During a town hall event Wednesday, Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump said that humanity could be headed for another world war under the policies of the Biden-Harris administration and reiterated his vow to undertake the "largest deportation" in the history of the United States if reelected.
The pre-recorded town hall event with Fox News' Sean Hannity was held at the New Holland Arena in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and was first broadcast on Wednesday evening.
During his remarks, Trump claimed that, under the Biden administration, the U.S. southern border was the "worst border in the history of the world" and lamented that "we're letting everybody in."
"We have to stop it," the former president said, stating that "we have to do the largest deportation" of undocumented immigrants in U.S. history once he is in office. Throughout his 2024 campaign, Trump has spoken of doing deportations on an unprecedented scale, including during his speech during the Republican National Convention in July.
Trump also repeated the claim that Venezuelan gangs were "taking over" Aurora, Colorado, and "occupying apartments." Local authorities have stated that media outlets have "exaggerated incidents that are isolated to a handful of problem properties alone" and don't impact most Aurora residents. Mayor Mike Coffman has criticized the Biden-Harris administration's policies that enabled a large number of Venezuelan migrants to be housed in low-income apartments in Aurora.
Trump said, "It's a sick and angry world," claiming that events like Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, attack on civilian communities in southern Israel and the Russian invasion of Ukraine beginning in 2022 "would have never happened" if he had been reelected in 2020.
"We're heading into World War III territory," he claimed. "You need a president that's not going to be taking you into war. We won't have World War III when I'm elected, but with these clowns that you have in there now, you're going to end up having World War III."
In kicking off the show after Hannity mentioned the deadly school shooting in Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, Trump vowed: "We are going to heal our world."
"We are going to get rid of all these wars that are starting all over the place because of incompetent American leadership," he said. "We are going to make it better."
Last month, Fox News announced that "Hannity" would feature a pre-taped town hall event with Trump, which would be centered on various issues facing the country in advance of the November election. Hannity said that Fox News originally offered a debate between Trump and Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris in place of the town hall that would have featured other Fox News anchors as moderators.
Trump and Harris are scheduled to debate each other next Tuesday in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with the ABC network serving as the host.
As part of the rules for the debate, the microphones of Trump and Harris will be live only for the presidential candidate who is speaking during their turn, according to NBC News.
In a statement, the Harris campaign claimed that the vice president "will be fundamentally disadvantaged by this format, which will serve to shield Donald Trump from direct exchanges with the Vice President."
"Notwithstanding our concerns, we understand that Donald Trump is a risk to skip the debate altogether, as he has threatened to do previously, if we do not accede to his preferred format," stated the Harris campaign.
"We do not want to jeopardize the debate. For this reason, we accepted the full set of rules proposed by ABC, including muted microphones."
Done correctly - a “Self-Deportation” strategy will yield the largest results.

Please give us the main idea behind this.... Thanks.
Yes. Give them every reason to go BWTCF and let them have no reason to stay, except in The Hamptons and Martha’s Vineyard.
I think he means enforcing employment laws (not allowing illegal workers) and getting rid of the government free handouts that incentivize the illegals staying, they will go home on their own for lack of money and the ability to provide for themselves.
Oy Vey. Readers’ comments at the original article running around 75-25 anti-Trump. The Christian Post. Who are its readers?
I went to a State Fair in Connecticut last week, and met an elderly dairy farmer at one of the exhibits.
He made the comment that “some people are against immigration” and I quickly corrected him by saying “some people are against illegal immigration, not immigration”. He then said “I don’t want to talk politics, but if all these people were deported today, there would be no food tomorrow.”
It was clear he didn’t want to go into it further and he excused himself to talk to others.. But it was clear to me that he did not mind illegal immigrants because it provided cheap labor to him, and thus supported open borders. Normally, I might have let political things pass, but his comment was clearly a Leftist dig at Conservatives when he baldly stated “some oppose immigration”, which is a standard Leftist lie.
Many of us are not against immigration, we are against ILLEGAL immigration and open borders.
If it had been a different forum, I would have said “I understand your need as a dairy farmer, but open borders, just leaving them wide open as they are now is not the solution, and is destructive, because open borders and a welfare state cannot coexist. If you wish to address that issue there are other less dangerous and counterproductive ways to do it, such as work visas.”
But the Left wants the voters, and the Deep-staters of both parties want cheap labor, so that is their pact.
And our country will be destroyed because of it.
Enforceable State laws against businesses that employ illegals.
Just for starters.
Agree 100%
That’s the only way. Realistically and practically.
Please give us the main idea behind this.... Thanks.
Simple... "No more free stuff"
AZ did this years ago, sheriff Joe enforced laws on the books and I don’t recall all involved but many illegals fled the state for a while til Fed or someone thwarted the efforts. Was a great thing while it lasted. Noticeable reduction of day labor guys hanging around, stores less crowded less traffic it seemed. I am sure residents missed their illegal land scrapers and house cleaners but you can’t have it both ways.
Remove the incentives, and they go home.
I confused things in my comment.
I think it was E verify and maybe combination of sheriff Joe
And a 75% tax on ALL Western Union remittances going out of the country.
Tax overseas remittances to China, the ME, South and Central America, Africa @100%. These scumbags send our tax dollars back home.
Many are stating on YouTube videos they wish they hadn’t come and want to go home.
Legal or illegal, immigration is destroying us, it is time to end immigration and try to salvage something still resembling America.
GREAT idea!
Well, I agree that legal immigration as currently constituted is destructive. We can agree on that.
