Trump Asked About His Post Blaming Islam, 'Out Of Control Mass Migration' For Protests In France

Mr. President, we've been seeing chaos play out in France. You posted online what's happening in France is out of control, mass migration. Could that happen here in the United States? Well, we stopped it. We had the worst, you could call it, migration. But we had 25 million people pour into our country illegally. They should not have been allowed. And they were from places you don't want to know about, and they committed, many of them, very, very bad crimes. There were drug dealers. There were many prisons released into our country, where countries like Venezuela and others would release 100 percent of their prisoners, and they'd bus them over to our border, and they'd just walk into our country. This is what we had. Twenty-five million. We've gotten most of them out. We've gotten the bad one, the worst of the worst, as we call them. We've gotten them out. But that was a terrible thing. It was a — that something like that could be allowed to happen. And now we have a totally — we went from the worst border in the country's history to the best. We've had, as you know, the people that make the list are bureaucrat people. I don't know. They're Democrats, Republicans. But for the last 17 months, zero people have crossed the border. Now, it's almost impossible to believe, but we've had zero people illegally coming into our country from the border. So we went from the worst border in the history — I think of the world. I don't think there's any country — third-world country. I don't care — where 25 million people could cross. But we had 25 million people come in, and now we have nobody coming in, except if they come in legally. They do come in legally. They have to go and take tests and all that. They have to show they can love our country. But you see the numbers. They come out. We just had the next — last month, and it was zero. So 17 months in a row, zero. The caravans are no longer. We had caravans of people — 25,000, 30,000 people in a caravan coming up from various South American countries. But it was really from the world that just formed. And they'd walk right into our country. And we didn't know if they were good or they were bad. Many were very bad people.
