You admit that 80% of the women crossing are raped, but instead of saying well he somewhat misspoke, you say, "I don't know why any intelligent adult would defend his statements in the slightest."
Why are we not allowed to talk about the illegals staggering violence against women?
Many criminal gangs appear to use sexual violence as part of the “price” demanded of migrants. According to some experts, the prevalence of rape is such that people smugglers may require women to have a contraceptive injection prior to the journey as a precaution.
Detective Gabriel García, a prosecutor and investigator based in Huixtla, Chiapas, says certain parts of the migrant trail are hot spots for assault.
One of these spots is La Arrocera, where rape is so common women and teens plan for it, García says.

Consider this. Trump understands how to manage on a large scale and be successful. That means hiring the RIGHT people for the job and holding them accountable. He's done this for a long time. No one can argue this.

Considering illegal immigrants account for between 30 and 40% of the prison system, how wrong was he?

Well let's start with racism. What has Donald Trump ever done or said that is racist?
He said Mexicans were rapists...and assumed some were nice people. I can see why some would say that is racist.
There is also this:
When Trump was serving as the president of his family’s real estate company, the Trump Management Corporation, in 1973, the Justice Department sued the company for alleged racial discrimination against black people looking to rent apartments in Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island. The lawsuit charged that the company quoted different rental terms and conditions to black rental candidates than it did with white candidates, and that the company lied to black applicants about apartments not being available. Trump called those accusations “absolutely ridiculous” and sued the Justice Department for $100 million in damages for defamation. Without admitting wrongdoing, the Trump Management Corporation settled the original lawsuit two years later and promised not to discriminate against black people, Puerto Ricans or other minorities. Trump also agreed to send weekly vacancy lists for his 15,000 apartments to the New York Urban League, a civil rights group, and to allow the NYUL to present qualified applicants for vacancies in certain Trump properties. Just three years after that, the Justice Department sued the Trump Management Corporation again for allegedly discriminating against black applicants by telling them apartments weren’t available.

I would just like to point out that Trump didn't personally support those charities, his foundation did. His foundation takes donations from people and corporations all over the world, Trump isn't even the biggest supporter of his own foundation. So, I agree that his foundation has done some real good but to attribute that to Trump himself doesn't really pass muster, IMHO.
I think last I heard Trump had donated 3 million dollars to his foundation, making him the least charitable billionare that i'm aware of . If my math is right, 3.5 million out of 7 billion is .05% of his personal fortune. So its all a matter of point-of-view. 3.5 million is a lot, make no mistake, and probably did many people a lot of good... but if you see a man in a suit walk up to a homeless man, pull out his wallet filled with hundreds and drop a nickel in his cup that person isn't charitable, he just wants to look like it.

When you say people are rapists, and assume SOME of them are good people, some people will interpret that as being racist.
You calling them stupid for doing so says more about you than it does them.
Just saying...
I believe he was talking about the people coming here illegally from Mexico.
Even the left leaning Huffington Post says 80% of the women crossing illegally are raped on the way, so perhaps he has a point.

Perhaps he does, but that does not negate the fact that people will find his comments racist.

Isn't Hillary's husband an ACTUAL serial rapist? Can we say Hillary is a sexist for supporting him all these years?
I'm mean if Donald's a racist by your standards, then we can at least agree that Hillary's husband is a dangerous sexual predator who she stood by

Just an observation:
For those who steadfastly promulgate that Trump is a racist because they say he said ALL illegal Mexicans in the U.S. are rapists...a large portion of those Mexicans are women and children.
Do you honestly believe he was referring to THEM being rapists?
Use your head...or take it out of your...

No. I believe, according to CNN's Carol Costello, the proper media term for Bill Clinton's sexual predator proclivities is now "Naughtiness".
It's absolutely idiotic that anytime Elizabeth Warren's name comes up we get the circle jerk about her maybe/maybe not Indigenous ancestry. She never knowing lied about it and if it's a lie it's one that her and her mother's generation grew up being told and believing.
