The fear, loathing, and hate Trump gave El Paso this past February.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

NOTE: Why am I posting this? Why publish such hateful, spiteful, meaningless rhetoric from such a horrible human being? Why give him or his words any attention at all?

My answer is that as difficult as it is, his hateful words need attention. Negative attention. Attention that shows that this is who he really is. Not some guy reading a teleprompter full of remarks prepared by some speechwriter, words that he clearly never bothered to review himself (or he would have known it actually got a name of a city wrong.)

This is Trump. And people come out and flock to hear these words from Trump. And we can't stick our heads in the sand that this is going on or that this is the message he is feeding into people's heads and people are now literally dying because of him. Remember these words whenever someone attempts to defend him and claim he never encouraged this behavior.

So, for those who can stomach it, this is what Donald Trump told an audience in El Paso on February 11, 2019. (And I know the shooter wasn't from El Paso, but the bloody irony of it all still rings true nonetheless.)

It's driving them crazy. It's driving them crazy but look at them, they still come. I've never said anything like it. But illegal immigration hurts all Americans, including millions of legal immigrants, by driving down wages, draining public resources, and claiming countless innocent lives. You see what's going on, folks.

You know what's going on. They give you all of these phony stats they say, "Oh, it's the same. It's the same." It's not the same. It's a bad situation going on and we've stopped it. We are taking out thousands and thousands of people from MS-13, we're bringing them to hell out of our country, thousands. But if we had proper border security, including a very powerful wall, we wouldn't have to work so hard and it would be a lot safer and a lot better.

My Administration is committed to ending illegal immigration, while modernizing our legal immigration system, which has been in terrible shape for many, many decades to prioritize the admission of those who can support themselves for them actually and contribute to our economy, people that come in on merit, merit, merit -- instead of random lotteries and chain migration.

And the fact is, illegal immigration is a heartbreaking human tragedy. One in three women is sexually assaulted on the very long and dangerous journey north up to our country. Sex traffickers, these are the worst human beings on Earth, exploit our porous border to sell young girls and women into modern day slavery.

You wouldn't even know that, nobody knows that. And by the way, do you think they come in through the ports of entry? [Audience calls out No] I listen to the Democrats, let me nice, just say the Democrats, I won't be specific, and they say, "Oh, everything comes through the port." They don't do that. They drive out where there's no barrier, no wall, they make a left.

Congratulations, you're in the United States. That's all. If you have three women tied up in the backseat of a car, you're not going through, folks, a port of entry where they do look in the backseat, at least, right? Drugs pouring through the border kills tens of thousands of innocent Americans a year, including heroin, meth, cocaine, fentanyl, and so many others.

They come through the Southern border. We have a drug problem over the last 6, 7, 10 years like we have never had before. We can have such a big cut in the numbers, in the percentages, if we get the Wall built -- if we have a strong Wall with other things, but we need the Wall and it has to be built and we want to build it fast.

The number of illegal immigrants crossing our borders is so large that we've know where to hold them. We have to build -- they want buildings, they want jails. They want, these people, how about the word caravan? [Audience Boos] Caravan, I think that was one of mine, but it looked like a caravan. Where you have thousands and thousands of people coming from Guatemala, from Honduras, and El Salvador, and they march up through Mexico.

And by the way, if we didn't have walls in those areas, in some cases that we put up, in many cases where we reinforced, in many cases where our great military helped us with barbed wire -- you would have people pouring in. They don't pour in. The problem is our laws are so bad that there's no way we can quickly remove them.

Other countries say, "Get out of here." We have to bring them through a court system. We sign their names, they touch our land, we sign them up, we explained to them, "Please come back in six years for court," and only the dumbest people show back up. Nobody ever shows up. Nobody comes back in, like 2 percent.

They go in to our country. The good news is we have great law enforcement and many of these people, we know where they are, and we're going to get them the hell out. But we have to change our laws. So right now we have a backlog. You won't even believe this. Other countries don't do this. Somebody walks into our country, we bring them to court, we have now a legal -- we need Perry Mason -- [Audience laughs] -- we have a legal case.

Nobody else does that. Other countries say, "Get out. You can't come in. You're not a citizen of whatever country." We bring them in. So listen to this, right now we have almost 900,000 cases, 900,000. How many judges are going to take care of -- we're going to have to hire tens of thousands of judges to do that, 900,000 cases.

Right here in El Paso. And I've been watching where they've been trying to say, "Oh, the Wall didn't make that much -- " Well you take a look at what they did with their past crimes and how they made them from very serious to a much lesser, you take a look at what the real system is. I spoke to people that have been here a long time they said, "When that wall went up, it's a whole different ball game." Is that a correct statement?

A whole different ball game. I'll give you another example. And I don't care whether a mayor is a Republican or a Democrat, they're full of crap when they say it has it made a big difference. I heard the same thing from the fake news. They said, "Oh, crime actually stayed the same." It didn't say the same, it went way down and look at what they did to their past crimes and look at how they recorded those past crimes, it went way, way down.

These people, you know, you'd think did want to get to the bottom of a problem and solve a problem, not try and pull the wool over everybody's eyes. So for those few people that are out there on television saying, "Oh, it didn't make too much of a difference," it made a -- people from El Paso, am I right?

It's fake news. It's fake. I'm telling you, just fake news. And you know what? You wouldn't even have to know you can say that automatically without even knowing it. It's obvious, it's common sense. Just a few thousand feet, as an example, from where we stand right now on the other side of the border, it's one of the most dangerous cities in the world, Juarez, Mexico

Well, the people at Juarez agree. Yet, thanks to a powerful border wall and El Paso, Texas it's one of America's safest cities now. Now, listen to the this, so you're talking a few feet away, right, a few feet, got a wall, a few feet away. Last year Juarez had 1,200 murders, El Paso, right next door, a few feet away, had 23 murders.

That's not good either. But 23 compared to 1,200. Walls work, actually there's nothing like them for what we're talking about. We want to stop drugs. We want to stop traffickers. We want to stop criminals from coming in, walls save lives. Walls save tremendous numbers of lives. The biggest proponents of open borders are rich liberals and wealthy donors.

These are hypocrites who oppose security for you while living their entire lives -- I do it too, to be honest with you, I'm guilty. I'm guilty. I also live behind walls, okay. They live behind walls and gates in their guards all over the place. Me too, because I want to be safe and I want to make America safe, if you don't mind. [Audience chants USA]

So security should not belong only to the rich and to the powerful, safety is the birthright of every American, which is why we must finish the Wall. It's happening. Because walls are not immoral, as it was said, human trafficking is immoral. [Audience calls out Yes] Drug peddling is immoral. [Audience calls out Yes]

Child smuggling is immoral. [Audience calls out Yes] Sanctuary Cities that get Americans killed, they're immoral. [Audience calls out Yes] Open borders are dangerous and immoral. [Audience calls out Yes] My administration has put forward a compromise that really is a compromise, and I hate even compromise on things like this, but it's showing common sense, it's compassionate, and it's going to solve our problem and the cost is a fraction.

When you look at the drugs that are pouring across from Mexico, if it stopped a small percentage, and it won't, it'll stop a large percentage, it would pay for itself in a matter of weeks. That's the kind of numbers you're talking about, a matter of weeks. And by the way, I -- I hate to say this, because we have a very good relationship, but Mexico had the highest number of killings that they've ever had, almost 40,000 people were murdered in Mexico.

Mexico is not too far away, and we need to take care of our people and we're going to do that and it's happening and it's happening a lot faster than anybody thought. And I love that sign. Thank you. What we're proposing includes humanitarian assistance, drug detection at our ports and everywhere else, closing legal loopholes, which is a big problem, and plans for a smart, strategic, see-through steel barrier or wall, let's call it a wall, it's better.

The American people have waited long enough. We must secure the border, pass Kate's Law -- end Catch and Release, shutdown Sanctuary Cities -- you know, we need Democrat votes to do that -- deport criminal aliens, and keep the coyotes and traffickers and drug dealers the hell out of our country, please.

1. I have to disagree that Trump would have caught the error.

He does not give a shit.
