Trump says some migrants are "not people."
That coming from the presumed leader of a party that claims to uphold the sanctity of all human life.
About his warning of "bloodbath," it looks like a campaign staffer is trying to imply that it's a prediction of economic problems, in US auto industry, given imported cars from Mexico. The rhetoric has become way too hostile.
Did he mean that US auto industry could be decimated? He was speaking in front of auto workers in Ohio.
Looks like he wants to cut off imports from Mexico potentially harming Mexico's economy. Then he wants to keep job seekers, from Mexico, out of the US as if he doesn't care about people's suffering.
Another news item talks about Florida's GOP Governor De Santos sending troops to the Florida Keys to keep out the possibility of helping desperate migrants if they flee Haiti.
Gee, maybe there are too many people in the world so human life just can't be held as sacred; if it's going to get in the way of our greed.
Obviously, I think there are better ways to cope with the situation than Republican ideas. More birth control is a strategy for dealing with too many children, but we, as well as the whole world, should also be able to accommodate people in better ways.
Good relations with Mexico is another strategy toward dealing with issues. More sharing of wealth is a strategy. Figuring out how to create a more sustainable world and combat human tendencies toward tribalism, religious nationalism, greed and violence is a strategy.
Humans ought to do better.
Each time he puts his foot in his mouth, I hope it looses him votes.
