Donald Trump is falsely alleging immigrants' genetics make them predisposed to committing the crime of murder, and says immigrants coming into the U.S. have "a lot of bad genes."
The ex-president, a convicted felon running again for the White House falsely alleged his democratic presidential opponent, Vice President Harris, has allowed 13,000 murderers to enter the country. That figure is the sum total of all people convicted of murder who have crossed the border over the past 40 years, NBC News reported, including during Trump's time as president. It also incudes people who may currently be in state or federal prison.
"When you look at the things that she proposes," Trump, speaking of Vice President Harris, told far-right pundit Hugh Hewitt Monday morning, "they're so far off she has no clue. How about allowing people to come to an open border? 13,000 of which were murderers, many of them, murdered far more than one person, and they are now happily living in the United States you know now, a murderer."
"I believe this. It's in their genes, and we got a lot of bad genes in our country right now," Trump alleged (video below).

Critics blasted Trump.
"Donald Trump has gone full eugenicist here," wrote constitutional law professor and political scientist Anthony Michael Kreis. Eugenics is a discredited "science" that the Nazis, inspired by a Virginia law, implemented.
"Eugenics is an inaccurate theory linked to historical and present-day forms of discrimination, racism, ableism and colonialism. It has persisted in policies and beliefs around the world, including the United States," according to the U.S. Government's National Human Genome Research Institute. An article published by the National Library of Medicine adds: "During the Nazi era in Germany, eugenics prompted the sterilisation [sic] of several hundred thousand people then helped lead to antisemitic programmes [sic] of euthanasia and ultimately, of course, to the death camps."
"This is straight up nazi stuff," declared writer, podcast host, and immigration advocate Thomas Kennedy.

Center for American Progress Executive Vice President Daniella Gibbs Léger wrote, "these types of comments from a former president who (inexplicably) has a chance of being president again deserve widespread condemnation and disgust."
She aded, "every reporter should ask EVERY GOP ELECTED OFFICIAL IF THEY AGREE WITH THIS. and hound them until they answer."
National security attorney Brad Moss observed: "Sounding more and more like the Nazis every day."
"Next step is identifying the master race and then distinguishing it from inferior races," he added.
