Trump also took credit for bringing to the public’s attention the death of a San Francisco woman killed by an undocumented immigrant.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Wednesday compared undocumented Mexican immigrants to the “hardcore criminals” Fidel Castro sent to the United States in the early 1980s.

Speaking on conservative radio, the real estate mogul addressed the controversy surrounding his characterization of Mexican immigrants as “rapists” in his presidential announcement speech.

“A lot of people said, ‘Would you apologize?’ I said, ‘Absolutely, I’d apologize, if there was something to apologize for,” Trump told radio host Wayne Dupree on Wednesday.

“But what I said is exactly true. You understand that, Wayne. And what I’m saying — and I have great respect for the Mexican people. I love the Mexican people. I have many Mexicans working for me and they’re great.”

“But that’s — we’re not talking about — we’re talking about a government that’s much smarter than our government,” Trump continued. “Much sharper, more cunning than our government, and they’re sending people.”(continued)

Obummer won’t like that at all.

perhaps if they went through the legal immigration process they could prove they werent criminals.

You should see how Mexicans treat illegals in their country...

[BenLurkin]

Well, a lot of them are, no doubt. But I knew someone who worked screening the Mariel criminals -- and according to that person they were all hombres muy malo."

Some of the Spanish-speakers from my military intelligence battalion at Fort Hood went to Arkansas to deal with them.

I lived in Miami during the Mariel boatlift. You would not believe the human garbage that washed ashore.

Trump is 100% right that ILLEGAL Mexicans are a danger to US citizens. Emphasis on ILLEGAL. Because illegals undergo no scrutiny about previous crimes, health problems and knowledge of English.

his characterization of Mexican immigrants

Seemed to me he wasn’t talking about immigrants, he was talking about illegal aliens.

Fraudulently documented foreigners are not Americans and they are not immigrants.

They are illegal aliens.

Subject to deportation.

Make it so

[entropy12]

Yeah, everybody remember how Mexico treated that PTSD suffering Marine who drove into Mexico by mistake.

People are not stupid. Trump has skyrocketed in polls because he is resonating with people on the illegals issue. Common folks see illegals all around them.

You should read the comments on the article. A whole bunch of profane, brain dead leftists and one stupid racist. Is that a website for morons or something?

[tennmountainman]

Trump...telling it like it is.

[Jack Hydrazine]

How does Mexico treat illegals?

I know that's true because of the way a couple of the rinos have backed off trashing him. That tells me the polls show Trump doing well on the issue.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Anytime you invade the US (or any other country) without their permission it does make one a criminal and a danger to the citizenry.

Mischaracterizing in the title and article by Buzzfeed.

Listen to the 2.25m audio

[2ndDivisionVet]

Oh, how I envy you and your not knowing what Buzzfeed is.

[Jeff Chandler]

So the answer is “yes”.

[Mmogamer]

Does no media outlet saty that he was talking about illegals? Jeez.
