Snakes, Alligators, and Bullets: Trump’s Reptilian Response to Migration
| revcom.us
Donald Trump launched his campaign for president by spewing racist contempt for immigrants, and Mexican people in particular. He called Mexicans “rapists” and said, “Those aren’t people. They’re animals.” He has laughed when someone in the mob at one of his fascist rallies shouted that immigrants “should be shot.” Recently, reports emerged that in talks with his fascist inner circle Trump has advocated building trenches filled with snakes and alligators at the border; making an electrified border wall with spikes at the top; and shooting migrants in the legs to “slow them down.”
Trump’s racist, hate-filled rants create and amplify an atmosphere in which violent attacks on immigrants—children drowning in the Rio Grande in desperate attempts to get to the other side, a border bristling with weaponry and concentration camps, people gunned down with impunity by the police—could quickly escalate into crimes against humanity on a truly massive scale. They serve to create a category of people—millions of people—against whom any atrocity is considered “acceptable” and legally justifiable. Anyone with any basic sense of human decency must pour themselves, heart and soul, into driving this fascist regime from power. #OutNow!

Together, WE passed $40,000 in revcom's Winter fundraising campaign to “Transform Revcom.us’ Web Technology and Presence”!
Reaching this goal is a real achievement and a victory for the people of the world, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the dedicated efforts of many people working creatively and collectively to meet this pressing need: those who donated whether large or small contributions, who fundraised, who spread the campaign, who sent statements, who raised comments, questions, criticisms or suggestions – and of course those who worked so hard on modernizing and upgrading our web technology and presence. It all made a difference!
The Ongoing Need for Sustainers
During this four month fund drive, Revcom.us continued to incur thousands of dollars of costs each month for our office, maintaining our existing site and other expenses. But thanks to our existing monthly sustainers we were able to meet these expenses and use all the funds raised in the drive to transform the website.
So we encourage all our donors and those who’ve not yet donated to become monthly sustainers at whatever level you can afford.
Remember, humanity’s fate truly hinges on millions taking up the revolutionary science, strategy, and new communism brought forward by Bob Avakian which they can find at revcom.us.
You’ve read this article and now you need to be part of making sure revcom.us is able to make an urgently needed leap and transformation.
