"No, but we’ve had a lot of problems with Afghans because they had a lot of them coming in on these planes."
In a Thursday night press conference, President Donald Trump expressed concern over Afghan people that came to the US amid the Biden administration’s disasterous withdrawal from Afghanistan, saying that "there was no checking." This comes after an Afghan national who came to the US during the 2021 refugee operation has been charged with shooting two National Guard members in DC, one of whom has died from her injuries.
A reporter asked Trump, "do you blame all Afghans for this one man?"
"No, but we’ve had a lot of problems with Afghans because they had a lot of them coming in on these planes," Trump replied, later adding, "We had a lot of them coming in on these planes that are—there was no checking. They just poured into the plane. And many of these people are criminals. Many of these people are people that shouldn’t be here."
He said that his administration has "gotten out some, a lot of the people that, you know, we’ve taken out a lot of them outta here, but they came in."
When the reporter said, "but many of them are here legally," Trump replied, "yeah I know this is the old story. Many are wonder, yeah I’m sure."
Trump was asked what those who are here legally should think, to which Trump replied, "well, they can’t be happy. Okay, they can't be happy because what's taking place between that, if you look at Somalia, they're taking over Minnesota, and they are. We got a lot of problems with the gangs, with all of the things taking place in Minnesota, we have an incompetent governor, a dope, we have a dope governor."
"They can't be happy about what's going on. And if you talk about the Afghans, you know there's a problem, because so many bad ones came in on the planes. They just walked on. Whoever the strongest people were physically in a way, but whoever the strongest they got on the planes. There was no checking. They just swamped the planes, they took off. We had no idea who, who they were."
In the wake of Wednesday's shooting, for which 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal has been arrested, Trump announced that "I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover, terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions, including those signed by Sleepy Joe Biden’s Autopen, and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country."Powered by The Post Millennial CMS™ Comments
