Trump calls illegal immigrants as animals, dangerous people

Washington, May 18: Trump who is know for his bizzare comments on immigrants crossed all limits by branding the immigrants as animals. He called them dangerous people clamouring to breach the country's borders.

"We have people coming into the country, or trying to come in, we're stopping a lot of them. You wouldn't believe how bad these people are. These aren't people, these are animals, and we're taking them out of the country at a level and at a rate that's never happened before," the New York Times quoting Trump as saying on Wednesday.

Trump's comments came during a discussion with state and local leaders on California's so-called sanctuary laws, which strictly limit communication between local law enforcement and federal immigration officers and which the Trump administration is suing to invalidate.

He vented about the nation's immigration laws, calling them "the dumbest laws on immigration in the world". He exhorted his administration to "do much better" in keeping out undesirable people.
