Immigrants have been accused of stealing jobs and government resources in the United States.
The controversial former President and White House hopeful, Donald Trump, made this allegation while courting separate groups of Black voters and hardcore conservatives in Michigan.
The Irish Times reports that the former president made many new baseless claims while attacking the nation’s voting system.
Trump’s comments on illegal immigration marked a connecting theme in downtown Detroit, where he sought to put together a delicate coalition at both a Black church and a group known for attracting white supremacists.
He told a cheering crowd of thousands of conservative activists that, “The people coming across the border – all those millions of people – they’re inflicting tremendous harm to our Black population.”
While referring to some members of violent immigrant gangs, he said “They’re not human beings. They’re animals.”
