Trump tells immigrants seeking asylum: Turn around, 'our country is full'

Source: yahoo





Donald Trump had a unwelcoming message to those seeking political asylum in the United States: don’t bother.

“Our country is full,” Trump said at an event in Calexico, Calif., to promote construction of a wall on the U.S. border with Mexico. “Our area is full. The sector is full. Can’t take you anymore, I’m sorry. Can’t happen. So turn around, that’s the way it is.”

..............
“If you look at our southern border, the number of people and the amount of drugs, human trafficking — the human trafficking is something that nobody used to talk about, I talk about it. It’s a terrible thing. It’s ancient and it’s never been bigger than it is modern, right now, today. All over the world, by the way, not just here. All over the world, human trafficking, a terrible thing.”



.............................................
Specifically, Trump singled out those seeking asylum, saying that a large number of them were gang members.

Crash the agricultural economy (and the U.S. economy as much as his puppet can).

Cheap labor no young Americans want to do.

7. Trump commissions new Statue of Liberty poem

“Keep, ancient lands, your storied, dirty poor"” cries he
With tight pursed lips. “Don't Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe our precious free air,
The wretched refuse of your shitty shores.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost back to their shitty countries,
We're all filled up and the "No Vacancy" lamp is lit!”

Give me your hungry, your tired your poor I'll piss on 'em
that's what the Statue of Bigotry says
Your poor huddled masses, let's club 'em to death
and get it over with and just dump 'em on the boulevard

These words were appropriate in 1989... even more so now.

There’s plenty of room for Mexicans to slave away at MaraLago while you look the other way.
