Foreigners in the United States are illegal aliens raping innocent American women and going on killing sprees all over the country, President Donald Trump said in his hate-filled State of the Union Address that was ripped up by Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Trump who has been impeached by the House of Representatives on high crimes and misdemeanors, used his national platform to paint immigrants as killers, rapists, criminals who were coming to the United States to spread terror and horror.
His speech certainly gave more ammunition to white nationalists all over the country to hate and harm immigrants.
He also gave a national honor to Rush Limbaugh, the conservative talkshow host known for his explosive hate-filled programs against immigrants.
Although Mr. Trump tried to portray immigrants as deadly criminals, most crimes in the United States are perpetrated by Americans who have never traveled outside.
Mr. Trump who recently scapegoated almost a quarter of the African populations read the number of ‘horrible’ crimes immigrants have perpetrated in the United States in an attempt to draw emotion and weaponize hatred against them about 10 months to an election polls say he would lose.
