批评者对《华盛顿邮报》做出回应，指责这场运动加剧了种族敌意和反移民情绪。
“不要只相信我们的话。他们向我们展示了他们有多种族主义，”写道全美有色人种协进会的X账户。"这就是今年11月的投票结果。"

前总统巴拉克·奥巴马的前副新闻秘书比尔·伯顿说:“特朗普竞选团队没有花太多时间就开始了他们公开的种族主义努力。”在x上的一篇帖子中写道。
特朗普竞选团队对《邮报》加倍下注，称其“强调了特朗普总统和卡玛拉·哈里斯移民政策之间的对比。"
“特朗普总统把美国人放在第一位，保护了我们的边境。卡玛拉·哈里斯向来自世界各地的数百万非法移民开放了我们的边境，并迫使苦苦挣扎的纳税人为他们自由进入该国付费，”特朗普竞选团队的国家新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特在一份声明中告诉美国广播公司新闻。
特朗普前竞选顾问布莱恩·兰扎(Bryan Lanza)周二晚上也在美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)上为该职位辩护，称种族不是一个因素，并且“[他不']认为共和党人会看肤色。"
“我不认为这种形象是种族主义的，”共和党评论员特里西亚·麦克劳克林也在CNN上与兰扎一起说。“我认为他们在展示混乱。”
在竞选过程中，特朗普一再发表对无证移民的轻蔑言论，声称他们是罪犯和精神健康患者，并经常用带有种族色彩的语言描述他们，称他们为“动物”或说他们“在毒害我们国家的血液”。
特朗普竞选团队在他们的竞选广告中使用了类似的图像和措辞来展示移民营地其他的材料，声称副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯'议程包括把“非法移民放在第一位。”除了强调各种移民犯罪，特朗普竞选团队还宣扬其“美国第一议程”，以及如果他获胜，他们将在他当选总统的第一天大规模驱逐出境的承诺。
特朗普继续散布哈里斯被任命为“边境沙皇”的虚假说法，尽管哈里斯实际上从未承担过与边境有关的特殊责任。
相反，哈里斯的任务是领导外交努力，以“解决中美洲移民的根本原因”，主要集中在萨尔瓦多、危地马拉和洪都拉斯。事实上，拜登在担任副总统时也扮演过类似的角色。
“卡玛拉·哈里斯奉行的政策是允许大量没有身份证的移民进入我国。这导致了可以预见的极其悲惨的结果，”特朗普的竞选搭档、参议员万斯(JD Vance)说，书写x日星期三早上。
在周一晚上接受X采访时，特朗普告诉马斯克，移民危机已经“淹没”了纽约市。
特朗普还坚持重复声称无证移民是“非生产性”的人，即使在马斯克说无证移民“可能是善良、勤奋的人”之后。
在上个月的共和党全国代表大会上，特朗普强调了他在移民问题上的立场，与会者展示了呼吁“立即大规模驱逐出境”的标志。
Trump campaign faces backlash after posting 2 images side by side that disparage immigrants
Former President Donald Trump's campaign is facing backlash after a post on Tuesday that showed two side-by-side images that disparaged immigrants, writing "Import the third world. Become the third world."

Critics, responding to the post, are accusing the campaign of doubling down on racial hostility and an anti-immigrant sentiment.
"Don't just take our word for it. They are showing all of us just how racist they are," wroteNAACP's X account. "This is what's on the ballot this November."
"Well, didn't take too long for the Trump campaign to get to the openly racist part of their effort," Bill Burton, former deputy press secretary for former President Barack Obama,wrote in a post on X.
The Trump campaign doubled down on the post, saying it "emphasizes the contrast between President Trump and Kamala Harris' immigration policies."
"President Trump puts Americans first and secured our border. Kamala Harris has opened our border to millions of illegal immigrants from all over the world and has forced struggling taxpayers to pay for their free entry into the country," Trump campaign's national press secretary Karoline Leavitt told ABC News in a statement.
Former Trump campaign adviser Bryan Lanza also defended the post on CNN Tuesday night, saying race was not a factor and "[he doesn't'] think Republicans look at skin color."
"I don't think that that image is racist," Republican commentator Tricia McLaughlin also said on CNN with Lanza. "I think that they're showing chaos."
On the campaign trail, Trump has repeated disparaging rhetoric on undocumented immigrants, claiming they're criminals and mental health patients and often describing them with racially charged language, calling them "animals" or saying they're "poisoning the blood of our country."
The Trump campaign has used similar images and rhetoric showing migrant encampments in their campaign ads andothermaterials, claiming Vice President Kamala Harris'agendaincludes putting "illegals first." In addition to highlighting various migrant crimes, the Trump campaign touts its "America-first agenda" as well as their promise of mass deportation on Day 1 of his presidency should he win.
Trump continues to spread the false claim that Harris was appointed "border czar," despite Harris never actually having special responsibilities relating to the border.
Rather, Harris was tasked with leading diplomatic efforts to "address the root causes" of migration in Central America, primarily focusing on El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. In fact, Biden served a similar role when he was vice president.
"Kamala Harris has pursued a policy of allowing large numbers of unvetted migrants into our country. It has led to predictable and extremely tragic results," Sen. JD Vance, Trump's running mate,wroteWednesday morning on X.
During an interview on X Monday night, Trump told Musk that the migrant crisis has "overwhelmed" New York City.
Trump also insisted on repeating sweeping claims that undocumented immigrants are "non-productive" people even after Musk said undocumented immigrants are "probably good, hard-working people."
At the Republican National Convention last month, Trump emphasized his stance on immigration, and attendees displayed signs calling for "Mass Deportations Now."
