Donald Trump fact-check: 2024 RNC speech in Milwaukee full of falsehoods about immigrants, economy

[C_Clayton_Jones]

‘Immigrants are "coming from prisons, they’re coming from jails, they're coming from mental institutions and insane asylums."

False.

When Trump said earlier this year that Biden is letting in "millions" of immigrants from jails and mental institutions we rated it Pants on Fire.’

No matter. Millions of unskilled illegals sucking the life out of the economy isn't a good thing. Just their remittances alone are an economic disaster for us.

Of course, it's part of the batshit crazy.

But America's politics can make all that true.

Immigrants are coming from jails and mental institutions....Castro did the same thing.

Except they aren't. They are working and filling the jobs wussy white people won't stoop to doing. And those fat cat corps that donate heavily to Republican causes?.....are doing most of that hiring..and they don't even get a slap on the wrist.

Opinions aren't facts.

Why don't you try using those instead?

.. and changing the American culture because illegals are required to assimilate into the United States culture -- the reason you have to push 2 to hear English on a phone call.

Congress Doesn't Do Shit except Blame the Other Side.
Fire ALL of them.

Even when a single party has held both houses of Congress and the presidency, they haven’t really changed much to address illegal immigration one way or another.
If politicians ever truly get serious about reforming our immigration system — whether it’s offering legal status to illegal immigrants and allowing more to come into the United States, or tightening the borders and enforcing existing laws to deport those who technically aren’t allowed — it would seem either process should start with an honest look at the stats.

Google it.

How's that?

Home grown Americans commit far more crimes. And even if we use the claim made by your link, 4 out of 5 people in prison are naturalized legal American citizens. So you can stop trying the small number argument to justify your racist beliefs.

Google it.

Not how it works, tRumpling. You take a position, you have to support it.

IOW: Not m'job.

Actually one side is the real problem. Perhaps we start voting for less of that side.
