Trump: 'Infectious disease is pouring across the border

Donald Trump doubled down on his controversial comments about illegal immigration from Mexico on Monday, saying that "infectious disease is pouring across the border."

Trump issued a lengthy — nearly 900 word — statement invoking the death of a San Francisco woman shot and killed last week by a suspect who had previously been deported to Mexico five times.

"This is merely one of thousands of similar incidents throughout the United States," Trump said Monday. "In other words, the worst elements in Mexico are being pushed into the United States by the Mexican government."

The 2016 Republican presidential candidate said that Mexican drug cartels are using immigrants to smuggle heroin, cocaine and other illicit drugs into the United States.

"The Border Patrol knows this. Likewise, tremendous infectious disease is pouring across the border," Trump continued.

"In other words, the worst elements in Mexico are being pushed into the United States by the Mexican government."

Yeah, just like Castro did.

I've often accused Donald Trump of being a blowhard, and he is. This being said, it's refreshing to have a guy in the race who is financially beholden to no one, giving him the ability to speak his mind on issues that a whole bunch of Americans on both sides of the political divide agree with.

Trump may be a blowhard with bad hair but his rising poll numbers, and the speed at which other so-called "conservative" candidates are trying to distance themselves from him, is putting a smile on my face.

Trump as the GOP contender is the way to do the third party thing with only two parties this time around. Win or be another Goldwater, the GOPee will be sent a message.

[RC one]

he has laid his fortune and his sacred honor on the line. I have to respect that.

[DoughtyOne]

Someone to come by and tell us Trump is a Liberal in 5, 4, 3, 2,...

[Mmogamer]

Oops double post sorry.

[RKBA Democrat]

Anyone who does this good of a job pissing off libs can’t be all bad.

[hoosiermama]

Said it earlier. Trump is the only candidate we’ve had in some time who is willing to place his fortune and sacred honor on the table

Even O Really opening mono is supporting Trump. THOSE candidates who attacked Trump better start backtracking

"Likewise, tremendous infectious disease is pouring across the border"

Now he is sounding like Doc' Savage. FWIW, he is either listening to all our talkers, or has a team doing so, because he is hitting all our hot buttons. Or he is more of a patriot at the core than some make him out to be here...

[Sasparilla]

This is why Trump has risen high in the polls. He says things that lots of people think but will not speak. They are afraid of how their friends and neighbors might react. But, apparently lots of people are thinking the same thing. Thats why so many people are saying, “Go Donald.”Trump is really on to something.
