Donald Trump is not backing down on his incendiary attacks on Mexican immigration — and even expanded his criticism Monday to include disease streaming across the southern border of the United States.
“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,” Trump said in a rambling three-page statement released online Monday.
“Likewise, tremendous infectious disease is pouring across the border,” he added. “The United States has become a dumping ground for Mexico and, in fact, for many other parts of the world.”
The real estate mogul said he has great respect for Mexico but that he recognizes that its leaders are “far smarter, more cunning and better negotiators” than their American counterparts.
He also accused the media of deliberately distorting his words, claiming there is no room for “misunderstanding or misinterpretation” of the comments he made during his June 16 announcement speech suggesting that most Mexican immigrants are rapists. “After the speech was made, there were numerous compliments and indeed, many rave ‘reviews’ — there was very little criticism,” he said.
“I have lost a lot during this Presidential run defending the people of the United States,” said Trump, who has lost more than $50.5 million to date from canceled deals with NBC, Univision, Macy’s and beauty pageants. “I have always heard that it is very hard for a successful person to run for President.”

If the illegals coming to the US are so valuable, why isn’t Mexico doing something to keep them?
“If the illegals coming to the US are so valuable, why isn’t Mexico doing something to keep them?”
This is a good question.
You would think that THEY would be putting up the wall themselves!
I am officially impressed with Donald J. Trump.
Macy’s is going to go ballistic.
Pray America is waking
Exactly.
And along those same lines, if Mexico is so damned good, why are it’s citizen fleeing by the millions?
Who is abusing them, Trump or their own national leaders? We all know the dirty little answer to that don’t we.
Macy’s has gotten ridiculously expensive. I find it not difficult at all to stop going there.
And gets slammed for telling the truth. We have to be oh so careful we don’t hurt their feelings. Bless their hearts.
Remember the Cuban Boat Lift? Castro sent all of the undesirables, all the criminals and opened the jails and sent all of them.
Facts apparently equal “attacks” to the LSM. But we knew that.
Trump is a viable candidate
We have created a blue-ribbon panel of the most eminent progressives to study that question. Its report will be released on November 9, 2016. Until then, shut up.
The CDC has documented that the illegals from Mexico are carrying sigificant amounts of disease into the US. The TB cases alone are 5 times greater in the illegals and they carry more resistant strains of TB.
Yep, and Trump is trumping them. They’re so scared (The GOP) of him they’re distancing themselves which is good. That way we’ll know who the wussies are.
I’m no fan of Trump for a number of reasons. But calling his statements on this issue “controversial” is delicious! I am still waiting for him to say something about immigration that is factually wrong. And waiting. And waiting.

Personally, I would love to see The Donald buy controlling interest in Macy’s and fire the board of directors.
bill o really criticizing trump tonight on his show- claiming trump was essentially painting every Mexican as bad, and claiming that ‘many hispanics’ coming across the border are ‘good people’ (But leaving out the FACT that these ‘good people’ are escaping economic hardships in mexico and IMMEDIATELY causing severe economic hardships here I nthe states
Nearly 75% of immigrants, both legal and illegal, are on government assistance- some to the tune of nearly $45,000 a year.
Illegals ARE costing our country over $200 BILLION dollars a year (When all the devastation and welfare and assistances they receive, plus the loss of money from them not paying taxes, and sending OUR money back over boarder into mexico, are taken into consideration.
It’s amazing that politicians in the government can’t seem to find anym oney to keep OUR most vulnerable and needy citizens, elderly, disabled, and veterans supplied with a livable income, but we can find all kinds of money for ILLEGALS and to pay the for the damage they do here- murdering, rapes, thefts, etc etc, not to mention drugs- Some estimate that the costs could be as much as $400 BILLION dollars PER YEAR
IF anything, Trump isn’t hitting the GOP and Dmocrats nearly hard enough on the issue- ILLEGALS are bankrupting this country- And it’s high time that a fearless politician start slamming home this FACT UNAPOLOGETICALLY
I am no fan of trumps- but on this issue at least he is spot on
