Former President Trump suggests “migrant league of fighters” to UFC President
Former President Donald Trump recently shared his idea of creating a “migrant league of fighters” to UFC President Dana White, using dehumanizing language towards undocumented immigrants. Trump suggested pitting the champion of this league against regular fighters, claiming the migrant fighter might win due to their toughness.
Despite not receiving positive feedback from White, Trump defended his idea at a gathering of Christian conservatives in Washington and later at a campaign rally in Philadelphia. President Biden’s campaign promptly condemned Trump’s comments for spreading fear and misinformation.
Throughout his campaign, Trump has used inflammatory language towards immigrants, accusing them of being criminals and vowing to implement extreme deportation measures if re-elected. His rhetoric has drawn comparisons to white supremacists and nativists, prompting criticism from various quarters.
Despite facing backlash, Trump continues to push his anti-immigrant agenda, reflecting his previous actions as president to curb both illegal and legal immigration. His divisive stance on immigration remains a contentious issue in the political landscape.
