President Trump Refuses to Back Down on Illegal Immigration "Invasion" Rhetoric From Gateway Pundit: Q Mr. President, do you still believe that illegal immigration into this country is an invasion? You and the shooter in El Paso used that same language. Do you regret that? THE PRESIDENT: I think that illegal immigration — you’re talking about illegal immigration, right? Yeah? I think illegal immigration is a terrible thing for this country. I think you have to come in legally. Ideally, you have to come in through merit. We need people coming in because we have many companies coming into our country. They’re pouring in. And I think illegal immigration is a very bad thing for our country. I think open borders are a very bad thing for our country. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2019/08/president-trump-refuses-to-back-down-on-illegal-immigration-invasion-rhetoric/
