WASHINGTON — President Trump’s closing argument is now clear: Build tent cities for migrants. End birthright citizenship. Fear the caravan. Send active-duty troops to the border. Refuse asylum.
Immigration has been the animating issue of the Trump presidency, and now — with the possibility that Republicans could face significant losses in the midterm elections on Tuesday — the president has fully embraced a dark, anti-immigrant message in the hope that stoking fear will motivate voters to reject Democrats.
In a rambling speech on Thursday afternoon that was riddled with falsehoods and vague promises to confront a “crisis” at the border, Mr. Trump used the official backdrop of the White House to step up his efforts to demonize a caravan of Central Americans that has been making its way through Mexico, assail Democrats, and promote a vision of the United States that would be better off with fewer immigrants.
The president said he had ordered troops to respond to any migrants in the caravan who throw rocks as if they were brandishing firearms, saying, “I told them: Consider it a rifle.” He said his government had already begun to construct “massive cities of tents” to imprison legal and illegal immigrants who try to enter the United States.
“This is a defense of our country,” Mr. Trump declared from a lectern in the Roosevelt Room before leaving the White House to attend a campaign rally in Missouri. “We have no choice. We will defend our borders. We will defend our country.”

To the fags at the New Yawk Slimes. We aren’t fearing anyone. We are just pissed waiting for the shooting to start. It’s time for Americans to start defending their country.
Shoot illegal alien invaders. This is an invasion. The Slimes is an embarrassment to civil society.
Fear illegals.
A few thousand rapes and murders is a small price to pay for DNC votes.
NYT UR Fake News, enemy of the people.
Republican motto: Jobs, Not Mobs
Dem motto: There aren't that many killers in the invading force when one considers the total size of it....
OK - so I paraphrased...but the message is the same.
When you get down to it...who are the ones using the word “fear” constantly.
Why it’s the media and especially the New York Slimes.
The local news on the radio has also pushed the “immigrants” line, as if we can’t see that the crackdown is on ILLEGAL immigration.
They truly can’t help themselves. My eyes roll when I read articles like this. So slanted that it comes across as juvenile, Are there no senior editors to impose at least a smidgen of discipline on the hipster kids who write these things?
It’s the crazy minds of the liberal, progressive, socialists.
Another proggie, adult-child ‘journalist’ team lies through their teeth for their Master. That the headline eliminated ‘illegal’ (as proggie headlines always do) tells us all about them. ENEMEDIA.
