Name Calling
“We have people coming into the country — or trying to come in, we’re stopping a lot of them — but we’re taking people out of the country, you wouldn’t believe how bad these people are. These aren’t people. These are animals,” Trump said.
Since taking office Trump was adamant about sending immigrants from the U.S. He was intent on carrying out that promise and put measures in place to do so.
However he was meeting some resistance and this was making him angry. This name calling wasn’t first time for Trump, he had done similar things in the past.
He also tried reaching out to the very people he was adamant on deporting.
Trump said, “I can tell you this, and I say this to DACA recipients, that the Republicans are with you. They want to get your situation taken care of. The Democrats fought us. But I do want the Hispanic community to know and DACA recipients to know that Republicans are much more on your side than the Democrats, who are using you for their own purposes.”
Trump had been very controversial in his dealing with immigrants. Yet he tried to make the Republican Party look good in the eyes of those he was trying to deport.
It was evident that immigrants were safe due to rulings from the Supreme Court. So to hear the President talk this way was certainly surprising.
