Donald Trump is not backing down on his incendiary attacks on Mexican immigration — and even expanded his criticism Monday to include disease streaming across the southern border of the United States.
“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,” Trump said in a rambling three-page statement released online Monday.
“Likewise, tremendous infectious disease is pouring across the border,” he added. “The United States has become a dumping ground for Mexico and, in fact, for many other parts of the world.”
The real estate mogul said he has great respect for Mexico but that he recognizes that its leaders are “far smarter, more cunning and better negotiators” than their American counterparts.
He also accused the media of deliberately distorting his words, claiming there is no room for “misunderstanding or misinterpretation” of the comments he made during his June 16 announcement speech suggesting that most Mexican immigrants are rapists. “After the speech was made, there were numerous compliments and indeed, many rave ‘reviews’ — there was very little criticism,” he said.
“I have lost a lot during this Presidential run defending the people of the United States,” said Trump, who has lost more than $50.5 million to date from canceled deals with NBC, Univision, Macy’s and beauty pageants. “I have always heard that it is very hard for a successful person to run for President.”

Oh I think we already know who the PC wussies are!!!! Cruz is standing with the Donald.
bill did state that nearly 60% of al linmates are illegals or soemthign to that effect-
Inmates cost approx. $125 per day to house, plus medical expenses, which they constantly abuse even when it’s clear there is nothing wrong-
A person on Social security, who worked minimum wages all their life- gets approx. $8 per day (plus medical, which they rarely use- except for real sick elderly)
Yep- no money for seniors disabled and veterans because all the tax money is going to pay for illegals and going overseas to terrorist nations
Funny how the priorities of our gov is for terrorists, illegals and criminals, and not for our nations LEGAL and most vulnerable citizens
Trump should be touting this fact as well- and saying “The left accuses us of not wanting to help the poor- but here are the facts- THEY are the oens stealing money from the poor to give to illegals criminals and terrorists”
“If the illegals coming to the US are so valuable, why isn’t Mexico doing something to keep them?”
I’ll have to remember that line...
Great points. We’re being robbed repeatedly to fund this costly lawless chaos from the south and all points. Everyone of us, our elderly our veterans are paying big. This is not how you treat your own people.
Mexico should quickly adapt to new trade and border security changes and recognize our security concerns and what’s in our best interests.
I canceled my account at Macy’s yesterday and enjoyed telling them why. They are also sending me a letter stating I closed account, NOT that card was lost or stolen. From the conversation I had with Macy’s employee I know many folks made calls!
