Donald Trump has always been extremely racist, and extremely eager to use racism as a means to an end. Trump says racist things in direct terms, while a lot of other Republicans say racist things with code words. But even for Trump, this is just stunningly racist:

He’s pretty clearly saying that if someone looks nonwhite, or looks ethnic, or looks Hispanic, then they must be “trouble” and aren’t wanted here. That’s just plain disgusting.
