Donald Trump's hateful, falsehood-filled rant on Thursday blaming immigrants for crime, "social dysfunction" and economic hardship is refuted by a wide range of immigration statistics, which show clearly that immigrants dramatically bolster the US economy and commit crimes at far lower rates than people born in the US.

"Trump’s hate-filled rant ignores facts on immigrant crime and economic benefits"

Join us tomorrow when we report the headline: "The war on drugs not having desired effect in reducing crime or drug use"

Oh. Are we not reporting obvious things as news? I thought that's what this was.

If it's just hate filled bigotry, why us it posted here?

I'm tired off all the shenanigans to occupy the news cycle by this buffoon.

I feel like you could've posted this headline at any point after his first bid for presidency (and probably before, if we're being honest) and it would be accurate.
