‘Bad Genes’: Donald Trump sparks uproar over more anti-immigrant rhetoric

US Presidential candidate and Republican Donald Trump is facing the heat with the anti immigration rhetoric claiming there are thousands of migrants with murder charges upon them spreading bad genes in the USA.

The comments from the former US president came during a radio interview with Conservative commentator Hugh Hewitt on Monday while making a blast of the immigration policies of his Democratic rival VP Kamala Harris.

He stated 13000 unregistered immigrants have crossed the US’s open borders and were happily living in the country. Trump’s claims vary from the data set of institutions such as US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) agency, drawing swift condemnation from the White House.

According to Trump critics, he has been scapegoating immigrants for a long time and has a history of tapping into racial prejudices. US ambassador and political analyst Micheal McFaul compared Trump’s actions to as “Echoes of Nazi Germany”. 

Data unveiled by ICE in September showed there were 13099 people with homicide convictions on the portal of the institutions. The majority of them are not in free state, they are detained in the prisons of the States or are in bail within the States.

Demonising Migrants

Trump and Harris have always been in a neck to neck battle in key states with their campaigns in full swing for the November Presidential election. The former has always resorted to launching verbal attacks on his opposition along with abusing immigrants who have come into the States both legally and otherwise.

During a rally, the 78 years old stated that VP Harris should be prosecuted over the White House policies and called undocumented immigrants “animals” out to rape, pillage, thieve, plunder and kill.
