Nothing about the 230,000 plus Americans who have died of Covid-19
Nothing about the 9,000,000 who were infected with the virus
Nothing about the unemployed
Nothing about the hungry
Nothing about the school children
and
Nothing about victims of police violence
I loathe this man.

Can we remember the Native Americans, millions of whom were killed by illegal immigrants in 1492-?

He believes in The Manifest Destiny version of history.

Except, as ABC News points out, theres no national database for crimes committed by immigration status, and available studies actually show that crime rates are lower among immigrant groups than among native-born Americans. While Trumps rally speeches this week mentioned the need to stop terrorists (ie. Muslims) from Syria, Somalia and Yemen, right-wing terrorists have killed more people on U.S. soil than jihadis have since September 11, 2001.
