'Biden's migrant crime!' Donald Trump blasts New York City crime rate

Donald Trump has lamented the level of crime in New York City, branding it 'migrant crime'.

He lays the blame squarely at the door of US President Joe Biden, saying the high levels of migration under his watch is the main contributor to surging crime levels.

"We have a new crime in the cities - It's called migrant crime", he said.

"I call it Biden migrant crime, because he has allowed it to happen. New York City has 500,000 migrants. Kids can't play little league anymore, people can't move around the city anymore.

"Police are having fist fights in the middle of the streets, when do you see that happen?"
