An erstwhile US President and Republican candidate in the November 5 elections, Donald Trump on Monday said immigrants were bringing bad genes into the United States.

Trump made this statement during a radio interview with conservative radio host, Hugh Hewitt.

While criticizing his Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, the former President restated a recent campaign claim that 13,000 immigrants with homicide convictions have illegally entered the country.

“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? They are now happily living in the United States.

“You know now, murderer — I believe this — it’s in their genes. We’ve got a lot of bad genes in our country right now. They had 425,000 people come into our country that shouldn’t be here that are criminals,” he added.

Meanwhile, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre slammed Trump’s remarks during a press briefing on Monday, calling them hateful and disgusting.

Jean-Pierre connected Trump’s remarks to past inflammatory rhetoric about immigrants.

“That type of language is hateful, it’s disgusting, it’s inappropriate, and has no place in our country.

“This comes from the same vile statements we’ve heard before—about migrants being poisoned, poison to the blood. That’s disgusting.

“This President and Vice President will continue to forcefully reject this kind of vile, disturbing, hateful speech. It has no place in this country. We need to respect the rights of all of us coming together, not tearing communities apart,” Jean-Pierre added.
