Note that this Trump (mis)quote is in response to asking where Thiel says anything that supports bigotry.


Corrected now, unless I didn't hear right when he refers to Mexico sending people over and then "they are rapists" perhaps his subject changed and he was referring to Aliens?


He is, at least technically, making a more sophisticated argument. I'll rephrase it to make that reading clear:

"Like all countries, Mexico has both great people and rapists/murderers. Unfortunately, the latter group is overrepresented among those illegally in this country."

That's (technically) the point he's making, and it's (technically) not racist.


Can you refute the statistical assertion Trump is making in that statement?
