Quote of the Day

“Somalians ripped off that state for billions of dollars, billions every year, billions of dollars. And they contribute nothing. The welfare is like 88 percent. They contribute nothing. I don’t want them in our country. I’ll be honest with you, okay? ... Somebody said, ‘Oh, that’s not politically correct.’ I don’t care. I don’t want them in our country. Their country’s no good for a reason. Their country stinks, and we don’t want them in our country ... You know, our country is at a tipping point … We could go one way or the other, and we’re going to go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country ... lhan Omar is garbage. She’s garbage. Her friends are garbage.”
President Donald Trump (R)
Trump’s quote is a xenophobic attack on Somali immigrants and Rep. Ilhan Omar. He falsely blames them for massive welfare fraud, says they “contribute nothing,” and calls them “garbage,” using dehumanizing rhetoric meant to justify exclusion and fear.
