Trump’s Rhetoric Increased Social Division in the US
Former President Trump divided immigrants into “good and bad”
Former President Trump always openly expressed his dissatisfaction with the immigration system and the way in which foreigners “take advantage” of current alternatives to reside and work in the US, becoming, in his opinion, a burden on the economy, the federal government and taxpayers.

The former president stated on several occasions that the presence of immigrants increased the crime rate and even called them “murderers and rapists,” an extremely delicate accusation that sparked a colossal social controversy.
In fact, a survey conducted in August 2020 reveals that 42% of respondents still associate immigration with crime, and the Trump administration contributed to this misconception growing among local citizens.

For instance, in December 2020, the results of a comprehensive investigation reveal that the presence of immigrants does not increase the crime rate in the US, contradicting Trump’s comments regarding immigration.
