Trump says he will restrict asylum, claims troops will shoot at rock throwers

[Arkansas Granny]

President Donald Trump on Thursday claimed he would sign an executive order "next week" aimed at restricting US asylum rules, as he seeks to use a group of Central American migrants heading for the US border as part of his midterm election closing argument.

He also suggested that the US troops he dispatched to the US-Mexico border could fire on someone in the migrant caravan if the person threw rocks or stones at them.

In a meandering speech at the White House about immigration, Trump recycled many of the talking points he touts on the campaign trail -- but offered little in the way of concrete ways to address the problems he embellished.

Trump said his administration is finalizing an executive action that would limit asylum claims to legal ports of entry, claiming migrants frequently abuse the system by fabricating their need for asylum.

Trump wants a war and he has chosen immigrants as the enemy. He won't be satisfied until someone is killed.

5. I live in Illinois.

In the 3rd Congressional District, there is a Nazi running for Congress as the official GOP candidate.

So I disagree with your position.

7. I wish. The military has a lot of white wing militia types nowadays.

4. If U.S. troops fire onthese people it will be beginning of the end for Trump's (so called)presidency

I suspect there may be some incidents with the local "wannabe" militias, maybe not even that.

8. What makes you think that? So much else should have already done it.

I don't think for a minute killing innocent people will be a problem for him. He already ripped toddlers away from mothers and his Cult approved. What' a few brown people from down south to them? Nothing, unfortunately.

Don't expect Ryan, McConnell or anyone else to do more than flap their lips in horror.

9. Not so sure. The difference is he sends them there with a license to open fire. I lived the times of

the Kent State shootings (maybe you too) and that changed everything. Don't give up, but I do understand your outlook. Esp McConell /Ryan

Trump is beset with legal problems from many sides. Do not underestimate the affect the murdering of innocent civilians will have with voters and Congress. I think Trump will have bigger things to deal with after the midterms and will not have U. S. troops firing on anyone at the border.

My concern is local wannabe militias.

6. "Will shoot at rock throwers."

His pal, Bibi, must be planting ideas in his syphilis-addled brain.
