PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: Former President Donald Trump stated that immigrants are bringing "a new form of crime" to the United States, all thanks to President Joe Biden.

According to Mediaite, the 2024 presumptive GOP presidential nominee called into Monday's ‘Hannity’ show on Fox News, where he criticized President Biden for his handling of the southern border and immigration policy at large.

The United States’ southern border was a focal point of the 78-year-old MAGA strongman's 2016 presidential campaign and is once again becoming a pertinent issue leading up to the November general election.

Earlier this year, Trump rejected a bipartisan immigration bill because he wanted to keep reminding his voter base of the southern border in order to rally against the 81-year-old incumbent.

What did Donald Trump say during his telephone conversation on ‘Hannity’?

“As we say now, every new state is a border state,” the 45th President of the United States told host Sean Hannity. “Whether it’s Idaho Iowa or Ohio, it doesn’t make any difference. They’re all border states because they’re all pouring through our country.”

Furthermore, former President Trump falsely claimed that the Biden administration is “flying tens of thousands of people into our country.”

The former POTUS then went on to say that the Biden administration and immigrants had joined forces to create "a new form of crime."

“And if you look at it Venezuela, their crime is down 72%. Their crime– think of it. Down the 72 and ours is up. And we’re gonna have a new form of crime because these people are just getting comfortable. They’re just getting settled in. We’re gonna have a new form of crime and it’s called Biden migrant crime. And that’s– it’s a new category,” he said.

“And it’s a very serious category, and it might blow all of our crime out of the window because frankly, you could probably double– when I tell you those numbers in Chicago where 17 people dying this weekend, think of it, over a weekend, over a three-day period, four-day period, you had over 100 people shot and 17 people dead. And that probably doesn’t include the migrants, although I guarantee you there was some of that in there too,” Trump remarked.

The ex-Commander-in-Chief stated, “We have a new form, it’s a new category, and it’s gonna be very, very serious for a long time to come. And we have to get them out of our country. We don’t want them out. They drop them out of their jails and prisons. We don’t want them in our country. It’s not sustainable by any country.”

Internet slams Donald Trump for saying immigrants are bringing a 'new form of crime' to US

People online derided the former President for suggesting that immigrants are bringing “a new form of crime” to the United States largely due to President Joe Biden's border and immigration policies.

One person commented, "A convicted felon lecturing us on crime. Hahahahahahahahahahhahahaha!!!!"

Another person quipped, "Convicted Felon Trump is a one manchild crime wave." [sic]

A person claimed, "Trump torpedoed the bipartisan border bill precisely because he knew it would help the border. He flat out said it. He doesn't care about Americans, he just wants to win. Trump is a sociopath." [sic]

One person remarked, "Trump should start by deporting his wife and her family."

Another person said, "We have a new form of crime because idiots across America elected a lifelong conman and criminal into office in 2016." 

Finally, this person wrote, "trump is a new form of crime....a convicted felon ex-president....never happen before...." [sic]
