“We need strong immigration laws, but we want to allow millions of people to come in because we need them,” Trump told reporters Wednesday on the White House lawn.

Q Mr. President, do you still believe that illegal immigration into this country is an invasion? You and the shooter in El Paso used that same language. Do you regret that?
THE PRESIDENT: I think that illegal immigration — you’re talking about illegal immigration, right? Yeah? I think illegal immigration is a terrible thing for this country. I think you have to come in legally. Ideally, you have to come in through merit. We need people coming in because we have many companies coming into our country. They’re pouring in. And I think illegal immigration is a very bad thing for our country. I think open borders are a very bad thing for our country.
And we’re stopping; we’re building a wall right now. We won the lawsuit in the Supreme Court two weeks ago. The wall is well under construction. It’s being built at a rapid pace. We need that. We need strong immigration laws. But we want to allow millions of people to come in because we need them. We have companies coming in from Japan, all over Europe, all over Asia. They’re opening up companies here. They need people to work. We have a very low unemployment rate.
So, I believe we have to have legal immigration, not illegal immigration.

Maybe research told him that his talking points on the recent shootings, immigration, and Kaepernick will work out best for him on the next election. Or… the conspiracy would be he is being black mailed over American lives, and they won. He is saying exactly what the deep state wants at the risk of another ‘mass shooting’ to occur. It would be astonishing if the ladder were true. I think the comments are made in an attempt to unionize people, and cool whatever tension exists. Action taken on the words will ultimately tell.
