Trump's Horrifying Immigration Policy: Hate, Gators, Spiked Wall, Shoot Their Legs

Drones, Mines, Gators, Spiked Wall, Shoot 'em in Legs

(What's next: Detain and then sell immigrant kids)

WASHINGTON – As a new book details his efforts to stop illegal immigration, Trump claimed (USA Today) that he did not propose lining the Mexican border with a moat filled with snakes and alligators.

His Tweet: “Now the press is trying to sell the fact that I wanted a Moot stuffed with alligators and snakes, with an electrified fence and sharp spikes on top, at our Southern Border. I may be tough on Border Security, but not that tough. The press has gone Crazy. Fake News!”

Trump later sent out the same tweet with the correct spelling of “Moat,” but he needlessly capitalized it.

According to the book: “Border Wars: Inside Trump’s Assault on Immigration,” (Available starting October 8, 2019) in addition to closing the entire southern border, Trump at one point suggested radical and even violent ways to stop illegal crossings including:

Snake-and-alligator-filled moat as well as shooting migrants in the legs (NY Times).

And: “Privately, the president had often talked about fortifying a border wall with a water-filled trench, stocked with snakes or alligators, prompting aides to seek a cost estimate”

My 2 cents: The man has lost it and warrants removal from office ASAP or sooner. 

Meanwhile his apparent attitude based on his follow up the next news cycle seems to be:

Quick, alert Alabama

What a disgrace to the country. Thanks for stopping.
