Mexican Invasion Title: Donald Trump Unloads on Immigration Critics: ‘The United States Has Become a Dumping Ground’ Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump stood firm Monday on his description of Mexican immigrants as criminals. The businessman, under fire from critics in and out of his party, issued a lengthy statement refusing to back off comments he made in the speech launching his presidential bid last month. In it, he called Mexican immigrant criminals and rapists, prompting several businesses, including NBC, Univision and Macys, to cut ties with Trump. In his new statement, Trump said the Mexican government is forcing their most unwanted people into the United States and claimed that in many cases, they are criminals, drug dealers, rapists, etc. He said later Monday, during a charity golf tournament at one of his courses, that his standing in some polls is proof that many Americans share his views. I think the polls are a testament, said Trump, one of more than a dozen Republicans running for president. In the old days, they used to use a term, `the silent majority. We have the silent majority back, folks. Polls this early in the race tend to reflect name recognition more than depth of support for a candidate and few in the GOP regard Trump, a well-known TV figure, as a serious presidential contender despite poll standings that may be good enough to qualify him to be in the first GOP debate. Debate guidelines provide for the top 10 candidates in national polling to participate. One major brand that has not cut ties with Trump is the New York Yankees. The teams co-chairman Hank Steinbrenner, who organized the charity golf tournament at Trumps new course in the Bronx, said the real estate developer is a loyal friend and I am loyal to my friends. Trumps full statement reads: 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 borderonly 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!

I truly wish I had reason to be optimistic, but I do not see our nation lasting much longer. We will go the way of the Roman Empire, into the dustbin of history, or rather the trash heap.
