Trump Says Democrats Want Immigrants to ‘Infest’ the U.S.
The Atlantic ^ | June 19, 2018 | David A. Graham

What are infestations? They are takeovers by vermin, rodents, insects. What does one do with an infestation? Why, one exterminates it.

One of the paradoxes of modern-day American politics is that white identity politics can be a potent political platform, as long as you don’t call it that. Policies with racist effects are often popular; explicit racism is verboten.

Thus Donald Trump can win the presidency while running, as my colleague Adam Serwer documented, on a program of discrimination, but when Corey Stewart, a Republican politician in Virginia, makes his white-identity politics too explicit he gets shunned by the GOP.

Sometimes, however, the president’s mask slips, usually at moments of national crisis, and he says the quiet part loud, as The Simpsons memorably put it. This happened after race riots in Charlottesville, when Trump insisted there were good people among the white-supremacist marchers. And it’s happening again now in the context of separating families at the borders....

The Dems see every illegal as a permanent voter, and many are now voting without being citizens.

The carbon unit infestation is to be removed from the Creator’s planet.

In the 60’s Dems realized that most Americans didn’t like their Marxist message and came to the conclusion that if Americans wouldn’t vote for them, perhaps foreigners would.

Well...an Obama Presidency of hell for 8 years and open borders since 1965 - HERE WE ARE!

INFESTATION is the correct term to use when speaking of unvetted illegal immigration, en masse. It’s not pleasant, but it is correct and unambiguous. Preach it, Mr. President!

‘Trump Says Democrats Want Immigrants to ‘Infest’ the U.S.’

His tweet stated ‘illegal immigrants’. Another misrepresentation by the propagandists.

Yep. The left's immigration policy is just the The Curley Effect (Using Redistributive Politics to Shape a Left-Wing Electorate) writ large.

The Atlantic is using the tactic by which Leftist Professors shut up students raised in Conservative homes. It is an easily refuted argument. See Leftist War On Social Continuity

See Compulsion For Uniformity

See Myths & Myth Makers In American "Higher" Education, particularly the Gordon Allport section & that on Norman Cousins.

the problem is that NUMEROUS Islamics have already been brought or allowed into USA

it is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS for America, the infestation must must must must must be removed... the humanitarian approach will be to simply repatriate them all back to their own countries/Krapistans now..

Hello 2DV, always enjoy seeing you, hope you and your wife are feeling better!!! Just wanted to share that apparently I’ve joined a cult and can no longer be objective or think for myself! I’m not quite sure but I think I’m supposed to be horrified that Trump used the word “infest” but I love It! I also love zero tolerance, build the wall, lock her up, and just about every other Trumpism there is! Oh, and I love Trump tweets and look for them every day! I guess overall I’m still over in the basket of deplorables!! And now part of a cult too! Couldn’t be more proud!! :)

Trump is right. They do want illegals to infest and nest until they can eventually vote or just vote illegally. Dem’s don’t care about legal or illegal because they are crooks by nature. The rule of law means absolutely nothing to dems unless they can use it to their advantage.

I can only think of one group that is lower than leftists. I’d be breaking a rule about a so-called religion if I mentioned them in this context though.

Yes, LEGAL immigrants ARE infesting this country. We ALLOW a million in per year and many never leave. Stop ALL immigration now!

"What are infestations? They are takeovers by vermin, rodents, insects."

And snakes.

Don't forget the Snake.
