Trump said that the Mexican government is sending rapists and murderers into the United States. That was his claim.
He used that claim to suggest the Mexican government is smarter than the U.S. government and they're playing us for suckers. He also used that claim to bolster his, "we're gonna build a wall and I'm gonna make the Mexican government pay for it!" rhetoric.
He has not produced any proof to back that claim all these months later.
(I don't doubt that many terrible crimes are committed by criminals engaged in the people and drug smuggling businesses.)
