Years after being heavily criticized for referring to migrants as "rapists," former President Donald Trump resurfaced the controversial comment while highlighting the "incompetence" of his successor's approach to the southern border.
Trump told Fox Business' Stuart Varney on Monday that "criminals," including "rapists and murderers and drug dealers" are taking advantage of the "totally open" border. His comments were reminiscent of a description he used in 2015, when he announced that he was running for president at Trump Tower in New York City.
At the time, he called America a "dumping ground for everybody else's problem," and honed in on the need to crack down on undocumented immigrants, a staple of his candidacy and presidency.
