President Trump’s Weekly Address from Saturday, June 16, 2018

TRANSCRIPT

EVERY DAY AT 5:23, I FEEL LIKE SHE’S GOING TO COME THROUGH THAT DOOR, BUT I KNOW SHE’S NOT. THOSE OF THE WORDS AND HEARTBREAKING THEY ARE OF ELIZABETH ALVARADO, WHOSE BEAUTIFUL 15-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER NISSA, ALONG WITH HER FRIEND KAYLA, WAS BRUTALLY MURDERED BY A GANG OF VILE SAVAGES KNOWN AS MS-13. YOU HAVE ALL HEARD OF THEM. THEY ARE BAD. EVERYWHERE THEY GO, THE THOUSANDS OF MS-13 GANG MEMBERS WHO HAVE INFILTRATED OUR COUNTRY SO ILLEGALLY, SO VIOLENTLY, LIVE BY THEIR GRUESOME MOTTO, KILL, RAPE, CONTROL. JUST WEEKS AGO, AN ILLEGAL MS-13 GANG MEMBER WAS ARRESTED FOR ALLEGEDLY MURDERING A MAN AND BURNING HIS BODY. THEY GANG MEMBER REPORTEDLY ENTERED OUR COUNTRY THROUGH GLARING LOOPHOLES FOR UNACCOMPANIED ALIEN MINORS. THE DEMOCRATS ALLOW THOSE LOOPHOLES TO BE THERE. THEY COULD CHANGE THEM SO EASILY, BUT THEY DON’T WANT TO DO THAT, FOR STRICTLY POLITICAL REASONS. IN TEXAS, TWO MS-13 MEMBERS WERE CHARGED AFTER ALLEGEDLY KIDNAPPING, DRIVING AND RAPING A 14-YEAR-OLD GIRL, THEN MURDERING SOMEONE ELSE. IN MARYLAND, MS-13 GANG MEMBERS ARE ACCUSED OF STABBING A MAN 100 TIMES, DECAPITATING HIM, AND RIPPING OUT HIS HEART. POLICE ALSO BELIEVE MS-13 MEMBERS BEAT A SEX TRAFFICKED 15-YEAR-OLD GIRL WITH A BAT 25 TIMES, BADLY DISFIGURING HER BODY AND HER FACE. MS-13 HAS INFILTRATED MANY SCHOOLS ACROSS AMERICA. A RECENT NEWSPAPER REPORT DETAILS HOW A MIDDLE SCHOOL IN MARYLAND IS SUFFERING FROM VIOLENCE, MS-13 GANG ACTIVITY, INCLUDING DRUG DEALING, ATTEMPTED GANG RECRUITMENT, DAILY FIGHTING, AND ALLEGED ASSAULT. MS-13 GANG MEMBERS ARE TRULY, AND YOU HAVE HEARD ME SAY IT, ANIMALS, YET NANCY PELOSI AND WASHINGTON DEMOCRATS CONTINUE TO PROTECT THEM AND TO PUSH FOR OPEN BORDERS. THEY WANT THEM TAKEN CARE OF. THEY WANT THEM TO BE LEFT ALONE. THE RECORD IS PLAYING. WASHINGTON DEMOCRATS VOTED AGAINST KATE’S LAW, AGAINST LEGISLATION TO DEPORT GANG MEMBERS, AND VOTED FOR SANCTUARY CITIES, WHERE THESE VIOLENT CRIMINALS HIDE. DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS HAVE OPPOSED EVERY MEASURE THAT WOULD CLOSE THESE IMMIGRATION LOOPHOLES AND BRING THE SLAUGHTER TO AN END. AMERICAN MUST DEMAND THEIR LAWMAKERS SUPPORT THE LEGISLATION WE NEED TO DEFEAT MS-13 ONCE AND FOR ALL, AND TO ENSURE EVERY AMERICAN JOB IN EVERY AMERICAN COMMUNITY CAN — EVERY AMERICAN CHILD IN EVERY AMERICAN COMMUNITY CAN GROW UP IN SAFETY AND GREW UP IN SECURITY AND IN PEACE. WE HAVE A GREAT COUNTRY. I WANT TO KEEP IT THAT WAY, AND YOU WANT ME TO KEEP IT THAT WAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
