Fox News Jesse Watters proposes sending undocumented immigrants on a Trail of Tears to build Trumps Mexican border wall"If these illegals came to the US and had babies who grew up Republican, Democrats would build a bigger wall"
SCOTT ERIC KAUFMAN
On The Five Monday, Fox News court jester Jesse Watters inflicted his brand of humor on the immigration debate, claiming that he supports Trumps draconian immigration policy even though it would require a Trail of Tears to work.
The segment began with a clip of Trump telling NBCs Chuck Todd on Sunday that his immigration plan wouldnt entail breaking up families, because he wouldnt just be deporting illegal parents, he would be deporting their children too in order to keep the families together.
This is a massively inhumane proposal, Geraldo Rivera said. Do you remember the picture of Elian Gonzalez, the Cuban child being forcibly deported with that immigration officer holding that gun while he was hiding in the closet? Multiply that by two million.
I love how Chuck Todds whining about Where are these poor illegal aliens going to go,' Watters replied. Hey, Chuck! Put em up at your place, Im sure youve got plenty of room. Hes a compassionate guy, and I bet he has a mansion.
Over the exasperated cries of his co-hosts, Watters continued, saying I think the plan is simple. Maybe heres what we do to them we send them to the Mexican border, and maybe the illegal alien families build the wall. Then when the walls finished, they get amnesty.

A DU'er sent me a pm with the following comment, not sure why she/he was afraid to post it.:
I learned this information from the Cherokee Indian Reservation museum in Cherokee N.C. It wasn't the Cherokee that were crying and caused the name "Trail of Tears"....it was called that because WHITE people lined the route cried when they saw them carrying their dead bodies...the old and the very young who died of exposure (half their numbers) and refusing to put their bodies on a wagon or burying them along the way...instead...carrying them themselves .....all the way to the Reservation in Oklahoma.

(23,946 posts)4. When are the psychotic sick fucks of Fox and their sick puppet politicians going to be called psychotic sick fucks by the rest of the
sick fucks in the liberal controlled mass media?
Not to mention the sick fucks voting in the fucked up primary system that begins in and inflates horribly the importance of the fucked up minds of Iowa and NH GOP voters?
...never mind....I find that holding your breath just gets you out of breath.
