In a recent interview, former President Donald Trump expressed his concerns about the state of our country, stating, "We've got a lot of bad genes in our country right now." This comment came as part of his ongoing criticism of immigrants and their supposed propensity for criminal behavior.
Trump did not hold back in his criticism, especially with the upcoming presidential election just around the corner. He claimed that open borders allow murderers to enter the United States, and they are now "happily living" here. He went on to say, "I believe it's in their genes. And we've got a lot of bad genes in our country right now." This is not the first time Trump has spoken out against immigrants during his campaign.
During the interview, Trump also took aim at his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, accusing her of wanting to "feed people governmentally" and implement a "Communist Party-type system." He also accused President Joe Biden's administration of allowing 425,000 criminals to enter the country. These comments sparked controversy and backlash, with the White House calling them "grotesque rhetoric of fascists and violent white supremacists."
In an effort to clarify his statements, Trump's campaign spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, stated that he was specifically referring to murderers, not migrants. She also criticized the media for "always being so quick to defend murderers, rapists, and illegal criminals" at the expense of President Trump.
This is not the first time Trump has made controversial comments about immigrants. Last week, he vowed to deport Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, claiming they were eating residents' cats and dogs. He also accused migrants of "poisoning the blood of our country" in December, a statement that the Biden campaign compared to the words of Adolf Hitler.
Despite Trump's claims, US officials have reported a decrease in border crossings this year. In a New York Times/Siena poll conducted in September, Trump led Harris 53% to 42% on the issue of immigration. As the election approaches, it is clear that this topic will continue to be a point of contention and division in our country.
