Actually when he said "some" he said "and some, I assume, are good people." Like, amongst all those rapist, I guess the chances are there are some of the good ones mixed in.
He was quite confident, however, that there were "very fine people" and a white nationalist rally.
He had a valid point. But it's very easy to just say, "with unregulated immigration, we can't filter out criminals."
If you go on and on about the bad elements in any group and then say, "and some, I assume, are good people" it's obvious what you mean.
Moreover, neither party genuinely wants to cut off this source of cheap labor with no rights. Their donors would have a fit. What, you think Trump wants some orderly system where these people can join unions or call OSHA?
He just wants to use them as a scapegoat.
