At the South Dakota Republican Party rally, former President Donald Trump spoke to a crowd of about 7,000 people. He called for immediate action to solve America's illegal immigrant problem. As usual for Trump, he didn't hide his views or sense of humor. Trump said in a bold way that Joe Biden shouldn't be able to use public money to release or resettle illegal immigrants in the U.S.
"The time for talk is over—now is the time for action."

Trump told congressional Republicans that "the time for talking is over; now is the time to act" when it comes to the next date for funding the government. The crowd cheered loudly, showing that they were ready to take action to solve the ongoing problem. Trump also asked Republican members to hold President Biden responsible for the millions of dollars his family got from foreign sources while he was vice president. Also, he asked GOP members of Congress to stop any attempts by the Biden administration to bring back COVID mandates, lockdowns, or other restrictions.
In his speech, the former president talked about people's worries about the effects of Biden's immigration policies, which have been called "lax." Trump said that illegal aliens are taking over even the parts of New York City where he used to live. He also talked about how horrible the conditions were at O'Hare International Airport, where hundreds of illegal immigrants were being held. Trump emphasized how urgent the situation was by saying that if he was reelected in 2024, he would start "the largest deportation operation in American history." But he stressed that something needs to be done right now, not in 2025.
In addition to Trump's speech, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem showed her support for the former president and his tough attitude on immigration. When Noem went to the southern border recently, he called it a "war zone" and said that Biden's policies were cruel and bad for national security. She said that Trump is the only candidate who can fix the problem with immigrants.
Noem says that one thing that sets Trump apart is that he is real and honest. Even though he is a billionaire, Trump is still approachable and down-to-earth, which has helped him become so famous. Noem also said that Trump will always fight for regular Americans and will never forget about the people who hold the country together.
As Trump finished his message, people started to get emotional. He talked about how different American workers' hard work and efforts have made the country great. Some people in the crowd stood up and said they loved the former president. Trump himself was clearly moved and had a hard time staying calm. In a moving moment, he ended by saying that America is a country on the way down, but he promised that they would not let the horror go on. Trump said that the country, which used to be strong and great, would get stronger and become great again.
