Donald Trump has been under fire for remarks he made on illegal immigrants during the announcement of his candidacy. "The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems," He said. "When Mexico 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."

While the remarks are certainly blunt, they're not inherently wrong. Border Patrol seized just under $3.5M worth of marijuana from Mexican nationals in Arizona this past Thursday alone . There's also been 40 cases of sex abuse by illegal aliens this year , and that's just from what Border Patrol has posted as media releases on their website. A staggering amount of those cases involve children and minors.

Here's a few examples:

April 27, 2015 in Edinburg, Texas: Border Patrol arrested four Salvadoran nationals, all with gang affiliations and all sex offenders . According to the release, their crimes included sexual assault, sodomy of a girl, sexual solicitation, indecency with a child, and possession of obscene material. They were convicted of these crimes across three separate states: Alabama, Arizona, and California. Border Patrol also seized nearly two tons of marijuana while it was on its way to Rio Grande City, Texas.

January 27, 2015 in Calexico, California: 41-year-old Mexican national was arrested while he was attempting to enter the U.S. illegally. This man was a violent drug dealer who was convicted for attempting to have sex with a minor three-years-old or younger. He served just three years in prison for his offenses and was deported. He was prosecuted for re-entry.

February 26, 2015 in Tucson, Arizona: Statement reveals twelve significant arrests through the month of February. Three of the twelve were violent gang members , two of whom were previously deported. Five of them were all convicted sex offenders for sexual crimes against minors . The rest had extensive criminal records that included convictions for sexual abuse, battery with serious injury, domestic violence and child abuse.

The list goes on:

However you feel about Trump, you can't honestly refute what he said. There are drugs being brought across the border. There are convicted felons and gang members coming across the border. There are sex offenders entering this country with undoubtedly ill intentions. It's the truth, and it's not any less true because there are those who wish to deny the facts.
