Former President Donald Trump faced criticism once again for his inflammatory language relating to immigration, during a recent campaign event in New Hampshire. Speaking to a crowd in Durham, Trump double downed on his previous comments, claiming that immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country."

This is not the first time Trump has used divisive language during his campaign events. Just prior to his appearance in New Hampshire, he referred to his political rivals as "vermin," leading to widespread condemnation, including from President Joe Biden, who likened the comments to "language you heard in Nazi Germany."

Trump's remarks on immigrants echoed phrases he used previously, resulting in backlash from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). He reiterated that immigrants from various parts of the world were "pouring into the country" and accused them of poisoning mental institutions and prisons globally.

In October, Trump's use of similar language prompted ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt to link it to ethnically motivated massacres in Pittsburgh and El Paso. Greenblatt stressed that such rhetoric has the potential to incite danger and violence, and should not be tolerated in politics.

Despite the criticism, Trump has expressed plans to expand his hardline immigration policies if elected for a second term in 2024. According to a source familiar with the plans, these policies would include rounding up undocumented immigrants and placing them in detention camps for deportation.

During the campaign event, Trump also reiterated his proposal to strengthen travel bans, targeting certain countries. Critics argue that these bans were racially motivated, primarily affecting Muslim-majority countries and African nations.

The former president's visit to New Hampshire was part of his efforts to solidify his position as the 2024 Republican front-runner. Trump's team is actively campaigning and aiming to maintain his lead in the polls, encouraging his supporters to vote.

Trump's visit coincided with rival Ron DeSantis' own trip to New Hampshire and the growing momentum of another opponent, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley. Haley recently received an endorsement from the popular New Hampshire governor, Chris Sununu, who openly opposes Trump's candidacy.

DeSantis suggested that Trump may dispute the legitimacy of the New Hampshire primary results if he does not win. He also questioned Trump's engagement with voters, highlighting the lack of interactive sessions during the campaign.

A CNN/University of New Hampshire poll conducted last month indicated that Trump had significant support among likely voters in New Hampshire's Republican primary, with 42%. Haley trailed behind at 20%.

On a national level, Trump remains dominant in the polls, with a Pew Research Center survey showing that 52% of Republican and Republican-leaning registered voters view him as their top choice in the primary.

Trump dismissed claims of Haley's gaining momentum, stating that there was no surge for her or any other competitor. As the campaign intensifies, it remains unclear how influential endorsements, such as Sununu's, will impact the primary outcomes.
