BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – Trump tweeted a 2005 video in which Obama, then a senator, made a statement against illegal immigration, accompanied by the comment, “I agree with President Obama 100%”.
“We are a generous and welcoming people here in the United States,” Obama says in the 31-second clip. “But those who enter the country illegally and those who employ them disrespect the rule of law and they are showing disregard for those who are following the law. We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, unchecked, and circumventing the line of people who are waiting patiently, diligently and lawfully to become immigrants into this country.”
President Obama responded to the tweet by accusing President Trump of editing the video. “President Trump is clearly misleading the public,” Obama began. “Because the entire video is actually 41 seconds long, not 31. He left out the ending when I said, ‘I have no problem of people entering the country illegally, as long as within the first week of being here they become registered democrats.’”
