5. Crime-infested is an adjective and concept is a noun.

If you stick another word between an adjective and a noun it becomes another adjective modifying that noun. Therefore what he actually wrote was "crime-breeding concept".

If you're going to divorce the word breeding entirely from its context in that sentence and start free associating then it's not difficult to believe he meant anything at all including "my daughter is hot" or "the breasts in my KFC bucket keep getting smaller" or "I wish John Kelly would wrap up this immigration meeting so I can enjoy some more Executive Time watching the Swedish girls on Fox & Friends".

The point is why jump past the obvious racist point that you can nail him with (that he keeps insisting that immigrants cause crime after being repeatedly fact checked) and hang your critical hat on a fairly obscure potential meaning you've had to dig out of his word salad.
