Is Donald Trump still wrong even when he said "...And some, I assume, are good people.” as part of his illegal immigration statement?

Here's Donald Trump's complete statement:

“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.”

Again, here's the qualifier:

"And some, I assume, are good people.”

So, is Donald Trump still wrong?

    The Mexican government does not stop anyone from crossing into this country from Mexico.

    Its officials berate us when we try to stop them.

    It even published a pamphlet giving people instructions on crossing the border and living here illegally, yet people argue that it does not "send" them.

    Of course it does. If all those people stayed in Mexico they would be a problem the Mexican government would have to deal with, and the Mexican economy would be out roughly 23 billion dollars a year.

    Some of the people coming here are very nice, hard-working people. A lot of them are not.

    We need to be able to decide who comes here and exclude the people who are a detriment to our country. Right now we can't.

    Actually READ the statement. First, "Mexico" doesn't SEND people at all.

    Uh, they aren't sending people who are here? Well, DEE!

    Anyway, it's a lie that everyone coming here has "lots of problems" -- they have poverty as their problem. They solve that problem by working here, doing things no one else will do for little pay.

    It's a lie all immigrants bring drugs; the vast majority do not. Most drug sellers here were BORN here.

    It's a lie they all bring crime. Undocumented people are LESS likely to commit crime than citizens and legal residents.

    It's a lie they are all rapists.

    And notice, he says he ASSUMES? So he's pretty sure they are all drug selling rapists, but MAYBE a FEW aren't?

    He isn't human. There is nothing about him even remotely human. He's a vile monstrosity.

    Yes, he's still wrong. A guy with a MBA should know how to accurately define a problem and he's said Mexico is willingly sending us criminals. Trump is a fruitcake.

  • Donald Trump has many thoughts, some, I assume, aren't racist or crazy.

    I think he is wrong in saying Mexico is sending those people.

    The people he is talking about, I agree with him, the bad will come through with the good.

    He could of said it better. For a high average College Grad, he does not have a commanding control of English.

    I agree with Mr. Trump 100%. But, how can there be good people who violate our laws, by crossing borders illegally?

    The bases for the statement is wrong at it's root. Mexico does not send anyone here . Mexicans come to feed their families because American businesses are willing to employ illegal aliens. If they came and no American business employed them... they wouldn't stay and they wouldn't keep coming. We bring them. Mexico does not send them.

    Check that standard number of known immigrants in the US as a percentage of the population - check the percentage of prisoners who are immigrants - it will be higher that the first figure - maybe Mr Trump is correct

    Yes. He states wild exaggerations as though they were facts and he states something that anyone who knows any undocumented immigrants realizes is a fact as though it "might" be true or is something he has to assume.
