“They have a phone app so that people can come into our country… these are smart immigrants, I guess, because most people don’t have any idea what the ***** a phone app is,” Trump said at the Prairie Du Chien Area Arts Center in Prairie Du Chien, a city of about 5,500 people along the Mississippi River.
