"Today, I will sign a series of historic presidential orders, and we will commence the restoration of America and a revolution of common sense. This is about common sense. First, I will declare a national emergency at our southern border [with Mexico]," said Trump.
After these words, the gathered audience erupted in applause, rising to their feet. The former President of the United States, Joe Biden, and the former Vice President, Kamala Harris, remained seated.
"All illegal crossings will be halted. We will initiate the process of returning millions and millions of criminals to the countries from which they came, and we will restore our 'Remain in Mexico' policy," Trump declared.
He promised to send military personnel to the southern border of the United States "to stop this invasion."
