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.

They are already there. Illegals do almost all of the landscaping, lawn care and small-scale masonry in DC’s most expensive neighborhoods. They are maybe 90% Hispanics.

(The African illegals drive forklifts at Costco and Home Depot, and they are attendants at parking lots and parking garages.)

Oh no... I don’t mean as cheap labor - grateful servants etc... I mean as NEIGHBORS.

Most of us would be happy to pay more in taxes so every 5th mansion in DC can be torn down and replaced with a three story ‘rooming’ builing... something that’ll hold a few hundred illegals with MS13 gang member getting their own floor.

Let the damn ‘elites’ do THEIR part in assimilating these people ... They’re sooooooo much smarter than us - they can show us the RIGHT was to deal with MS13 goons...

Excellent idea!

Maybe you could set up a Go-Fund-Me page for such a charity?
