Cop-Killer At Center Of Trump’s Racist Immigration Video Actually Entered US Under George W. Bush

The Daily Beast reports:



“Democrats Let him stay!” the ad declares. And: “It is outrageous what the Democrats are doing to our Country. Vote Republican now!” Except, that’s not the story. Luis Bracamontes was first deported to his native Mexico in 1997, during the Clinton administration, after he was busted selling drugs.

But, according to U.S. Immigration officials, Bracamontes managed return to the United States by 2001, when he was deported a second time for being in the country illegally.

That was during the first year of the Bush administration. Bracamontes was back in America again by 2002. He married a U.S. citizen and remained in the country even as the Bush administration deported people at a record rate.
