WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump, urging tougher security measures along the U.S.-Mexico border on Thursday, claimed that women "are being raped at numbers never seen before" while an immigrant caravan is heading toward the U.S.
"Yesterday, it came out where this journey coming up, women are raped at levels that nobody has ever seen before," the president said at a White House tax reform event in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. "They don't want to mention that, so we have to change our laws."
"Remember my opening remarks at Trump Tower...Everybody said, 'Oh, he was so tough.' I used the word 'rape,'" the president said.
That was a reference to the announcement of his bid for the White House in 2015. In that speech, Trump disparaged Mexican immigrants, claiming, "They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."

As the number of Central American women and girls crossing into the U.S. continues to spike, so is the staggering amount of sexual violence waged against these migrants who are in search of a better life.
According to a stunning Fusion investigation, 80 percent of women and girls crossing into the U.S. by way of Mexico are raped during their journey. That’s up from a previous estimate of 60 percent, according to an Amnesty International report.
This year alone, immigration authorities expect more than 70,000 unaccompanied minors to come through the United States unlawfully, the majority of whom are from Central American countries of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.
President Trump speaks the Truth.
Hiding minority crime worked so well in Florida.
I wish he wouldn’t spout bullish!t like that. The “Rape of Nanking” did not get its name from a woman named Nan King.
And there are, quite literally, hundreds of examples of widespread rape of women, children and even men during various wars, invasions, sackings and pillaging throughout history.
Rape Trees actually Do exist.

He’s apparently talking about the levels of rape of women coming in from Mexico, not globally anywhere in the world throughout history.
Relax a little.
They are not sending their best.
That was not apparent to me.
When someone uses the phrase “levels that nobody has ever seen before” I do not assume they are talking about a discrete time or location.
It is ok if they are raped because the democrats will give them free abortions once they cross the border.
I believe Trump was referring to the level of rape occurring in Europe after uncontrolled illegal immigration the middle east. then alluding that this could happen here if we were not carful.
You see this is exactly the point of statements like this, we’re already arguing not about whether there are rapes but whether they’re worse than some of the worst things that have happened I. The history of the world. Point made.
You have better sources of information that allow you to call it that? Or maybe you think rape is no big deal?
