Theyre bringing crime. Theyre rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.
The left and media went nuts, using only selected parts of his statement for maximum outrage.
Can anyone deny the truth of Trumps words? According to a Fusion investigation, 80 percent of women and girls crossing into the U.S. from Mexico are raped during their journey. Thats up from a previous estimate of 60 percent by Amnesty International.

NBC severed their relationship with Trump and canceled plans to broadcast his Miss USA beauty pageant. The George Soros-backed MoveOn.org created a petition pressuring Macys to dump Trump. Macys caved, removing Trump brand merchandise from its stores.
