Last night, precisely at midnight as it happened, I woke up and thought that Trump’s final solution about what to do with the immigrants his Gestapo rounded up could result in his paying a country like South Sudan to take all of them and then secretly do whatever they damn well wanted to in order to deal with them. They could be dropped at a remote airstrip far from prying eyes.
I thought that a specially selected military unit of whatever country that took them could shoot them as soon as the transport plane left. Out of sight, out of mind, as far as the American’s flying them to their ultimate fate would be concerned.
Dead men tell no tales. My morbid imagination told me how easy it would be for the story of these victims to be figuratively and literally buried in the desert.
Then this morning I saw this article on RawStory:
Excerpt:
During Sunday's Washington Journal program on C-SPAN, a man named Ryan called in to urge the president to be tougher on immigration.
"I like what the Trump administration's doing, but I think they could be doing a little bit more," the caller said. "Number one, they could militarize the border and shoot illegals coming into the country."
Then Ryan went on to say that “they could also process them like a military combatant, putting them in a military tribunal, finding them guilty, and then shipping them the hell out of the country.”
You can listen to Ryan here and watch the moderator manage not to react to what he is saying here.
I doubt Trump ever checks in on RawStory, let alone watches live CSPAN shows. I sure hope he doesn’t. If he does he may have heard what Ryan had to say. If he did, he just might think he could get away with eliminating the pesky problem of what to do with immigrants once ICE grabs them up with this drastic solution.
I won’t go down the road where this could lead if Trump ended up turning his ICE Gestapo into a force at his beck and call to deal with his political enemies and regular citizens who dare to opose him.
