Trump on his immigration plan: "There are more migrants than they say because they allowed criminals and terrorists and drug dealers to come into the U.S. and are told by countries like Venezuela if they come back, they'll kill them. Crime in those countries are way down because they gave criminals to her and they did it because she'll get votes, but it isn't worth it. They've destroyed the fabric of our country. Millions of people let in and all over the world, crime is down except in America and we have a new form of crime, it's called "migrant crime" and it's at the highest level ever. The FBI lied about crime because they didn't include cities. It was a fraud like the number of jobs they said were created!"
Calling the FBI liars is so insane. This is the Law & Order Party once again...
I mean the FBI are liars, but not about that.
The FBI is also only responsible for federal crime statistics, as I recall. Most crimes aren't federal.
I do wish she had called that one out. Violent crime is the lowest it has been in 50 years. Undocumented immigration is below where it was when Trump was in office. Undocumented immigrants commit less crime than citizens.
