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.

Roves comment to OReilly was that if trump had done his research and presented it like bill did he would have gone further. My thoughts. Trump threw a firecracker. Got folks attention. Plenty of time to present the facts logically after the scary PC sheep are exposed
Statement from Donald J. Trump:
I dont see how there is any room for misunderstanding or misinterpretation of the statement I made on June 16th during my Presidential announcement speech. Here is what I said, and yet this statement is deliberately distorted by the media:
When Mexico (meaning the Mexican Government) sends its people, theyre not sending their best. Theyre not sending you (pointing to the audience). Theyre not sending you (pointing again). Theyre sending people that have lots of problems, and theyre bringing those problems to us. Theyre bringing drugs.Theyre bringing crime. Theyre rapists. And some, I assume, are good people! But I speak to border guards and they tell us what were getting. And it only makes common sense. Theyre sending us not the right people. Its coming from more than Mexico. Its coming from all over South and Latin America, and its coming probably from the Middle East. But we dont know. Because we have no protection and we have no competence, we dont know whats happening. And its got to stop and its got to stop fast.
What can be simpler or more accurately stated? The Mexican Government is forcing their most unwanted people into the United States. They are, in many cases, criminals, drug dealers, rapists, etc. This was evident just this week when, as an example, a young woman in San Francisco was viciously killed by a 5 time deported Mexican with a long criminal record, who was forced back into the United States because they didnt want him in Mexico. This is merely one of thousands of similar incidents throughout the United States. In other words, 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. 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. On the other hand, many fabulous people come in from Mexico and our country is better for it. But these people are here legally, and are severely hurt by those coming in illegally. I am proud to say that I know many hard working Mexicansmany of them are working for and with me
and, just like our country, my organization is better for it.
The Mexican Government wants an open border as long as its a ONE WAY open border into the United States. Not only are they killing us at the border, but they are killing us on trade and the country of Mexico is making billions of dollars in doing so.
I have great respect for Mexico and love their people and their peoples great spirit. The problem is, however, that their leaders are far smarter, more cunning, and better negotiators than ours. To the citizens of the United States, who I will represent far better than anyone else as President, the Mexican government is not our friend and why should they be when the relationship is totally one sided in their favor on both illegal immigration and trade. I have pointed this out during my speeches and it is something Mexico doesnt want me to say. In actuality, it was only after my significant rise in the polls that Univision, previously my friend, went ballistic. I believe that my examples of bad trade deals for the United States was of even more concern to the Mexican government than my talk of border security.
I have lost a lot during this Presidential run defending the people of the United States. I have always heard that it is very hard for a successful person to run for President. Macys, NBC, Serta and NASCAR have all taken the weak and very sad position of being politically correct even though they are wrong in terms of what is good for our country. Univision, because 70% of their business comes from Mexico, in my opinion, is being dictated to by the Mexican Government. The last thing Mexico wants is Donald Trump as President in that I will make great trade deals for the United States and will have an impenetrable border—only legally approved people will come through easily.
Interestingly, Univision has just announced they are attempting to go public despite very poor and even negative earnings, which is not a good situation for a successful IPO or high stock pricenot to mention that I am currently suing them for breach of contract. Remember, Univision is the one who began this charade in the first place, and they are owned by one of Hillary Clintons biggest backers. After the speech was made, there were numerous compliments and indeed, many rave reviewsthere was very little criticism. It wasnt until a week after my announcement that people started to totally distort these very easy to understand words. If there was something stated incorrectly, it would have been brought up immediately and with great enthusiasm.
The issues I have addressed, and continue to address, are vital steps to Make America Great Again! Additionally, I would be the best jobs President that God ever created. Lets get to work!
Loss of money is just a tax right off to the Donald. No hurt at all
O’Reilly always toots his own horn. If he knows so much, let him put his fortune on the line and run. You’re right. It takes a grenade to get a lot of folks attention.
“This guy has more balls than anyone who’d run for POTUS...AT LEAST since Reagan and Goldwater.”
Trump is an arrogant fool. His ill advised shooting from the lip is hurting any chance of sound immigration reform. He is not helping anyone, and is actually hurting his own business interests. Eventually he will go dark when his pocketbook gets empty.
However, he makes the GOP look bad that there are actually persons lapping up his rhetoric. It is not helpful and it isn’t even amusing. The fool needs to put a cork in it.
You are suffering from normalcy bias.
That was a great statement. And a clear throwing down of the gaintlet. The second to last paragraph was awesome; he just slid in a plug against univision’s IPO. That’s gonna leave a mark.
“Nobody can say Donald Trump did not invest his fortune and sacred honor in this run.”
Trump has NO sacred honor, just an overabundance of foolish arrogance. He is hurting himself and by association, all members of the GOP.
Good graphic Any figures/ information about TB?
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.
And the entire democrat party and many republicans are FORCING federal authorities to DO absolutely positively upon burden of getting fired.. NOTHING ABOUT IT.. Nothing.. Zip.. Nada..
Democracy seems to be Mob rule by mobsters..
You know Mexican and American mobsters..
The Cartel in Washington D.C. seems to be a Global Cartel..
Whats the deal between the Mexican and America Cartels?..
-OR- even........ IT IS TWO CARTELS.?.. Don’t look like it..
Occams Razor says it ISN’T..
The weekend polling iw in and it’s good news for Trump and bad news for Jeb Bush and the GOP-e. That’s why he released that statement today.
However, he makes the GOP look bad
That horse left the barn long ago... i.e. empty barn..
Doubling down on a winning hand. You’d think this guy had played cards before.
Damn the torpedoes! Full Trump ahead!
Cant deny that this guy is bringing it. I like fearlessness.
Love how he released the statement while Romney and Jeb were having their pow-wow today.
The weekend polling is in and it’s good news for Trump and bad news for Jeb, Mexico and the GOP-e.
Trump is just grabbing the miles and miles of low hanging common sense fruit the GOP put off limits and let rot on the vine. It has always been there for the grabbing but the ballless GOPers would take it. Your being really stupid if you think this is going to stop. Go Donald go.
Mind your language, please; there are ladies present. What is wrong with using the word “courage”?
Trump is making the kind of waves Perot did with his ‘giant sucking sound’ allegation.
Libs/Dems/GOPelites/Chamber of Commerce absolutely hate that the truth is being spoken on a national stage.
