President Donald Trump said on the 23rd (local time), "If you illegally enter the United States, you will go to jail, you will go back to where you came from, or perhaps even further."

Speaking at the UN General Assembly held at the UN Headquarters in New York on the same day, President Trump stated, "Our message is very simple" regarding the Trump administration's immigration policy.

President Trump emphasized the achievements of the U.S.'s strong immigration policy and recommended that other countries also establish similar immigration policy principles.

President Trump said, "We have reiterated that America is for the American people. I recommend that all countries firmly assert their positions to protect their own citizens."

He then commented on some European countries experiencing deepening domestic conflicts over immigration issues, saying, "Europe is in serious trouble. They have been invaded by illegal immigrants on a scale that no one has ever seen before."

He added, "Illegal immigrants are flooding into Europe, but no one is taking action to change it. It is not sustainable, and they are doing nothing because they have chosen 'political correctness'."

President Trump emphasized to the leaders attending the UN General Assembly, "You have the right to control your borders, just as the United States is doing now."

He stated, "Proud nations must protect their communities and must not allow their societies to be overwhelmed by people with different customs and religions, unlike anything seen before."

He also said, "If immigrants violate the law, claim asylum falsely, or assert unjust refugee status, most should be sent back to their home countries immediately."

President Trump also continued to boast about the achievements since the launch of his second term, saying, "In just eight months since the administration took office, the United States has become the 'hottest' country in the world."

He said, "The United States has the strongest economy, the strongest borders, and the strongest military. This is truly America's golden age."
