About Trump's inane immigrant "dump"

He says he will move them to "sanctuary cities".
Are these legal immigrants? If so, they are free to go wherever they want in the country, no matter where they are first placed. Same with asylum seekers.
Are these undocumented? Is he saying he will put undocumented immigrants in cities around the country? That means he is the means they enter the country.

What a buffoon.

And his proposal to pack them into rail cars and move them wherever he likes is reminiscent of a horrific age. Worse, he really means it.

He wants to move people against their will... to use them as pawns for his own political gain. It's sick and criminal.

He can't just kick people out of the country. Asylum seekers, for example. have the right to remain here while their case for asylum is being considered. That's the law. He thought he could just kick them out, but he can't.

So, in frustration, he thinks he can piss off people in places that didn't vote for him by shipping those immigrants to their states and cities. Trump is an idiot!
