President Donald Trump on Monday criticized Democratic lawmakers who are against his proposed border wall, saying they are “people that don’t mind crime.”

The president delivered his criticism during an event at the White House saluting members of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and Customs and Border Protection. Several Republican officials attended, including Sen. David Perdue of Georgia and Gov. Doug Ducey of Arizona.

“Sadly, in recent months — incredibly, I have to say, incredibly,” Trump said, “a coalition of open-borders extremists — and to me that means crime, people that don’t mind crime — they’ve waged an unprecedented assault on American law enforcement, our greatest people, threatening ICE and Border Patrol for performing their duties admirably and for defending our country from horrible people and horrible, horrible events and crimes.”

Democrats have opposed Trump’s plans for a border wall, which he has advocated since the inception of his campaign. Last year, California’s attorney general, Xavier Becerra, filed a lawsuit to try to stop the proposal to expedite construction of a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, saying it would violate laws aimed at protecting the environment.

1. Actually, people that don't mind crime are some of your biggest supporters.

[forgotmylogin]

17. If we didn't "mind crime" he wouldn't be in the pickle he's in.

[sinkingfeeling]

2. Yep, those kids under 12 are really horrible people. Especially those under 5.

[Jedi Guy]

10. Yeah, we can't have those children here.

They'll be stealing Pokemon from American kids, not to mention getting amped up on sugar and going on crime sprees.

3. How many trump people been charged?pled guilty?..,what a hoot

[lordsummerisle]

4. Said without a trace of irony n/t

[Sugar Smack]

5. God, I'm sick of him.

[Snellius]

6. Is this news? He's been weaving this web of lies for months.

Dems don't want wall because they want MS-13 Mexicans with their MS-13 babies to infest white America with crime, drugs and general non-whiteness.

[truthisfreedom]

7. We mind crime. We've got Mueller looking into it.

He’s already uncovered a lot of it.

[Initech]

8. Shut the fuck up Donny.

[murielm99]

9. Open borders extremists....

We have never wanted open borders.

STFU, orange mess.

[Dave Starsky]

11. 100% of the Democrats I associate with hate crime.

And we ALL, every woman and man, consider Donald Trump to be the most prominent criminal in this nation, maybe even in world history.

There is an enormous, unfathomable difference between the person who steals a slice of pizza from a convenience store to eat for the day and another person who makes a deal with an adversary country to relieve some of that person's debts if they just do what that country wants.

[liberal N proud]

12. From the biggest crook come the biggest lies

[C_U_L8R]

13. We do mind trillion dollar boondoggles

especially ones as racist and dumb as Trump's wall.
Dumbest dumb idea ever conceived.

14. You are so wrong pretend president, Dems do hate crime -

and they are investigating the many crimes you and your cabal have committed, up to and including treason. Immigration is the only crime for which you actually do care, fraud, cheating, money laundering, assault, rape of a child, kidnapping & torture of children, lying under oath, conspiracy with a foreign country to ensure you stole the office - all of these are crimes you personally have committed and should be in jail for this very minute. Your repugs are letting the crime wave happen to America because you and your master, PUtin have demanded this and they are craven cowards.

[Liberalagogo]

15. So says the fat pig-fucking criminal.

n/t

[pazzyanne]

16. Declaring war on young children is against International Law.

tRump cannot see the crime in the White House and his own family. Who is he to decide who is on the right side of this debate. Disgusting POS!
