Trump suggests feeding migrants to ALLIGATORS to fix the overrun border: Ex-president says 'problem solved' in apparent joke
Daily Mail UK ^ | September 20, 2023 | Nikki Schwab

Former President Donald Trump floated a new plan Wednesday to solve the border crisis: Feed migrants to alligators.

The ex-president shared a meme to his Truth Social website Wednesday afternoon, which showed an image of six alligators with the words 'new border security' and 'will work for food' superimposed over it.

'Problem solved!!' the post also said.

Trump's commentary comes as border crossings returned to the levels from before Title 42 was dropped, with apprehensions hitting 8,000 on Monday.

It also comes after The New York Times reported in October 2019 that the then-president floated fortifying his border wall with a moat and filling it with snakes or alligators at an Oval Office meeting some months before.

During that meeting Trump had also pitched electrifying the border fence or adding spikes to the top of it, The Times said.

He had previously pitched shooting migrants in the legs, though stopped making that suggestion when White House staff told him that was illegal.

This month's rise in border apprehensions came after levels dropped off after President Joe Biden's administration ended Title 42 after a long court fight and put in new procedures meant to lower incentives and push more migrants into an online application process.

Not a bad idea, release all captured Aligators in LA and FL into the Rio Grande.

Cool. That would work and be very cost effective.

So is breaking into the country.

Not entirely impossible. What’s the daily calorie count for a full grown alligator?

I have long said independant fish breeders should be surreptitiously releasing red-bellied Piranhas into the lower Rio Grande. With the mild winters and numerous lakes they would thrive. Just do it .

MSM: Horrible. We will have to take in ten million more illegals to offset that horrible sin he just committed.

Trump must have heard me say this! I’ve been offering this as a solution to the gator problem in Florida for years!

It will be up to the Texas Parks & Wildlife to institute a alligator restocking program for the Rio Grande to bring back their numbers since mostly being eradicated through the 1950’s.

I’ve got a better idea. How about feeding crooked, socialist, communist politicians to the alligators?

Sure, tht is cruelty to animals, but PETA be damned!

THAT solution would solve a WHOLE LOT MORE PROBLEMS!

We don’t have alligators in Canaduh, but I’m sure that we Canuckistanians could arrange a number of ‘junkets’ for such politicians to FL or LA!

It was a comical meme

Yet, DM introduces it as “floated a plan”

Since illegal immigrants outnumber alligators at least 50 to 1, I don’t think this plan has much chance of succeeding. :)
