New arrivals came in and they were all made recruits of each other, and they fought with each other, and then they fought outside of each other. And it got worse and worse, and we've turned that back.
In the three years before I took office, more than 150,000 unaccompanied alien minors arrived at the border and were released all throughout our country into United States’ communities -- at a tremendous monetary cost to local taxpayers and also a great cost to life and safety.
Nearly 4,000 from this wave were released into Suffolk County -- congratulations -- including seven who are now indicted for murder. You know about that.
In Washington, D.C. region, at least 42 alien minors from the border surge have been recently implicated in MS-13-related violence, including 19 charged in killings or attempted killings.
You say, what happened to the old days where people came into this country, they worked and they worked and they worked, and they had families, and they paid taxes, and they did all sorts of things, and their families got stronger, and they were closely knit? We don't see that.
Failure to enforce our immigration laws had predictable results: drugs, gangs and violence. But that’s all changing now.
And Mexicans
Thank you. It's true, and these are the best and the finest. When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.
Are you claiming that he is not trying to spin opinion?

"This MS13 quote?"
No, that wasn't it. He was talking about immigrants in general, then he honed in on MS13 and called them animals, and many outlets reported that he referred to all Mexicans as "animals".
"Are you claiming that he is not trying to spin opinion"
Of course he was spinning an opinion, and I'll concede that his opinion would probably disqualify him to ever be the US ambassador to Mexico. But he obviously wasn't bashing all of them. By and large, Mexico isn't exporting their best engineers, scientists, and business people to the US.
You are trying to spin every utterance into somehting for more sinister than it is. That's exactly what I'm talking about.
He's not a good man, not even close. But he's not what the media is portraying him as, either. Not only is it what they're doing dishonest, these liberals are still too stupid to see that it helps him. You can fill the Pacific Ocean with valid criticism of the guy, why do you need to fabricate stuff, especially when that has the opposite effect you seek? I don't get it.
When Michelle Obama said that she wasn't proud of this country until Barack got the nomination, liberals spent weeks defending her, saying, "well yes she said that, but what she really meant was..."
Can't have it both ways.
