Donald Trump Claims Illegal Immigrants Bring 'Bad Genes' to US

In a recent interview, Donald Trump claimed that illegal immigrants contribute 'bad genes' to the United States, referencing 13,000 immigrants with homicide convictions living outside detention. He misinterpreted ICE data spanning decades and including cases from his presidency. Trump's ongoing campaign attacks immigrants while facing close polling against Kamala Harris for the upcoming election.

In a radio interview with conservative host Hugh Hewitt, former President Donald Trump asserted that illegal immigrants were bringing 'bad genes' into the United States, referencing 13,000 immigrants reportedly living in the country despite having homicide convictions.

Trump attributed a genetic nature to criminal behavior, a claim misrepresenting data released by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

This data, spanning decades, includes individuals outside of ICE facilities and was partially collected during Trump's presidency.

While Trump leads a campaign with aggressive rhetoric against immigrants, conservative commentator Richard Hanania highlighted the genetic nature of crime but criticized Trump's misrepresentation.

Additionally, Trump is tied with Vice President Kamala Harris in polling for the upcoming election.
