Monday while speaking at the White House Forum on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), President Donald Trump said the Democratic lawmakers who oppose his immigration policy “just don’t mind crime.”
Trump said, “ICE officers arrested over 127,000 criminal aliens, and these are tough ones, aren’t they, fellows? These are tough ones, including those charged or convicted of 48,000 assaults, 12,000 sex crimes, and 1,800 homicides.”
He added, “To protect our nation from smuggling, trafficking drugs, crime, the men and women of DHS are building the border wall as we sit, and the wall is getting longer and taller and stronger each and every day. We have spent and will soon be spending about $3.2 billion, and we are looking for about $5 billion for this next coming year. We are building the wall, step by step, and it’s not easy because we have a little opposition called the Democrats. I guess they just don’t mind crime. They don’t mind crime. It’s pretty sad.”
