Funny... It's odd to see a pragerU/Bernie Sanders supporter. What a strange mix. Trump's statement about immigrants being rapists and "criminals" is cherry picked by the mainstream media and purposely taken out of context as is the usual practice of the media.
Here is the full quote... (quotes may vary depending on date of speech)........ "The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else's problems. It's true and these aren't the best and the finest. When Mexico sends it's people they're not sending their best. They're not sending you (pointing to supporters), they're not sending you. They're are sending people who have lots of problems. And they're bring those problems with them. They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime. They're are rapists and some I'm assuming are good people. But I speak to border guards and they tell us what we're getting. And it only makes common sense. They're sending us not the right people. It's coming from more than Mexico. It's coming from all over South and Latin America and it's coming probably from the middle east but we don't know because we don't have protection and we have no competence. We don't know what's happening and it's gotta stop. And it's gotta stop fast.
Those cages were built long before Trump came around. Also, I know for a fact that Obama was placing Southern migrants in cages as well. Obama is also known for being the president that deported the most immigrants in history. And finally, the reason we are getting a massive sudden influx of people migrating is due to countries to the south of us experiencing out of control gangs that are threatening and harassing people forcing them to migrate for their safety. This spike in gang activity is directly due to Bill Clinton's 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act which greatly strengthen previous legislation. This "tough on immigration act" sent legal and illegal immigrants out of the country for even the most minor offenses.
