“Our laws are the worst laws of any country anywhere in the world -- catch and release. Did you ever hear? You catch, you take their name and you release. Great. Wonderful. Then they are supposed to show up to a court. There's only one problem: They never show up.”



Their response:

Trump says the United States has the "worst laws of any country" on immigration, but he has never offered evidence to substantiate these claims and many European countries, for instance, use similar legal frameworks to admit or deny entry to immigrants. Also, many people do show up for their immigration hearings. A 2017 report by the Center for Immigration Studies found, "Over the past 20 years, 37 percent of all aliens free pending their trials — 918,098 out of 2,498,375 — never showed for court."


So 37% didn't show up. That's just swell!

Fact check:

The Empire State Building took slightly more than a year to build: 13 months.


You got him now! He referred to 13 months as a year.
