Donald Trump floated adding a moat filled with snakes and alligators at the border and shooting border jumpers in the legs as a solution to the influx of illegal immigration coming from the south, it was revealed Tuesday.
During a private March meeting with White House advisers, the president asked for cost estimates on several ideas he had that he felt would stop migrants from illegally crossing into the U.S., more than a dozen White House and administration officials directly involved in the events revealed in a new book.
The book, 'Border Wars: Inside Trump's Assault on Immigration' by New York Times Washington correspondence Michael D. Shear and Julie Hirschfeld Davis, will be published by Simon & Schuster on October 8, but excerpts were adapted and published on the Times' website Tuesday.
One idea he proposed was shutting down the entire 2,000-mile border the U.S. shares with Mexico by noon the following day.

We lived in a small town close the base. The back garden had a 12 foot wall mud-packed walled around it.
Security was pieces of broken glass embedded in the top on the wall.
Kept out the riffraff.
Rattlesnakes. Lots of rattlesnakes.
Ahh, the A-10.
Thought I heard some strange sounding aircraft last Sunday eve. I live near an AF base
Went out to see. A-10s a two-ship. Slow, confident, laid back.
Ominous
I wanted solar powered, auto targeting lasers to be mounted atop the border wall.
He stole the idea from me.
Great combination to make anybody nervous.
bouncing betties every 3 yards would be easier to put in place, and pretty effective.
Yup. Total BS. THIS STORY IS ABOUT AS ACCURATE AS Schiff’s statement the other day. You can’t realistically have moats in a desert.

I burst out laughing when I saw this headline...
LOL!
...moat filled with snakes, etc.? Nah, nothing a 1/4 mile wide minefield cannot handle......let them get over the wall, please.....
Big difference between “demanded” in the headline and “floated” the idea in the article.
The President has a sense of humor and the humorless ones never get it...
Huh?
An 'open' border has NO rules that must be followed.
Rock&Roll ‘hits’??
A few years ago; every Friday, after noon, one could hear and finally see a couple of A-10s down on the deck; flying the length of high voltage transmission lines over my property; one about 5-10 seconds behind the other.
Maybe they were hopeful they would be. Oh those crazy wild eyed optimistic poverty row studio PR people’
