Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has accused American tech giant IBM of laying off 500 workers in Minneapolis and shifting their jobs to India and other countries, saying he will levy a 35% tax on companies doing so.
"IBM laid off 500 workers in Minneapolis and moved their jobs to India and
other countries. A Trump Administration will stop the jobs from leaving
America, and we will stop the jobs from leaving Minnesota," Trump said
in his speech yesterday in Minneapolis, as part of efforts to woo voters
in Minnesota state which has been a Democrat stronghold.
"If a company wants to leave Minnesota, fire their workers and move to
another country and then ship their products back into the United
States, we will make them pay a 35% tax. We will also unleash American
energy including shale oil, natural gas and clean coal," he said.
Trump said he will cancel all harmful Obama regulations that hurt Minnesota farmers, workers and small businesses.
"We will become a rich nation once again. But to be a rich nation, we must also be a safe nation," he said.
He claimed that Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton wants a
550% increase in Syrian Refugees pouring into the US wants virtually
unlimited immigration and refugee admissions from the most dangerous
regions of the world.
"Her plan will import generations of terrorism, extremism and
radicalism into your schools and communities. When I'm elected
President, we will suspend the Syrian Refugee Program and we will keep
Radical Islamic Terrorists out of our country," he added.
"Here, in Minnesota, you've seen first-hand the problems caused with
faulty refugee vetting, with large numbers of Somali Refugees coming
into your state without your knowledge, support or approval and with
some then joining ISIS and spreading their extremist views," Trump said.
He asserted that a Trump administration will not admit any refugees
without the support of the local community where they are being placed.
"And we will pause admissions from terror-prone regions until a full
security assessment has been performed, and until proven vetting
mechanisms have been established," he said.
A Trump administration will also secure and defend the borders of the
United States, he said reiterating that he will build a wall along the
Mexico border.
"Hillary supports totally open borders, and strongly supports Sanctuary
Cities like San Francisco where Kate Steinle was murdered by an illegal
immigrant deported 5 times. Thousands of Americans would be alive today
if not for the open border policies of Obama-Clinton," Trump said.
