From the Daily Mail, "Republican lawmakers turn on Trump for saying migrants are 'poisoning the blood' of our country and quoting Putin."
Trump, when talking about migrants at his rally over the weekend, said: 'They're poisoning the blood of our country. That's what they've done.'
He added that illegal immigrants 'poisoned mental institutions and prisons all over the world'.
The words appear to be borrowed from Adolf Hitler's 1925 manifesto Mein Kampf, where the German dictator wrote: 'All great cultures of the past perished only because the originally creative race died out from blood poisoning.'
Trump told his supporters that immigrants are 'pouring into our country' from Africa, Asia and all over the world. He even claimed that 'nobody is even looking at them, they just come in'.
During the same rally, Trump also quoted Putin by claiming President Joe Biden is a 'threat to democracy.'
'Even Vladimir Putin… says that Biden's, and this is a quote, politically motivated persecution of his political rival is very good for Russia because it shows the rottenness of the American political system, which cannot pretend to teach others about democracy,' the ex-president said.
The RINOs aren't offput by the invasion of our country, but when Trump starts borrowing phrases from socialists they draw the line. The article relates:
Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) said, 'I think it's unhelpful rhetoric,' according to a Hill report. And fellow Senate GOP leadership member Sen. Shelley Moore Capito said she 'obviously' doesn't agree with his language.
'We're all children of immigrants,' the West Virginia Republican said. 'It's just part of his campaign rhetoric, I guess. I don't know, I can't explain it.'

On the other end, Sen. Lindsey Graham said on Sunday that he doesn't care what sort of language Trump uses because his policies were more effective than Biden's in quelling the southern border crisis.
That is a moronic statement--"we're all children of immigrants." I'm not. My parents were both born and raised in the United States. Per a 2020 Pew report, the U.S.-born children of immigrants (second-generation Americans) make up 12% of the nation’s population. That same report indicates that 13.7% of the nation’s population are immigrants. That means that 74.3% of the population are not immigrants or children of immigrants.
The article also quotes Senate Republican Whip John Thune (R-Ky.) using the Democrat line that "We are a nation of immigrants." That also is not correct. Again citing to the Pew report, immigrants accounted for only 5.4% of the total U.S. population in 1960.
And is Trump wrong?
- "Chicago buckles under weight of migrant crisis as boy, 5, dies and four more children, aged between one and 14, are hospitalized with fevers after being housed in the same facility"--Daily Mail. Chicago--a sanctuary city--is collapsing under the weight of only 26,000 "migrants" from the southern border according to the article.
Chicago and other northern American cities have struggled to find housing for tens of thousands of asylum-seekers, many of whom have been bused from Texas throughout the past year.
Earlier this month, hundreds of asylum-seekers still awaited placement at airports and police stations in Chicago, some of them still camped on sidewalks outside precinct buildings.
Mayor Brandon Johnson said the blame for Jean's death lay squarely with southern governors for busing in thousands of immigrants to the 'sanctuary city'.

... The new Minnesota flag bears a striking resemblance to the flag of Jubaland, a state in southern Somalia. Both flags feature one star on a blue field on the left and white, green, and blue stripes on the right. The flag of the new, woke Minnesota also shares numerous elements with the flag of Puntland, another Somali state. The Puntland flag also features white, blue, and green stripes and a single star, although in this case the star is centered within the top stripe, rather than being featured in a field on the left.
