'We agree': Trump ridiculed for saying you can't 'teach a criminal not to be a criminal'
Donald Trump on Saturday said you can't "teach a criminal not to be a criminal," leading to widespread mockery online.
Trump at his rally over the weekend used the line about criminals in connection with his stated plans for a "mass deportation" if he were to win the presidency again.
"You're not going to teach a criminal not to be a criminal, not going to happen. You don't have the time and you don't have the energy because you have to do other things," Trump said at the Michigan rally. "That is why, as soon as I take the oath of office, we will begin the largest deportation operation in the history of our country."

Social media users were quick to point out that Trump has been convicted on 34 felony counts.
Jennifer Bendery, senior politics reporter for HuffPost, said, "Says the twice-impeached ex-president convicted on 34 felony counts."
Atheist blogger Hemant Mehta said, "Someone with 34 felony charges would know."
American Bridge 21st Century said, "We agree with convicted criminal Donald Trump -- and that's why he can't be president."
Attorney Jeffrey Evan Gold chimed in, "There's a lot of misunderstanding about this."
"But should Trump embark on Stephen Miller's Mass deportation plan, almost every Hispanic in the country will someone they know, acquaintance, friend, family taken away," Gold added.
