Trump said in his statement that some in the news media had begun to totally distort what he had said over the past week, and that many fabulous people come in from Mexico and our country is better for it.
However, he said, the United States has become a dumping ground for Mexico with illegal border-crossers smuggling illicit drugs and carrying tremendous infectious disease....
This is merely one of thousands of similar incidents throughout the United States. In other words, the worst elements in Mexico are being pushed into the United States by the Mexican government, he said.
