Donald Trump is doubling down on his controversial comments about Mexican immigration.
The entrepreneur and Republican presidential candidate sent out an epic three page, 881 word statement on Monday afternoon detailing his belief that "the worst elements in Mexico are being pushed into the United States by the Mexican government."
"The largest suppliers of heroin, cocaine and other illicit drugs are Mexican cartels that arrange to have Mexican immigrants trying to cross the borders and smuggle in the drugs. The Border Patrol knows this," Trump wrote. "Likewise, tremendous infectious disease is pouring across the border. The United States has become a dumping ground for Mexico and, in fact, for many other parts of the world."
Shortly before releasing his statement, Trump gave an interview to Business Insider where he described the idea that the Mexican government is deliberately "pushing the bad ones" to the US as the one element of his position on immigration that hasn't gotten enough attention.

What is his game? When has Trump ever been interested in conservative causes?
He is saying stuff to get amnesty passef, because he benefits financially.
Maybe he has woke up—if he doesn’t support conservative views their might not be a capitalistic America—only a Single Party “Workers Utopia” with no place for Trump or Freedom.
(IMO) he’s overplaying his hand.
They are NOT immigrants THEY ARE MULES... carrying “something”..
They are used like animals.. and for practical purposes they ARE..
They are not even insurgents.. their MULES....
Point out which part of his statement is wrong because I’d love to know.
You believe he is an idealist? It’s ridiculous.
Double down!
Where can I find the real numbers? source?
But suddenly Trump is overplaying his hand here.☺
Very slick.
He's saying things to provoke sympathy for illegals.
He demanded Obama's paperwork. He needs to tell how many illegals have worked for him? How many illegals working for him committed crimes against U.S. citizens?
It isn’t a Conservative cause, it’s an American cause.
Unlike Obama, Trump LOVES America. We may not agree with many of his opinions on Social issues, but at least he is getting the information out there about the Illegal Invader Problem. He is rattling the Cage and nobody else is.
He’ll never be the Republican Nominee, but he is really making this Election Season very interesting.
You’re making yourself look really silly.
I like what he’s saying but if he doesn’t ladle it out a notch slower he’s gonna spook everybody. Unless, of course, he’s only there to strike up the conversation...
His game is to attract the conservative base that is sick of illegal aliens being treated as VIPs.
There is no reason to post an oversized image. You can size an image on paint, then host it on imgur.
