This "migrant crime wave" thing is something that Trump and FOX News came up with. The truth is that crime has actually GONE DOWN the last couple of years (including migrant crime). Look it up if you don't believe me, but if you don't want to look it up here are sources backing this up:

Well done. DJT and his supporters only believe in Fear of "Others".

Kamala's entire campaign is based on "fear of Trump". She is thoroughly unimpressive as a candidate. You are making a massive mistake in supporting her.

We already put him in charge once, and it turned out quite well.

“You’re obviously not a woman”

Copy that. Let’s make sure women are included in the next draft since they vote now. Also, I thought men can get pregnant in 2024? Men have a say in abortion as much as biological women do.

What is the exact quote that Trump said about a "migrant crime wave"?

You mean he HASN'T been mentioning the illegals murdering people left and right throughout his campaign?

Wait, there has not been a single illegal doing any crime in the US?

And if you say so, you're a racist!

He's only talking about people who make the news. It's not like he's making any of it up.

I remember the good old days, when, if people got killed, folks didn't try to minimize it.

Depends on the bias of the source.
