“President Trump’s comments are yet another confirmation of his racially insensitive and ignorant views. It also reinforces the concerns that we hear every day, that the President’s slogan Make America Great Again is really code for Make America White Again,” Richmond said in a statement. Richmond also accused Trump of being more concerned with stemming the flow of African immigrants than helping Dreamers. In a statement, the White House did not deny Trump made the comments. “Certain Washington politicians choose to fight for foreign countries, but President Trump will always fight for the American people,” said Raj Shah, principal deputy White House press secretary.
