Trump says immigrants are 'poisoning the blood of our country'

With a border deal hanging in the balance and the Iowa caucuses a month away, Donald Trump amplified his attack on immigrants at a rally in New Hampshire on Saturday.

“They’re poisoning the blood of our country,” the former president said. “They’ve poisoned mental institutions and prisons all over the world. Not just in South America, not just the three or four countries that we think about, but all over the world they’re coming into our country from Africa, from Asia.”

Tough words for a guy married to an immigrant

“Illegal immigrants” not just “immigrants”.

My great grandparents were immigrants. The government didn't help them survive. They did it on their own.

[michaelrotter]

For you watching, he was speaking about illegal immigrants, love how they cropped this to their own narrative.

[ghostfifth]

They're coming here illegally that's not immigration.

I am surprised Politico is promoting Trump in so many good ways, they must WANT him to win!

[svrgnknight]

You should hear the stuff that the mayors of the northern cities that they are being bussed to have to say about them.

[RoryMcIntosh-gvcb]

Homelessness is on the rise and still thousands coming by the day. Makes no sense

[elaknalon]

He didn’t say immigrants. He said illegals and he’s right. He wants a merit based system. We would be trying to get the best immigrants from all over the world!

Context is really important for understanding news. Politico -please report the full context for this because these are misleading headlines which compromise the integrity of quality journalism. He said that ppl who are entering without permission. That makes a huge difference in how the news is perceived.

He said “Illegal Immigration is poison.” We’re not stupid, Corporate Media.

[BigMitch]

Illegal immigrants is what he is speaking of. That’s against the law.

[brandondurbin]

Politico you forgot to add the word "illegal" in front of Immigrants.

[invisibleman]

He was talking about the politicians who are allowing illegal immigrants.

I am proudly native American Indian Mexican I’m not offended I want a safe country for my family and American citizens

[GoUSA]

"Immigration is a privilege not a rigth and the safety of our citizens must come first, no question." Donald Trump

[LfeWithEm]

And he is right! They are coming here ILLEGALLY.... no screening no appreciation for what it takes to be an American citizen. Stop focusing on certain words, and look at the big picture of what he is saying. He is spot on.

[br-djti]

It's so funny, what media does. They twist his words up so crazy.

[debbiehernandez]

illegal immigrants. He said they are coming in illegally. That is against the law. Stop acting like he says something he doesn't . You people always bend the truth.

[AZwhiteflower]

Illegal immigrants are.. not immigrants
