“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best … 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.”
“You’re living in poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs, 58 percent of your youth is unemployed — what the hell do you have to lose?”
“Maybe he should have been roughed up, because it was absolutely disgusting what he was doing.”
“[I am] calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.”
