Former President Trump divided immigrants into “good and bad”

Former President Trump always openly expressed his dissatisfaction with the immigration system and the way in which foreigners “take advantage” of current alternatives to reside and work in the US, becoming, in his opinion, a burden on the economy, the federal government and taxpayers.

Trump’s rhetoric regarding immigration undoubtedly generated a gigantic impact on the American population. The former president stated on several occasions that the presence of immigrants increased the crime rate and even called them “murderers and rapists,” an extremely delicate accusation that sparked a colossal social controversy.

In fact, a survey conducted in August 2020 reveals that 42% of respondents still associate immigration with crime, and the Trump administration contributed to this misconception growing among local citizens.

However, when former President Trump commented on immigration, he almost never cited reliable or verifiable sources, indicating that those conjectures were merely a personal opinion and, therefore, can be refuted through studies, investigations and official figures.

For instance, in December 2020, the results of a comprehensive investigation reveal that the presence of immigrants does not increase the crime rate in the US, contradicting Trump’s comments regarding immigration.

Experts say Trump’s rhetoric increased discrimination

According to a recent report by NBC News, several experts say that Trump’s comments regarding immigration increased discrimination and social division between the American population and immigrants currently residing in the US.

In fact, they state that the former president was so insistent on the idea of ​​“good immigrants and bad immigrants” that discrimination grew even within immigrant communities.

Adding to that, President Trump made negative comments, on multiple occasions, about vulnerable populations such as asylum seekers and refugees, who urgently need international protection. This also generated rejection by the American population towards these communities in need of assistance and cooperation.
