Trump says the Democrats let a Mexican immigrant enter the United States
The president increases his anti-immigrant rhetoric before the mid-term exams next week as he struggles to maintain control of Congress.
Donald Trump has tweeted a video of a Mexican immigrant who claims to have killed police officers, claiming that the Democrats were responsible for allowing him to enter the United States.
The video, which looks like a video of the advertising campaign, shows the twice-deported Mexican immigrant Luis Bracamontes, who laughs at having killed two officers in California and says he wished he had killed more.
It is not clear who commissioned or made the video, but it can be seen on the Twitter and Instagram page of the president.
A dramatic video appears in the video that says "The illegal immigrant, Luis Bracamontes, killed our people! The Democrats let him in. The Democrats let him stay."
Then he goes to the clips of hundreds of migrants who break the fences, one of them tells Fox News, the president's favorite channel, that he wants to request a pardon in the US. UU For attempted murder.
Then there is a legend that says: "Who else would the Democrats let in?
"President Donald J Trump and the Republicans are protecting the Americans again!"
Accompanying the video, Mr. Trump, who did not give evidence of the allegations, wrote: "It's outrageous what the Democrats are doing with our country ... Vote for the Republican now!"
Many people have criticized the president for sharing the video.
"This announcement, and its total approval, will condemn you and your fanatical legacy forever in the annals of the history books of the Americas," wrote Al Cárdenas, former president of the Republican Party of Florida, on Twitter.
The clip recalls the famous announcement of the 1988 campaign of Willie Horton, which was condemned as racist in its use against Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis, who is Greek-American.
El Sr. Trump ha puesto el video en la parte superior de su línea de tiempo de Twitter mientras aumenta su retórica anti-inmigrante antes de los exámenes parciales de la próxima semana.
Durante la noche del jueves, el presidente dijo que la cantidad de tropas militares desplegadas en la frontera entre México y Estados Unidos podría llegar a 15,000 para evitar que unos 3,000 inmigrantes centroamericanos ingresen a los EE. UU.
