Trump has long used degrading language toward immigrants
Railing against undocumented immigration has been a consistent feature of Donald Trump’s presidential campaigns, going back to his very first one.
Railing against undocumented immigration has been a consistent feature of Donald Trump’s presidential campaigns, going back to his very first one.
On the day that Trump launched his first presidential bid in June 2015, he accused Mexico of “not sending the best” people.
“They’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime, they’re rapists, and some, I assume, are good people. But I speak to border guards and they’re telling us what we’re getting,” he said, setting the tone for his MAGA movement.
Since then, spanning three campaigns and four years in the White House, Trump has continued using inaccurate, derogatory and often racist language to refer to immigrants coming from all over the world. In the latest iteration, he accused Haitian immigrants in Ohio of stealing and eating people's pets.
