“I’d love it if we could take some of our 20-time wise guys that push people into subways and hit people over the back of the head and then purposely run people over in cars, if he would take them, I would be honored to give them. I don’t know what the law says on that but I can’t imagine the law would say anything different. If they can house these horrible criminals for a lot less money than it costs us, I’m all for it but I would only do according to the law.
“But I have suggested that, you know, why should it stop just the people that cross the border illegally? We have some horrible criminals, American grown and born. And if we have somebody that bops an old woman over the head, if we have somebody that is in jail 20 times and goes back and shoots people all over the place, and then has a bad judge or a bad prosecutor that do nothing about them, all they worry about is politics.
“And don’t worry about that, I think if we could get El Salvador or somebody to take them I’d be very happy with it. But I have to see what the law says.” – Trump, speaking last night on Air Force One.
Trump says he wants to send Americans to gulags in El Salvador: “I love that. If we could take some of our 20 time wiseguys that push people into subways … if he would take them, I would be honored to give them. I don’t know what the law says on that … I’m all for it.” pic.twitter.com/04b4pk9Vdh
