Goya Foods CEO Robert Unanu Accused the Harris-Biden administration of being “complicit” in child smuggling and human trafficking for failing to control the southern border.
Unanue made the claim after Vice President Kamala Harris criticized the focus on “price controls” for groceries and other items.
“What if the United States, instead of being an intermediary in child trafficking, human trafficking and drug smuggling, cracked down on it and controlled its borders,” Unanue said Sunday. During an Interview on WABC's “The Cats Roundtable.”
The business leader said he met with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele and praised his crackdown on gang members that jailed thousands of thugs who terrorized the country's citizens.
But, he said, many members of El Salvador's notorious MS-13 gang have crossed the border into the United States and are now terrorizing residents, including other Salvadoran immigrants.
“The horses are already out of the barn. And those gang members and gang members from Venezuela and other countries are rampaging in suburban neighborhoods across our country, scaring people,” said Inanu, who since 2004 has been CEO of New Jersey-based Latino food giant Goya.
He said some Salvadorans who fled to the U.S. now want to return because of “security” concerns and harassment by MS-13 goons.
“Of course, El Salvador is no economic paradise,” the food tycoon said.
Unanue is a vocal supporter of former President Trump, the Republican nominee, and spoke at the Republican National Convention in July.
He promoted a boycott of Goya Foods in a 2020 White House statement in which he said, “We are all truly blessed to have a leader like President Trump.”
Board of Goya Foods Condemned In 2021 he was barred from making public statements without the board's permission after he questioned the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election.
But now Unanue is releasing a book titled, “Blessed, Donald J. Trump and Spiritual Warfare: How the Battle for the Soul of This Nation Began with One Word.”
To buttress his argument, he wrote in his book that an assassination attempt was made on Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, but he survived because “he turned his head at the right time.”
He said, “I feel the hand of God is upon Donald Trump and upon this country”, while “this administration [Harris-Trump] It has been destroyed.”
He also criticized the Harris-Biden administration for stopping the Keystone pipeline to expand oil supplies from Canada to the US and called the Green New Deal “madness”.
There was no immediate comment from the Harris campaign.
