Goya Foods CEO Robert Unanue accused the Harris-Biden administration of being “complicit” in child trafficking and human trafficking by failing to control the southern border.
Unanue leveled the claim after criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris’ pivot to focus on “price controls” for groceries and other goods.
“How about the United States — instead of being the complicit middlemen in child trafficking, human trafficking and drugs — why don’t they put a lid on that and control our borders,” Unananue said Sunday during an interview on WABC’s “The Cats Roundtable.”
The business leader said he met with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele and applauded his crackdown on gang members that locked up thousands of thugs who terrorized the country’s citizens.
But, he said, scores of El Salvador’s notorious MS-13 gang members crossed the border into the U.S. and are now terrorizing residents here, including other Salvadoran migrants.
“The horses are already out of the barn. And those gang members and those gang members from Venezuela and other countries are in our country ravaging suburban neighborhoods, scaring people,” Inanue, the CEO of the New Jersey-based Latino food giant Goya since 2004.
He said some Salvadorans who fled to the U.S. now want to move back “because of safety” concerns and being harassed by MS-13 thugs.
“Of course, El Salvador is not an economic paradise,” the food magnate said.
Unanue is a vocal backer of former President Trump, the Republican nominee, and spoke at the Republican National Convention in July.
He provoked a boycott of Goya Foods after he said, in remarks at the White House in 2020, “We’re all truly blessed to have a leader like President Trump.”
The board of Goya Foods censured Unanue in 2021 after he questioned the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election and barred him from making public statements without the board’s say so.
But Unanue is now releasing a book titled, “Blessed, Donald J. Trump and the Spiritual War: How the Battle for the Soul of this Country Began With One Word.”
To back up the argument in his book, he noted that Trump survived an assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally on July 13, how “he turned his head at the right moment.”
“I think God had his hand on Donald Trump and this nation,” he said, while “this administration [Harris-Trump] has destroyed it.”
He also ripped the Harris-Biden administration for stopping the Keystone pipeline to expand oil delivery from Canada to the U.S. and called the Green New Deal “crazy.”
The Harris campaign had no immediate comment.
