Donald Trump: It's 'Okay' To Call Undocumented Immigrants 'Rapists'

[Lakhota]

Donald Trump continues to defend his offensive comments about illegal immigration and border security, claiming in an interview published on Sunday that it was "okay" for him to have described undocumented immigrants as "rapists."

In an expletive-laden interview with The Washington Post's Robert Costa, conducted Saturday aboard Trump's private jet, the GOP presidential hopeful shrugged off the controversy caused by his remarks, which came during his campaign launch last month.

"It is a very rough word. It’s okay to use," Trump told Costa, referring specifically to the word "rapist."

Trump's rhetoric is not supported by the facts.

For more than a century, innumerable studies have confirmed two simple yet powerful truths about the relationship between immigration and crime: immigrants are less likely to commit serious crimes or be behind bars than the native-born, and high rates of immigration are associated with lower rates of violent crime and property crime. This holds true for both legal immigrants and the unauthorized, regardless of their country of origin or level of education. In other words, the overwhelming majority of immigrants are not “criminals” by any commonly accepted definition of the term. For this reason, harsh immigration policies are not effective in fighting crime. Read more...

But one must admit they have done a hell of a job with the population/territory we left them.

Actually, he did not limit his rapist statement to illegal immigrants. He used the "rapist' term in connection with Mexican immigrants, period.

Are you related to Trump basher Chuck 'Sleepy-Eyes' Todd?

That's pretty stupid even for you.

The problem with your outrage and your little study is this.

He isn't talking about immigrants...

He's talking about border jumpers.....Illegals....

They are not, by definition, immigrants.

But thanks for playing.

Well, Darkwind, it looks like you shit yourself again. Can't you read?

Soooooo, your argument is since Mexico has a valid historical claim to our territory, that we should encourage MExican settlement in the American Southwest?

Could you run that past me a little slower?

I'm missing the part where this is a good thing.

Far better than you can....Whats the matter? Can't comprehend that a border jumper is not an immigrant?

You people can make any brainiac argument you want to defend Trump,

but Trump has offended Hispanics, and the Hispanic vote will reflect that.

 

[USNavyVet]

Trump is correct and finally someone said it and brought to the spotlight. No other candidates will say it but it needed to be said.

And we didn't steal from Mexico. Learn some history.

IF the only way to get the Hispanic vote is to shit can the interests of the rest of the nation, then there is no hope anyways.

Horseshit. In the first place, any statistics about legal immigrants are irrelevant. We aren't talking about legal immigrants who have been screen for criminal records. Here are the facts:

Rape Deniers 9 Facts About Illegal Alien Crime The Media Covers Up - Breitbart

Of 78,022 primary offense cases in fiscal year 2013, 38.6 percent were illegal immigrant offenders. The majority of their cases (76 percent) were immigration related. Of total primary offenses, 17.6 percent of drug trafficking offenses and 3.8 percent of sex abuse were illegal immigrants. Of 22,878 drug crime cases, 17.2 percent were illegal immigrants.
​

The only reason anyone would support allowing more illegals into this country is because they are traitors.

You're overestimating the number of illegals who will vote in this election.
