiful little town. No crime, no problems. Then 32,000 illegal immigrants came to this town and in a matter of weeks the population almost doubled,” he said.
Trump Declared“I'm going to be there in the next two weeks. I'm going to Springfield and Aurora.”
He vowed to solve the country's immigration crisis.
Trump then criticized Springfield Mayor Rob Lue (Republican), saying, “I think he's a very good man, but instead of saying, 'We're going to kick them all out,' he very simply says, 'We're going to hire teachers to teach them English.' Can you believe that?”
In response to the announcement of President Trump's plans to visit the city, Lu said he hoped the former president would not stop by.
“That would put an extreme strain on our resources, so I'm OK with them deciding not to make that visit,” Lu said. NBC News.
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine (R) said Trump's visit was “generally very welcome.”
“But the reality is that resources are really, really scarce here,” DeWine added.
Trump's running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), said: He told reporters He said Tuesday he hasn't yet decided whether he'll go to Springfield.
“I expect the president and his team will, of course, be speaking with local officials in Springfield to ensure that the visit does not strain already valuable law enforcement resources,” Vance explained.
“I don't think anything's been decided yet,” he continued. “I haven't made any plans to go in the last few days. I know the president wants to go, but he hasn't made any definite plans.”
According to WABC TelevisionMore than 60,000 tickets were required for Trump's 2017 rally on Long Island, which has a capacity of 16,000. Many of his supporters who were unable to get in gathered outside the building and watched Trump's speech live on screens.
