Quote:However, this is another case of people looking to be offended. He was talking about illegal immigration, and yes, there are a lot of bad and undesirable people who illegally enter this country through the Mexican border. While 99% of the people who immigrate legally from Mexico end up being fine citizens, the same can't be said about the illegal crossers. For one, theyve already broken the law, but taking that and putting it aside, the numbers are much, much worse for this group of people. Is it a majority of the illegals or even close? No. But if you are talking about 15 percent of millions of people per year, then there is a very real issue and Trump is right.

 

While people are certainly over-offended at his remarks - you are grossly understating what he said and how he said it.  Presidential candidates that aren't a laughing stock don't make statements that have entire political parties scrambling to distance themselves  - while simultaneously offending millions.  He could have made his point without being an idiot about it..... if he weren't a complete idiot.
