Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel declined on Sunday to address an incendiary immigration video shared last week by President Donald Trump, instead saying that, "we know good people are trying to come into the country, too."
The online video, which was tweeted by Trump last Wednesday, accuses Democrats, without evidence, of plotting to help people it depicts as Central American invaders overrun the nation with cop killers.
"Listen, we know good people are trying to get into this country, too. They see the prosperity, they see the economic growth," McDaniel told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union."
"They're coming to this country because they see it as a beacon of hope. We need to find a legal way to get people here, we need to find a way to fix our immigration system. Democrats won't work with us," she said.
The web video -- produced for the Trump campaign -- features Luis Bracamontes, a Mexican man who had been deported but returned to the United States and was convicted in February in the slaying of two California deputies.
"I'm going to kill more cops soon," a grinning Bracamontes is shown saying in court as captions flash across the screen reading, "Democrats let him into our country. Democrats let him stay."
McDaniel told Tapper that by sharing the video, the President was simply trying to bring attention to Bracamontes' story.
"I think the President's highlighting the point once again that we don't -- and I think everybody agrees with this, Jake -- we didn't want this individual in our country," she said.
"We don't want people being deported and being criminals and then coming back into this country."

Why di we need more people ? Our freeways are crowded enough.
We don’t need any more people. Thank you.
If it was against the law why are 15 million senior immigrants collecting supplemental social security.?Obviously the law must be saying ANY INDIVIDUAL OVER 65 is eligible for supplemental social security benefits. My own relatives are doing that (not sponsored by me, sponsored by my other relatives). They can not have Medicare, but they can have Medicaid if they have no wealth, which most do not, even if their sponsoring sons/daughters make good incomes.

SSI is not “Social Security!”
And it is just a small stipend.
“we know good people are trying to come into the country, too.”
uh, by definition, they’re NOT good people if they come in illegally ...
Where has the RINO been, with all of the money the RNC is reported raising, during these very important mid-terms?
I haven’t seen many signs that much of that money is being spent on ads, against the socialists running against Republicans.
There is SO much low hanging fruit for the RNC to easily swing at, and hit out of the park, with the left’s ‘platform’. Why are we NOT seeing ads?
And some innocent people are locked up in jail. But we don't let everybody out of jail because of it.
Not that small having paid nothing into it.
“SSI benefits also are payable to people 65 and older without disabilities who meet the financial limits.”
You need to inform yourself better. For individuals, the SSI federal payment standard amount in 2018 is $750 per month. Not bad having never paid a dime into it.
Good people dont force their way into other peoples countries.
I knew she was bad news from the git-go because of her close familial connection with Uncle Mitt.
I'm withholding any more contributions to the RNC till she's gone. Why should I contribute to anything or anyone antithetical to my conservative Republican beliefs?
