Trump launches campaign with false immigrant crime claims

During his Trump Tower announcement, Donald Trump alleged that Mexico was "sending" people "bringing drugs" and "crime" and declared "they're rapists" before adding "some, I assume, are good people," offering no evidence while calling for a border wall.

"They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people." — Trump Tower campaign launch, June 16, 2015
