Trump suggests immigrants have 'bad genes' in latest disparagement of migrants

In the middle of a rant about immigration, Trump said, "We got a lot of bad genes in our country." His campaign said later that "bad genes" was only in reference to murderers.

n an interview on “The Hugh Hewitt Show” that aired Monday morning, former President Donald Trump criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for her policies on the southern border and suggested that migrants have “bad genes.”


The 13,000 figure Trump cited is misleading. Immigration and Customs Enforcement told Congress in September that there are 13,000 immigrants convicted of homicide living outside of ICE detention, but three law enforcement officials told NBC News that that figure doesn't include people who were detained outside of ICE enforcement because ICE doesn't keep track of incarcerations on the state or local level. Two law enforcement officials also told NBC News that many of them crossed the border before Biden was president (including during Trump's tenure).

Border crossings across the country have dropped this year, in part due to Biden administration policies and in part to Mexico's efforts (which followed pressure on the Mexican government from the Biden administration).

He is trying to create the narrative that migrants are genetically inferior to whites....I know, he claims he was only talking about murderers...but he referenced some 425,000 people who are here...and that says a lot about that he isn't talking about murderers. Also, he lied about murderers being allowed to live here and wander around....ICE doesn't track the detention of murderers who are immigrants...because there is no need to do so...they are detained for years...and are not in ICE custody...they are in state or federal custody.

"Bad genes"......not far from classifying people as Volljuden, Geltungsjuden, or Mischlinge.
 

Donald Trump suggested Monday that people in the country illegally who have committed murder and other crimes have “bad genes,” the latest example of rhetoric by the former president that dehumanizes immigrants and disparages them in racial terms.

Trump made the comment during an interview with radio host Hugh Hewitt while criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris’s record on border security. Trump accused her of “allowing people to come through an open border, 13,000 of which were murderers” — repeating a claim that significantly distorts data recently released by the federal government.

“You know, now, a murderer, I believe this, it’s in their genes,” Trump said. “And we got a lot of bad genes in our country right now. They had 425,000 people come into our country that shouldn’t be here, that are criminals.”...
 
BUT........................ maybe he is right, after all..........................

For decades, they denied their German roots, claiming to be of Scandinavian origin.

................... Trump does stem from an immigration family, AND his genes are definitely bad ones.
 
This is rich coming from Trump. Talk about bad genes, have you ever taken a good look at him? I know he's older but there's some bad decisions in there too no doubt, like his longtime cocaine habit that really effed him up physically.
 
Sounds like he is just short of not letting people with bad genes propagate their bad genes with superior races. Isn't this why so many Red states actually made it illegal for races to mix. The Supreme Court made anti-miscegenation laws illegal in 1967. Of course we don't have a liberal court forcing it's anti Jesus message on us anymore so maybe they will overturn this as well.
It's interesting that Alabama didn't do away with their anti-miscegenation laws till 2000.

Hitler and his Nazis showed us how the "wrong" kind of ancestry - trump's "bad genes" - can be used to target, demonize, marginalize, isolate, disempower, and eradicate people the state decides are extremely expendable.
 
This latest "dog whistle" by Trump is among his most clearly racist comments. Trying to spin or deny this is delusional or most likely just plain dishonest. We all know who he is

That the usual suspects haven't shown up to try to whitewash trump's "bad genes" accusation says a lot.
 
Ok, for the sake of argument, let's overlook the obvious Nazi comparisons. You're still left with eugenics and the denigration of free will. It certainly puts the "poisoning the blood of the country" comments in a new light.
