Trump visits Mullett Arena; talks of immigration, crime, and early voting

TEMPE, Ariz. - Former President Donald Trump visited Mullett Arena in Tempe on Oct. 24, where he and other speakers talked about immigration, education and early voting.

Trump promised to end the “migrant invasion” and called the U.S. a “garbage can” for other countries regarding immigration. Other speakers also focused on immigration issues and crime.

“My message today is very simple,” said Trump. “Kamala’s migrant invasion… disqualifies her from even thinking about being president.”

Trump said he would allow the death penalty for immigrants that kill U.S. citizens or police, and invoke the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798 upon taking office that would expedite the deportation of immigrants. 

Trump, along with many other speakers at the rally, called Nov. 5 the “most important day in the history of our country.”

“We’ve got to make it too big to rig, right?” Trump said to a cheering crowd. 

Four years ago, Trump and other Republican lawmakers opposed mail-in voting, blaming it on President Joe Biden’s election win. Now it’s become key in the final stretch of the campaign.

Young voters have also been the focus of the Trump campaign as other speakers like Charlie Kirk visited ASU and other schools in Arizona.

“I love that this generation has come around,” said Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake, who also spoke at the event. “They’re realizing that their future is on the line and they’re voting for President Donald J. Trump.”

Trump also recognized Carson Carpenter, president of College Republicans at ASU who opened the rally with the Pledge, during his speech.

Seventeen-year-old Jesus Aispuro’s parents attended the rally. Although he can’t vote in this election, he said it’s important that politicians come to schools to encourage young voters to participate.

“If you get everyone to vote, there’s a better possibility of someone who is better for this country to win… instead of people not voting because they hate someone else or both people,” Aispuro said. 

Trump campaign adviser Stephen Miller stressed the importance of voting for a man who “fights for your children, your husbands, your wives” and America.

“Now it’s up to everyone in this room to deliver the tsunami of votes that we need to reclaim the United States of America,” Miller said. “Will Arizona send Donald J. Trump back to the White House?”

While Biden won the state in 2020 by 11,000 votes, recent polls show that Trump is expected to win in Arizona.

“Thank you, Gen Z!” Lake said. “Get out there and swamp the vote!”
