But it's the next part of the tweet that is more difficult to understand.
"Sooo many Sanctuary areas want OUT of this ridiculous, crime infested & breeding concept," according to the President.
What exactly does he mean by "breeding concept?" It appears to be a new addition to his rhetoric on immigration. He doesn't appear to have used it before on Twitter or in recent public remarks on sanctuary cities.
There is great danger in trying to dissect every word of a Trump tweet, but in this case it is worth trying to figure out. CNN has reached out to the White House to figure out exactly what he meant.
The tweet has not been deleted at the time of this writing, so he means for those words to remain out there. In other words, it's not likely to be at typo. He has been known to correct those in the past.

Dog-whistles obvious to anyone with even one-quarter of a brain (except those who righteously cry "stop making everything about race!!!" who often run on only one-sixth of a brain).
