Trump suggests immigrant kids he's holding hostage are crisis actors

Brad Reed 19 JUN 2018 AT 13:06 ET

President Donald Trump on Tuesday said that the immigrant children being held at detention facilities in the United States are being trained to lie in order to gain unlawful entry into the country.

While speaking at the National Federation of Independent Business, Trump defiantly said that he would not be changing his administration’s policies on separating immigrant children from their families.

Specifically, Trump said that immigrant children were coached to make false statements about the reasons they are fleeing their home countries to gain entrance to the United States.

“They tell these people exactly what to say,” Trump alleged. “They say, ‘Say the following.’ They write it down. ‘I am being harmed in my country. My country is extremely dangerous. I fear for my life.'”

Trump then said that such statements were “given to them by lawyers who are waiting for them to come up” to the United States.

From Genocidewatch.org

1. CLASSIFICATION = Us vs. Them.
2. SYMBOLIZATION = We give names or other symbols to the classifications.
3. DISCRIMINATION = A dominant group uses law, custom, and political power to deny the rights of other groups.
4. DEHUMANIZATION = One group denies the humanity of the other group.
5. ORGANIZATION = Genocide is always organized, usually by the state.
6. POLARIZATION = Extremists drive the groups apart. Hate groups broadcast polarizing propaganda.
7. PREPARATION = National or perpetrator group leaders plan the “Final Solution”.
8. PERSECUTION = Victims are identified and separated out because of their ethnic or religious identity.
9. EXTERMINATION
10. DENIAL

We're already way too far down that list.

And he's commissioned a report that will say illegal immigrants are more likely to commit crimes despite overwhelming evidence and dozens of reports to the contrary.

This is where we go next, Trump control the government, he's going to have them start cooking the numbers to back up his policies. That is where the real horrors will start.

Did the little 2 yr old girl whose mom was taking the laces out of her little red sneakers start wailing too soon because she hadn't rehearsed her part well enough.

Trump has a limited vocabulary. I do not, yet I am hard pressed to find adjectives damning enough to express how much I loathe this POS excuse for a human.
