President Donald Trump gave a shout-out to the “Hell’s Angels” biker gang while talking about illegal aliens and deportation efforts.
With the media trying to shape a negative narrative around Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and the apprehension and deportation of illegal aliens, Trump sought to set the record straight with a press conference. While speaking with reporters, he compared the crimes of those who crossed the border illegally to one of the most infamous biker gangs in the United States, saying the crimes of the aliens often make the “Hell’s Angels” look like “babies.”

Trump: They used to say that the people that come into our country as immigrants are very nice people. No. They make our Hell’s Angels look like the sweetest people on Earth. I like the Hell’s Angels. They voted for me. They protected me. pic.twitter.com/Cla31wsYQn

“Nobody came in unless they came in legally. We have a big process for having people come in legally, by the way. A lot of people are coming in legally,” the president said. “They have to prove they love our country. They have to prove that they’re not going to need welfare. A lot of things they have to prove. For the first time in 50 years, we are now seeing reverse migration because we’re getting all of these illegal people out—people that came in illegally.”
“In many cases, they’re criminals. In many, many cases. You remember when they used to say that the people that come into our country as immigrants are very nice people, they’re wonderful people, and they don’t commit crime?” he recalled. “No, they make our criminals look like babies. They make our Hell’s Angels look like the sweetest people on Earth. The Hell’s Angels are now considered a nice, high-quality person. I like the Hell’s Angels. They voted for me. They protected me, actually, believe it or not. But they make our criminals look like babies. These are some of the most vicious people anywhere in the world.”
“They came from the Congo. The prisons—I know the Congo because I ended the war with the Congo and Rwanda. Tough group, very tough group. They came from prisons in the Congo, some of the toughest, meanest people you’ll ever meet. Thank you very much. They allowed them to come into America,” Trump added. “These are tough people. Before my election, 100 percent of net job creation was going to foreign migrants. Since my inauguration, 100 percent of the net jobs created have gone to American-born citizens. That’s a big thing. In other words, we’re now taking care of our people. 100 percent of net jobs created have gone to American-born people. Before that, we didn’t care.”
