Senator Kamala Harris Reacts To “Outrageous” Trump Idea For Migrants | The Last Word | MSNBC

  1. He got that from the Israelis. Their snipers on wall duty are sometimes ordered to shoot unarmed (usually children and teenagers) in the leg when they get too close to the barrier between Israel and the Palestinians…

  2. Ugh. I can already hear Trump when Kamala calls him mean.

    Trump: Mean? I’m not mean. I’m the nicest person you’ll ever meet. Believe me.

  3. Let’s see what some Founding Fathers wrote about immigrants coming to & seeking asylum in the US:

    Washington: “I had always hoped that this land might become a safe and agreeable Asylum to the virtuous & persecuted part of mankind, to whatever nation they might belong…” 1788

    Paine: America is “An asylum for mankind.” Common Sense

    Jefferson: The US offers “A sanctuary for those whom the misrule of Europe* may compel to seek happiness in other climes.” 1817

    The Declaration of Independence states that one of the abuses of the king was that he discouraged and prevented people from coming to the colonies by “obstructing the Laws for naturalization” & “refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations”.

    * It’s important to note that for much of America’s history, Americans descended from purely English ancestry thought of European countries, especially Southern and Eastern, as being “shitholes” or failed states (with the exception of France) and populated with people who weren’t really regarded as white (Anglo Saxon/WASP white was the only “real” white). This includes especially Irish, Scottish, and German people whom, of course, the English long thought of being inferior/backwards (hence not properly “white”). Immigration quotas and even bans were placed on every (or almost every) European country but England at some point in US history.

    So unless you can claim pure English ancestry, YOUR ancestors were for a long time not wanted in the US, regarded as something less than purely white, and coming from barbaric, failed, “shithole” countries by the majority of Americans, and the only reason YOU are here is because enough non-bigots fought for YOUR (or your ancestor’s) right to immigrate to the US and become a citizen.

    1. It’s fitting, doncha think? considering a lot of the evil rich guy villains of the 80s and 90s WERE based on Donald.

  4. There will be more stories to come, I suspect. You know the saying: rats are the first to jump a sinking ship. This ship is going down in flames.

  5. Trump is just so.. spectacularly evil. It seems he feels a continuous urge to out do himself in sheer moral bankruptcy. Throw him in jail before he does more harm to the world.

    1. Betty Boo ..25th Amendment, resignation or punishment worse than death for TREASON/HIGH CRIMES AGAINST AMERICA🔒🔒🔒

  6. I’m not sure people are going to be “outraged” at moats filled with alligators and snakes because we’ll be too busy laughing and incredulous that someone can be so stupid.

  7. Perhaps his son Barron is his new senior advisor..adolescent idea..we need strong leadership..go Harris🗽

  8. What do you mean, “on the verge of…..”. Pompeo is in up to his neck, and so is Pence and Rudy, with obstructing. This is why Haldeman, Ehrlichmam, and AG John Mitchell went to prison.
