During his Wednesday speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Trump warned of the dangers and destabilization caused by mass migration. As in many European countries, whose leaders were in attendance, migrants have flooded the United States by the millions, many of them taking advantage of social programs, committing crimes, and failing to assimilate.

'We have to defend that culture.'

Trump pointed to Minnesota as a prime example of the failures of mass migration, noting the immense fraud and cultural disruption brought about by Somalian immigrants.

"The situation in Minnesota reminds us that the West cannot mass-import foreign cultures which have failed to ever build a successful society of their own," Trump said.

"We're taking people from Somalia, and Somalia ... it's not a nation," Trump said. "Got no government. Got no police. Got no military. Got no nothing."

Trump went on to criticize Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, a Somalian immigrant.

"She comes from a country that's not a country," Trump said. "And she's telling us how to run America. Not going to get away with it much longer."

"The explosion of prosperity, in conclusion, and progress that built the West did not come from our tax codes. It ultimately came from our very special culture," Trump said. "This is the precious inheritance that America and Europe have in common. We share it. We share it, but we have to keep it strong."

"We have to defend that culture and rediscover the spirit that lifted the West from the depths of the Dark Ages to the pinnacle of human achievement," Trump said.

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
