@LostInParadise so did you miss this piece out of the article you cited? ” And some, I assume, are good people.”
Let’s look at what your claims have been so far:
“Immigrants are not all murderers and rapists, as Trump has said.”
followed by: “I heard Trump refer to Mexican immigrants as murderers and rapists. He did say that he was not referring to all Mexicans, just the one who were illegal immigrants.”
So what we are seeing is that your statement itself is starting to change. It went from the uber-left talking point that Trump said all immigrants are murderers and rapists to Mexican immigrants are murderers and rapists, to not all Mexicans, just illegal immigrants. You then give me the citation that you didn’t even read yourself. Yes, @rebbel, it is an actual transcript of the speech. Please note a couple things in that speech. Not once did he use the word immigrant. Not once did he say illegal immigrant. Not once did he say murderer. He did not say all Mexicans. He did not say everyone that came across was bad…he actually acknowledged that some were presumably good people.
Yet in your rush to hate Trump, you have taken the lies that you have been fed by a liberal media and spewed them. You even had the facts in front of you and could not see them. It doesn’t help that there are other folks that have bought into the lies in their own efforts to hate Trump (as they have been told to do) that cheer you on and feed you praise for repeating the lies. What Trump said was mainly true. There are criminals coming across our borders. There are drugs coming with them. There are rapists along the way and crossing. And these aren’t even Trumps assumptions, he got the data from the Border Patrol agents. Can you really argue with these facts? Do you REALLY believe that 100% of the people coming across our borders illegally are really good people? Can you really say that drugs and human trafficking don’t come across with them? If you can deny all that, then you are entirely marinated in the liberal kool-aid. But if you can’t deny those facts, then you are left with having to see that the media has skewed what was said, repeated their lie over and over until many people such as yourself believed it.
