Donald Trump Says Mexicans Are Diseased

[Cali_Democrat]

Donald Trump has released yet another statement––this one incredibly long––insisting that everything he said about Mexican immigrant criminals is spot-on and there’s no “room for misunderstanding or misinterpretation” on what he said.

Despite criticism from GOP rivals, Trump isn’t backing down from his comments about how Mexico is “forcing” their undesirables into the United States, saying now that “tremendous infectious disease is pouring across the border.”

Trump went after the media for “distorting” what he said and, of course, also used the occasion to rail against all the companies distancing themselves from him, declaring they’ve “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.”

He also invoked Univision’s recently-announced plan to go public and bragged about how there were “many rave ‘reviews'” of his Mexico remarks at the time.

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.

6. This was a RW radio talking point from 2 summers ago - the wave of immigrant children

Conservative figures such as Rush Limbaugh, Pat Robertson, and Allen West have been pushing the dubious link between undocumented children and EV-D68.

Rush Limbaugh. During his September 8 program, Limbaugh connected undocumented immigration to enterovirus. After noting the spread of the virus, Limbaugh said the "companion story is Obama will not tell anybody where all of the children that have crossed the border in the last four months have been relocated to ... Now, are the two stories related or are they not? Does this sweeping mysterious virus that's multiplying across the Midwest, does it have anything to do with that or not? We don't know. That's the answer. We just don't know. But some people think there may be some kind of a connection." Limbaugh's website -- which is screenshotted at the top of this post -- also drew a connection between the children and enterovirus.

Michael Savage. On his September 8 radio program, which was touted by WND, Savage said he's been "trying to warn America about the unscreened immigrants being brought in" and then blamed undocumented immigrants for purportedly spreading EV-D68. He added that the government is "encouraging it by not speaking out against bringing in infected children and putting them in our public schools."

Investor's Business Daily. The conservative financial newspaper published a September 26 editorial discussing enterovirus and claimed that "It's plain what's bringing up this great wave of diseases: immigration politics. President Obama is so obsessed with winning Latino votes for Democrats by neglecting border laws that he's unwittingly opened the U.S. up to a variety of third-world diseases."

Pat Robertson. As Right Wing Watch's Brian Tashman noted, on October 3, Pat Robertson discussed enterovirus and wondered if undocumented children carried "with them viruses that we were not familiar with in the United States and haven't built up immunity to?"

Jesse Lee Peterson. Peterson, host of The Jesse Lee Peterson Radio Show, claimed on October 4 that "all of these diseases that we're starting to hear about now, that the illegal aliens are bringing them in -- we had all these illegal children come in. Obama secretly implanted them, embedded them in communities around the country, no one knows where they are ... and now these strange and weird diseases are [starting to kill] folks."

Peterson's guest Los Angeles Times columnist Robin Abcarian pushed back on Peterson's claims, stating it's "not the fault" of undocumented children and that "when we were having the kids coming across from Central America a couple months ago when that was in the news, those kids were being vaccinated, they were being evaluated by doctors."

10. Am I wrong to think this stuff is cutting JEB two ways ?

1 - with the racist GOP base, and

2 - with conservative Mexican-Americans who don't see JEB defending his wife and children, etc.

[ever4lasting]

11. Trump is another Palin

Hasn't Trump figured it out that no one really listens to him. He has surrounded his self with yes men for the most part and He doesn't realize most Americans don't like him.

[sheshe2]

12. Way to run for President as a GOPEEEER

Insult every voting block. Great strategy.

I'd say he has a lock, the crowds will adore him.

[hifiguy]

13. This is turning out to be more fun

than watching a bunch of half-witted monkeys rammed full of meth who have all the feces they can throw.

Keep talking, pusbag, keep talking. Hey, Ted Cruz basically agrees with you, so you know you're on the right track.

In the head, that is.

16. Is he trying to get elected or...

17. Trump and his GOP defenders would fit in well with these guys:

"8. Any further immigration of non-Germans must be prevented. We demand that all non-Germans who have entered Germany since August 2, 1914, shall be compelled to leave the Reich immediately."
-- from "25 key points of The National Socialism Party"

"Even the sorrowful effort to adjust the population to the available territory by encouraging the emigration of new generations requires power, even more today as states hermetically seal themselves from the immigration of uncomfortable elements. The more economic difficulties increase, the more immigration will be seen as a burden"
--Adolph Hitler, from the 1927 Nuremberg rally
