Donald Trump Once Compared Unauthorized Immigration To ‘Vomit’

After comparing Mexican immigrants to vomit, the media is going to sell Trump's 11th hour flip flop as a campaign reset? Amazing.

“Everything’s coming across the border: the illegals, the cars, the whole thing,” Trump said at an event hosted by Texas Patriots PAC. “It’s like a big mess. Blah. It’s like vomit.”

He spoke on April 30, about a month and a half before he announced his bid for president by saying he would make Mexico build a border wall and vilifying Mexican immigrants as murderers and rapists. Trump previewed that message in the same speech to the Texas Patriots PAC in a way that was remarkably similar.

“Mexico is not our friend, by the way,” he said, adding that “illegals” are “pouring across.”

“And just so you understand, this is the way life works: These are not their best and their finest. These are not you coming across,” he said, gesturing to the audience. “These are people ― and some are very fine, I’m sure ― but they’re sending their killers, their rapists, their murderers, their drug lords. This is what we’re getting.”
