Any illegal immigrant? Trump questions workers who install the White House flag
The immigration policies of President Donald Trump went to the White House grass on Wednesday, when he stopped to ask the workers who helped install mass flags in 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. about their immigration state.
The comments, which seem to be joking, occurred after a journalist asked the president about the deportation efforts of his administration.
“We are taking them out by thousands of murderers, drug traffickers, people who are mentally crazy, crazy asylums,” Trump began before resorting to the row of construction workers who take hats that are behind him during the press conference.
“Do we have someone here to be a member of, no, I don’t think so. Have you met these people for a long time?” asked. “Any illegal immigrant?”

Construction workers shook their heads, with some laughs, when Trump added: “If there were, we will discover it.”
“Your whole life will be destroyed due to this press conference. They will destroy these people. I didn’t want to tell you that before they stand up,” Trump said.
“Don’t worry, I think you’ll be fine,” the president told the workers.
The press conference on Wednesday took place after the workers erected two 88 -foot high flags, one in the North Law and another at the South Lawn, in the direction of Trump.
Trump said in a social networks On Tuesday it will be published on Tuesday that the flags were a gift from him to the White House, which said that “there was always missing in this magnificent place.”
“These are the most magnificent posts manufactured: they are high, conical, oxide proof, a rope inside the post and the highest quality,” Trump wrote. “Hopefully, they will proudly stop on both sides of the White House for many years!”
Trump’s comments occur when the president has instructed the Immigration and Customs Compliance officers (ICE) to do “everything in their possession” to supervise the largest mass deportation program in history.
“To achieve this, we must expand efforts to stop and deport illegal foreigners in the largest cities in the United States, such as Los Angeles, Chicago and New York, where millions and millions of illegal foreigners reside,” Trump wrote in a length publication on social networks During the weekend.
