Here's the quote in full:
Do any of you disagree with that?
It's a big fat strawman, a favorite of the post-Bush daily show. They need easy targets to mock or argue against as the audience cheers them on.
Most Trump supporters I've seen want to take this country off what they see as a dangerous path fueled by political correctness. Like as Trump argued last night, letting criminals out of jail because they're illegal immigrants. That's very different from "take this country back from the browns and give it to the whites"
"Letting criminals out of jail because they're illegal immigrants"?!?
Do explain.
Over the years, there have been illegal aliens who have been arrested on criminal charges. Law Enforcement has not routinely checked out issues of immigration status on arrestees, and not every illegal immigrant has an active ICE Warrant to be deported. Not every illegal immigrant with an ICE Warrant is taken into custody; some are not taken into custody because they have children who are not deportable, so their cases languish. Some of these folks do, in fact, bond out of jail, then go on to commit more serious offenses.
Being an "illegal alien" is not a crime, in and of itself. An illegal alien will not automatically be detained if arrested unless there is some kind of ICE Detainer or Warrant, or if there is a Warrant for the alien having re-entered the US after being deported. (It IS a felony for a deported alien to re-enter the US after deportation.)
In this context, think of the outrageousness of "Sanctuary Cities". The officials of these cities have taken oaths to uphold laws, but they are now acting to not enforce laws, including valid, lawful detainers and warrants for the arrest of folks with no lawful authorization to be in the United States. If we are going to give THESE people a free pass for ignoring laws, then we need to apologize to Ollie North and Scooter Libby.
You understand that none of what you said there describes "Letting criminals out of jail because they're illegal immigrants," right?
