Mr. GUTIERREZ. Mr. Speaker, yesterday in the Subcommittee on
Immigration, the chairman, the gentleman from Wisconsin, attempted to
reprimand me by reminding me that House rules prevent Members from
``casting aspersions on the President of the United States.'' And what
did I say to get this reprimand? I said that the President of the
United States had said that Mexicans were criminals and rapists. Well, as the sportscasters used to say, let's go to the videotape. Almost the first words out of Donald Trump's mouth when he descended
the golden escalators to launch his Presidential campaign were this:
When Mexico sends its people, they are not sending their
best.
Identified stereotypes
Generalization that Mexicans are criminals and rapists.
