RACINE, WISCONSIN: Donald Trump has accused Joe Biden of providing legality to “sham marriages” while ignoring military veterans who are “dying on the street”.

On Tuesday, June 18, the Republican leader held a campaign rally in Racine, Wisconsin, where he slammed his opponent for his new executive order fast-tracking the process to give non-Americans who graduated from US colleges work permits, The New York Post reports.

The order will also reportedly give the right to undocumented immigrants to apply for lawful permanent residency if they are married to US citizens.

Donald Trump alleges Joe Biden is ‘supporting' people who come in illegally

Trump slammed the plan while calling it a “lawless executive action” that will grant “mass amnesty to millions of illegal aliens".

He continued, “All an illegal alien has to do is sign up for his new program – it’s a sham marriage or college degree – and they can expect amnesty and taxpayer support."

“We are supporting people that come in illegally, but our soldiers, our veterans, are dying on the streets of these horribly-run Democrat cities.”

“Our country is under invasion. We should not be talking about amnesty. We should be talking about stopping the invasion,” the presumptive Republican nominee for president asserted.

Trump claimed in Democrat-run cities migrants were “living in luxury hotels” while “literally wounded” veterans were left to fend for themselves on the streets. 

He said, “They’re wounded from what’s taken place, from the trauma, but they’re wounded and they’re laying in the streets of San Francisco and Los Angeles and New York and Chicago and Oakland and all over the place, and you have other people living in luxury hotels.”

Judge Juan Merchan scheduled Trump's criminal trial to begin on April 15, which would make it the first criminal prosecution of a former American president. Trump was charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records last year, which prosecutors say was an effort to hide a potential sex scandal, both before and after the 2016 election.

“You tell me, is this country screwed up, or what?” Trump remarked, before adding, “Under this program, a deluge of illegals will be given immediate green cards and put on the fast track to rapid citizenship so they can vote.”

Internet reacts as Donald Trump slams Joe Biden's executive order on immigrants

Instead of agreeing with Donald Trump, many people blasted him online for his remarks.

A reader below The Post article commented, “The amnesty has caveats so ‘sham marriages’ wouldn’t work,  but sure, believe the guy that called service members suckers and losers and the party actively working to undermine veteran health services.”

Another reader shared, “Like Trump cares about veterans. Remember Trump refused to visit the D-Day cemetery in France. And how he has come for John Mc Cain.”

“Ah, Don the Con. Acting like he and Republicans actually care about our Veterans. They fight/ cut any benefit increase that comes along. Not to mention what Trumpy thinks deceased veterans are suckers. Blaaaat,” the third one noted.

The fourth one remarked, “Sham marriages like his and Melania's?”

The fifth one said, “Don Trump has mocked and hated the U.S. Military his whole life. Egged on by his father, Donald began expressing contempt for Americans who fight in wars as far back as high school, #VeteransForBiden.”

A comment read, “Says the guy whose current wife had been working in the USA illegally & has hired hundreds of undocumented workers at his properties.....”

Another comment added, “Let's export Convicted Felons…”
