[グリーンベイ（米ウィスコンシン州）２日 ロイター] – Former US President Trump on the 2nd described illegal immigrants to the US as “animals, not human beings.”
In a speech in Michigan, he listed crimes for which illegal immigrants are suspected and warned that violence and chaos would engulf the United States unless he won the November 5 presidential election.
“Democrats say don’t call them animals because they’re human beings,” Trump said. “And I said, no, they’re not human beings, they’re animals.”
The title of his speech, “Biden’s Mass Murder at the Border.”
In his speech, he also said he had met the family of a 25-year-old woman in the state who was allegedly killed by an illegal immigrant she loved. However, one of Trump’s family members told a local TV station that they were shocked by Trump’s comments, noting that “no one has spoken to him.”
In his speeches, he has often said that illegal immigrants crossing the border from Mexico are escaping their own country’s prisons and detention centers and increasing violent crime in the United States.
Data on crimes committed by immigrants is scarce, but researchers note that illegal residents of the United States do not have a higher rate of violent crime than native-born residents.
Trump also spoke in Wisconsin, arguing that November’s presidential election could be the last in the country.
“If we don’t win, that’s the end of this country. I heard someone say a few days ago, if we don’t win, this will be the last election in America, and maybe it’s true.”
Michigan and Wisconsin are battleground states that will determine the outcome of the presidential election.
