"they fill up our alleys with people that you wonder how they get there"

What does this mean? How can he get away with saying this???

"Obamacare is a disaster, folks. It’s a disaster. I know you can say, oh, Obamacare. I mean, they fill up our alleys with people that you wonder how they get there, but they are not the Republican people our that representatives are representing. "

I ask that a lot these days. But -- "they are not the Republican people our that representatives are representing"? Aren't our representatives supposed to represent all of us, not just the Republicans? Yes, that's a rhetorical question because most of the GOP representatives, not to mention SCROTUS himself, seem to have no interest in representing anyone but other white, straight, Christian, male GOPers.
