Trump stokes fear about migrants driving up crime rate, despite data debunking that

Summary

67% Informative

Ruben Navarrette : Trump is still peddling the same old lies about why people come to the U.S. illegally.

He says studies debunk the notion that migrants drive up our crime rate.

He said Republicans killed a bipartisan border security deal when Trump demanded it be bipartisan.

Trump is playing to his Republican base when he portrays migrants as predators, he says.

Is fearmongering the only tactic Trump has in this campaign? Trump is trying to exploit a perception among the electorate that crumbles when contrasted with the available empirical evidence.

He has linked those issues crime and immigration because he only has fear to offer to American voters.

He's already shown us that he sees solutions as worthless if they don't benefit him.
