President Trump warned Monday that Republicans would never win elections again if they do not help remove illegal immigrants from U.S. municipalities.
Mr. Trump, who appeared on Dan Bongino’s debut podcast since leaving the FBI last month, said countries from all over the world sent their most troubled individuals to flood across the U.S. border when President Biden served in office.
“So they’ve sent all of their people, millions and millions of people. We have to get them out. And, by the way, if Republicans don’t get them out, you will never win another election as a Republican,” he said.
“These people are all pitted so they vote, and they make all this crap with the voting. ‘Oh, well, you can vote. You can do whatever you want.’ It’s crazy … How you can get these people to vote?” he asked.
Mr. Trump said he took over a border where “25 million people came into our country, many of them murderers, 11,888 murderers, drug dealers, drug addicts all over the place.”
“They took over the mental institutions of their countries, and they sent every single person in a mental institution over our border with Texas with their open border policies.”
Mr. Trump described most of the millions of people as “bad” because countries are not going to send their “good people” and “the best people of the millions sent to the U.S. do not work.”
Of the 500 or so criminal illegal immigrants arrested since Jan. 19, The Washington Times reviewed DHS press releases highlighting 110 of them and the crimes they committed.
They include nine people with murder or homicide convictions; four with rape convictions and another three with rape charges on their record; two with kidnapping convictions, one with a kidnapping charge; and 37 with DUI convictions or charges.
There are also sexual assaults, gun offenses, drug dealing, fraud, terrorist threats and domestic assault.
