"Trump's Controversial Stance on Migrants Sparks Outrage and Debate"
TL;DR
During a campaign rally near Dayton, Ohio, Donald Trump dehumanized immigrants by referring to some crossing the border as "animals" or not even "people," and baselessly claimed that foreign leaders were offloading their prison populations at the southern U.S. border. Despite repeated studies showing that increased populations of undocumented immigrants are generally associated with decreases in violent crime, Trump doubled down on his claims during a Sunday appearance on Fox News, asserting that the "country is being poisoned" by migrants.
