Donald Trump is doubling down on arguments that immigration — both legal and illegal — are endangering national security in the wake of a mass shooting at an Orlando, Fla., nightclub that appeared targeted at gay people and left 50 dead.Aren't we all stocked up on Third World migrants?
Trump is set to deliver a speech Monday on national security that is expected to use the worst mass shooting in U.S. history as its centerpiece.
Trump previewed his arguments as the nation was coming to grips with the killings, arguing President Obama should not be in office if he cannot acknowledge a war against radical Islamic terrorism, while simultaneously arguing that legal immigrants are making American less safe.
“We admit more than 100,000 lifetime migrants from the Middle East each year. Since 9/11, hundreds of migrants and their children have been implicated in terrorism in the United States," Trump said in his statement.
