In the wake of the deadly Washington DC shooting, Trump claimed immigrants are ‘destroying everything America stands for’. Here’s what the data shows

    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.

    “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.
