(11,885 posts)After all they know these people are coming here for jobs , so why aren't they criminalizing the businesses that hire them? They won't. They want people to believe these people are criminals because they're being victimized by criminals, and running from them to a safer place, yet trump wants people to hate them all for this. Instead of holding any businesses owners accountable, they instead would rather claim all that come here are hardened criminals, when the real criminals are in the White House now lying like this about people running for their lives escaping corruption and violence.

(24,259 posts)as is very predictable for the pathologically lying narcissist-in-chief, projected the blame on Democrats. Trump doing this feeds into the bigotry of his Cult45 twits and fires them up to vote.
Republicans don't really want to fix the 'problem' or they could have many times over by now. This stirring up the fear of 'other' has long been a very handy tool that they (and other enemies of democracy) use to manipulate the ignorant and fearful who don't want to believe the truth and accept that it's 'their' fault, as well as those whose memories are shorter than that of a gnat.
