Frustrated with a record number of people seeking asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border this spring, President Donald Trump at one point asked in a private meeting with close aides whether the U.S. could shoot migrants below the waist to slow them down.
According to two sources familiar with the matter, Trump in private meetings raised the prospect of shooting migrant families seeking asylum at the border as early as November 2018. He also floated a similar idea publicly at one point, suggesting that rocks thrown by migrants will be considered a firearm and potentially warrant lethal force.
Sources interviewed by ABC News say Trump’s aides discouraged the idea of shooting unarmed migrants and it was never acted upon. But Trump remained focused on the idea, bringing it up again in the private Oval Office meeting in March 2019, when the number of undocumented migrants arriving at the border topped 100,000 for that month alone.

Just waiting for someone to take Matzav to task for being a “Left-pandering instrument of the Fake News conspiracy” instead of an “objective (a.k.a. pro-Trump) news outlet for Torah-true yidden”!!
Matzav is very considerate to the sheeple who are so brainwashed with dozens of years of mainstream fake news conspiracy. Matzav wouldn’t ch”v want to confuse them and scare them away.
Yes… especially in a world of “post-truth” and “alternative facts”… what an incredibly mind-blowing kiyum to the words of heiligah Chazal at the end of Mishnayos Sotah (“…ho’emess ne’ederes…”). And in such a dark and forbidding world our only hope is not mushchosim and remo’im, but “eyn lonu al mee leheesha’en elah Avinu Shebashomayim!!!
Trump is discriminating against immigrants. Matzav is not left wing.
How so…explain.Have you ever heard or know the difference between immigrant and ILLEGAL immigrant?
