PHEW! Trump Says He Has Figured Out Why Biden is 'Allowing' Millions of Migrants Into America [1]

The most easily predictable political tactic of the Republican Party and its rightist propaganda outlets is the traditional fear mongering and demonization of alleged "caravans" of migrants and refugees just prior to any election. It's a problem that they mostly ignore until it's time to frighten their flock with flagrant falsehoods of foreign invasions.

Fox News has been the most vocal disseminator of these nightmarish scenarios wherein hordes of scary brown folks are said to be marching into America bent on taking over the country. It's a concept that was frequently pushed by former Fox News Senior White Nationalist, Tucker Carlson.

Not to be outdone, Donald Trump has made the same allegations about immigrants plotting to wrest control of America from its rightful white superiors. Recently Trump has resorted to rhetoric that he snatched from Hitler, referring to migrants as "vermin" who are "poisoning the blood" of the nation.

On Saturday morning Trump unleashed a flurry of posts to his failing social media scam, Truth Social. In about an hour he dropped 37 comments, mostly exalting himself or maligning his perceived enemies. Among these posts was one that addressed the immigration issue in a way that only a virulent racist like Trump can...
"It’s becoming more and more obvious to me why the 'Crazed' Democrats are allowing millions and millions of totally unvetted migrants into our once great Country. IT’S SO THEY CAN VOTE, VOTE, VOTE. They are signing them up at a rapid pace, without even knowing who the hell they are. It all makes sense now. Republicans better wake up and do something, before it is too late. Are you listening Mitch McConnell?"
Let's set aside the infantile insults about "Crazed Democrats," and obvious lies about "millions of totally unvetted migrants," and focus on Trump's ridiculous assertion that the reason Biden and Democrats are "allowing" migrants in is "SO THEY CAN VOTE, VOTE, VOTE." Anyone with even a minimal grasp on reality (which leaves out the entirety of the MAGA Cult) knows that undocumented immigrants cannot, and do not, vote. Even documented immigrants can't vote until after they have been legal residents for years and become naturalized.
Trump claims that Democrats are implementing a devious plan to alter the electorate by recruiting undocumented immigrants and are "signing them up at a rapid pace." His evidence of that remains firmly clogged in his atrophied cranium, along with his evidence that the 2020 election that he decisively lost to Biden was "rigged and stollen."
For the record, migrant apprehensions and expulsions at the southern border are at record highs. Which means that the Biden administration is doing a better job of policing the border than Trump did. And he's doing it more humanely, without having to incarcerate people in cages or rip children away from their parents.
Another post by Trump about voting mentioned a study that found that "Votes Increased by Up to 8pts in States with Universal Mail-In Voting." It linked to a right-wing website that surely misinterpreted whatever it was "reporting." But it's curious that Trump would promote it considering that he has long insisted that all mail-in voting is rampant with fraud.
Finally, Trump threatens his fellow Republicans, warning that they "better wake up and do something." You'll notice that he doesn't say what they should do. Perhaps he thinks they should start illegally registering immigrants to vote. He's made it clear that he has no aversion to committing crimes.
One thing we can be certain of is that he is not proposing that they do something legislatively. The GOP has opposed and obstructed every effort to pass a bipartisan immigration reform bill for years. That's because they want the problem to exploit politically, more than they want a solution. They know that if the problem were solved they would have nothing else to talk about, except maybe Hunter Biden's laptop.
