Trump Predicts Black Communities Will Turn ‘Majority Migrant’ Under Kamala Harris

Former President Donald Trump issued a stark warning on Wednesday, cautioning that black communities will lose their political influence if Vice President Kamala Harris wins the presidency. Trump claimed that under her leadership, black neighborhoods would be “overrun” by migrants, further eroding the political and economic power of black Americans.

Trump’s warning came via a post on Truth Social, where he celebrated Harris’ apparent decline in support from black voters. According to a recent New York Times/Siena poll, Harris is trailing President Joe Biden’s 2020 numbers among black voters by around 10 points. In contrast, 15% of black voters in the same poll expressed support for Trump, a notable improvement for the former president among this key voting bloc.

“Kamala’s support is collapsing with Black voters. Inflation is hell. Worse, their cities are being used as illegal alien dumping grounds. If Kamala gets 4 more years, the Black Community loses its political power forever because their neighborhoods will all be majority migrant,” Trump posted.

Illegal immigration and its impact on American communities have been a central theme in Trump’s campaign. He has repeatedly criticized the Biden-Harris administration’s border policies, arguing that they are devastating working-class Americans, particularly black and Hispanic communities.

Trump noted that under Biden and Harris, Customs and Border Protection has reported over 10 million illegal immigrant encounters, along with an estimated two million "gotaways."

Major cities with large black populations, such as New York and Chicago, have seen dramatic surges in migrant arrivals, fueling concerns over job loss and community stability.

During a rally in North Carolina last month, Trump told supporters that these migrants are “crushing the jobs and wages of African American workers and Hispanic American workers,” stating, “They’re taking your jobs. What we’re doing to this country is so sad.”

Trump’s economic message is also resonating with many black voters who are feeling the impact of high inflation. He has repeatedly pointed to Biden’s policies, especially on energy, as the root cause of skyrocketing costs. Speaking at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) Conference in July, Trump emphasized that inflation has destroyed the American Dream for many, saying, “Young black people, they don’t have the American Dream anymore.”

To combat inflation, Trump stressed the importance of lowering energy costs, calling Biden’s energy policies a disaster. “We have to bring down the cost of energy. This was all started by a bad energy policy by Joe Biden.”

Despite these challenges, Harris has dismissed the notion that her campaign is struggling with black voters. Earlier this week, she insisted, “One, that’s not my experience. Two, Election Day has not arrived yet,” asserting that she’s working to earn voter support.

Trump’s outreach to black voters highlights his campaign’s focus on contrasting his policies with those of Biden and Harris, framing the upcoming election as a chance to restore economic stability and protect the political power of black Americans from being diluted by unchecked immigration.
