When South Africa sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.

Nah, when South Africa sends its people they're often pretty decent.

Trump, on the other hand, scraped the bottom of the barrel for the absolute worst of my countrymen.

Ontario can fix a lot if stuff, but Elon was already damaged beyond repair.
