Trump tells white Fox News host that immigrants who should be barred from US don't have 'your genetics'

President Donald Trump told “Fox & Friends” host Brian Kilmeade, who is white, that immigrants do not have “your genetics” during a Friday phone interview on immigration. He paired the statement with claims that migrants entering the U.S. are criminals and should be barred. By linking criminal behavior to biology, Trump's comments suggested a fundamental racial distinction between migrants and white Americans.

Trump’s eugenics language

Trump made the remarks while responding to questions about violent incidents involving individuals identified as Muslim, arguing that some “shouldn’t have been let in” while others “go bad.” He said, “They’re sick people, and a lot of them were let in here. They shouldn’t have been let in,” before adding, “Others are just bad. They go bad. Something wrong — there’s something wrong there.”

He then attributed that behavior to biology, saying, “The genetics are not exactly your genetics, it’s one of those problems, Brian. It’s a terrible thing, and it happens, it happens too often,” linking criminality to inherited traits rather than individual actions or circumstances.

The language reflects a core idea associated with eugenics, the long-debunked belief that social outcomes such as crime or behavior are determined by genetics and differ across groups. That framework has historically informed exclusionary immigration policies and was a defining feature of Nazi racial ideology under Adolf Hitler, where hereditary difference was used to justify hierarchy and exclusion.

Does Kilmeade's genetics have anything to do with his stupidity?

2. From Wikipedia:

On July 8, 2009, Kilmeade and two co-hosts were discussing a study that, based on research done in Finland and Sweden, showed people who stay married are less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease. Kilmeade, whose paternal grandfather was Irish, commented, "[In the United States] we keep marrying other species and other ethnics." Ignoring attempts by co-host Gretchen Carlson (who is of Swedish descent) to interrupt him, he added, "See, the problem is the Swedes have pure genes. Because they marry other Swedes... Finns marry other Finns, so they have a pure society. In America we marry everybody, we marry Italians and Irish."

Obviously Kilmeade knows nothing about Sweden and Finland, but I wonder if he even had a junior high school biology class.
