Fox News’ Jesse Watters proposes sending undocumented immigrants on “a Trail of Tears” to build Trum

Fox News’ Jesse Watters proposes sending undocumented immigrants on “a Trail of Tears” to build Trump’s 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 Trump’s draconian immigration policy even though it would require “a Trail of Tears” to work.

The segment began with a clip of Trump telling NBC’s Chuck Todd on Sunday that his immigration plan wouldn’t entail breaking up families, because he wouldn’t 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 Todd’s whining about ‘Where are these poor illegal aliens going to go,'” Watters replied. “Hey, Chuck! Put ’em up at your place, I’m sure you’ve got plenty of room. He’s 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 here’s what we do to them — we send them to the Mexican border, and maybe the illegal alien families build the wall. Then when the wall’s 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.

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.
