Trump just gave a bigoted hate speech using the same xenophobic language as white terrorists




Before signing the veto, he repeated his warnings of an "invasion" of illegal immigrants and a detention system that is "bursting at the seam." He said the Democrat-sponsored resolution that would have blocked the national emergency "threatens" American security, and he called it a "reckless resolution." The resolution passed the Senate on Thursday and the House last week.

"People hate the word 'invasion,' but that's what it is," Mr. Trump said about the influx of immigrants at the southern border. He spoke just hours after an act of terrorism in New Zealand, a mass shooting that targeted Muslims at mosques and resulted in the deaths of 49 people. A suspect in the shooting had written a white supremacist manifesto referencing "white genocide" driven by "mass immigration" and accusing Muslims of invading the country.

-------------

Mr. Trump said that he did not see a rise in white nationalism across the world, saying that it was "a small group of people" who perpetrated these attacks. He added that he did not see the manifesto.
