Contributing sentiments towards policy:
50% : Nor were they all immigrants who arrived during the Biden administration; many were here under Trump, too.50% : "I think Israel has to do one thing: They have to get smart about Trump," he said in the interview.
50% : But Trump replied that they "should be 100 percent.
46% : Unchallenged by Hewitt, Trump continued on the subject.
41% : That data indicated that there were about 13,000 immigrants who had committed murder but were not in custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
34% : Speaking to Hewitt, for example, Trump appeared to conflate "Jewish Americans" with "Israel" -- as he has in the past.
32% : With a mish-mash of false claims about crime and ridiculous race science, Trump makes explicit the racism at the heart of his politics.
30% : But such inconsistencies aren't important to Trump because the "genetics" thing isn't based on evidence or science.
29% : Trump has a track record of dehumanizing immigrants, repeatedly referring to immigrants who commit crimes as "animals," for example.
18% : Reinforcing that he was talking about the "bad genes" of immigrants, Trump offered up more false claims based on the ICE data.
11% : Hewitt, rather than contesting Trump's genetic argument, shifted the conversation with no apparent irony to the federal criminal charges Trump himself faces.
10% : The comment came as Trump was disparaging his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris.
4% : Immigrants to the United States -- like the Haitian immigrants now living legally in Ohio who were the target of lies by Trump and his running mate last month -- are the ones who escaped the cycle of suffering that Trump referenced with his coal-miner example.
