Trump says illegal immigration is destroying US economy, references Springfield and Aurora

Former President Donald Trump said that illegal immigration is part of the reason why the economy and cost of living is bad for all Americans during the second presidential debate. 

"We have millions of people pouring into our country from prisons and jails, from mental institutions and insane asylums," Trump said. "And they're coming in and they're taking jobs that are occupied right now by African Americans and Hispanics and also unions. Unions are going to be affected very soon."

He then went on to reference the towns of Springfield, Ohio, and Aurora, Colorado. Aurora made headlines when videos circulated online of Venezuelan gangs occupying apartment buildings in Colorado. Springfield in Ohio has similarly made news amid reports of Haitian migrants wreaking havoc on the small town.

 "You see what's happening with towns throughout the United States," Trump said. "You look at Springfield, Ohio. You look at Aurora in Colorado. They are taking over the towns. They're taking over buildings. They're going in violently. These are the people that she and Biden led into our country, and they're destroying our country. They're dangerous."

Trump said he created a great economy and would do it again if re-elected.
