What does “poisoning the blood” mean to you in reference to immmigration?

Trump said that undocumented immigrants were “poisoning the blood of our country,”

The Democrats have been saying that it was directly from Hitler. The Trump supporters are trying to twist the statement into drug abuse, addiction, and overdose.

I know very little about the words Hitler used, but I instantly, without hearing anyone else’s explanation, felt it was one of the most racist things I have ever heard.

People throw around the accusation of racism a lot, and I don’t always see racism when others do.

What I have always maintained as undeniably racist is to believe certain groups of people are born in some way inferior or bad. The sentence poison the blood to me goes to the very heart of this belief.

What did you think when you heard Trump say this or heard the quote? If you can, try to separate out how the media explains it and really focus on your personal reaction.
