Goya Foods CEO Robert Unanu accused the Harris-Biden administration of failing to control the southern border and being “complicit” in child and human trafficking.
Unanu repeated the claim after criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris for shifting focus to “price controls” on food and other goods.
“What about the United States? Instead of being an accomplice to child trafficking, human trafficking and drugs, why not contain it and control its borders?” Ounananou said Sunday. During the interview Appeared on WABC's “The Cats Roundtable.”
The business leader said he met with Salvadoran President Najib Bukele and praised the president's crackdown on gang members that has jailed thousands of thugs who have terrorized his country's people.
But he said many members of El Salvador's notorious MS-13 gang have crossed the border into the United States and are now terrorizing U.S. residents, including other Salvadoran immigrants.
“The horses are already on the run, and now we have gang members from Venezuela and other countries coming into our country, ravaging suburban neighborhoods and scaring people,” said Inanu, who has been CEO of Goya, a New Jersey-based Latino food giant since 2004.
He said some Salvadorans who fled to the United States want to return home because of safety concerns and harassment by MS-13 thugs.
“Of course, El Salvador is not an economic paradise,” the food tycoon said.
Unanu is an ardent supporter of Republican candidate and former President Trump, speaking at the Republican National Convention in July.
“We are all so fortunate to have a leader like President Trump” he said at the White House in 2020, sparking a boycott of Goya Foods.
Goya Foods' board of directors censured Unanue in 2021 after he questioned the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election and barred him from speaking publicly without the board's authorization.
However, Unanu has now published a book titled, “Blessed Donald J. Trump and the Spiritual War: How the Battle for the Soul of this Nation Began with One Word.”
To support his book's arguments, he points out that Trump survived an assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, but only because he “turned his head at the right time.”
“I think God has a hand on Donald Trump and this country,” he said. “This administration is [Harris-Trump] They destroyed it.”
He also slammed the Harris-Biden administration for blocking the Keystone Pipeline to expand oil shipments from Canada to the United States and called the Green New Deal “madness.”
The Harris campaign has not yet commented.
