Donald Trump recently alleged that immigrants with “bad genes” are predisposed towards committing heinous crimes like murder. During his Monday appearance on The Hugh Hewitt Show, the former president made the unsubstantiated claim that “13,000” convicted murderers have entered the United States illegally. The GOP nominee made the remark while calling out Kamala Harris' border policy.

“First of all, you have to let the private sector do it,” Trump went on, adding, “She [Harris] wants to go into government housing. She wants to go into government feeding. She wants to feed people. She wants to feed people governmentally. She wants she wants to go into a Communist Party-type system. When you look at the things that she proposes, they’re so far off. She has no clue.”

Trump then shifted the narrative towards immigrants, repeating a previous claim from his campaign. “How about allowing people to come to an open border, 13,000 of which were murderers, many of them murdered far more than one person, and they’re now happily living in the United States.” The former president went on to say, “Now, a murderer, I believe this — it’s in their genes.” “And we got a lot of bad genes in our country right now,” he added, per Politico.
