Former President Donald Trump, a Republican presidential candidate in the U.S., has claimed that immigrants cause violent crimes because of bad genes in criticizing the Biden-Harris administration's border policy.
Former President Trump said in an interview with conservative radio Hugh Hewitt Show on the 7th local time, "We are allowing people to come in through open borders, and 13,000 of them were murderers."
Many of them have killed more than one person, but they are now living happily in the United States, he said. "The killer has that gene, and now there are many bad genes around us."
"There are 425,000 people in the United States, which should not be in the United States," he said, criticizing them as "criminals."
Earlier, during a debate on the 10th of last month, former President Trump made a groundless claim that Haitian immigrants legally staying in Springfield, Ohio, eat dogs and cats from their neighbors.
At the end of last year, he was strongly criticized for comparing immigrants as "pest" and "immigrants pollute the blood of the United States" in mentioning a hardline response to illegal immigration.
