"Infest"
Trump has used the word "infest." He doesn't want immigrants to "infest" our country.
"Infest." Think about that word. "Infest."
Here's a dictionary definition:
in·fest
verb
(of insects or animals) be present (in a place or site) in large numbers, typically so as to cause damage or disease.
"the house is infested with cockroaches"

"Infest" is the word Trump has chosen to define immigrants who have come across our Southern border, -- mostly parents/caretakers and their children, -- mostly desperate human beings seeking asylum from rape, torture, death and horrors that most can't imagine.
"Infest."
Yes. "Infest" exists today. It exists today in Trump's White House. It exists today in the Republican controlled congress. It exists today on right-wing TV and online sites. And it exists today in the poison coming from the mouths of wingnut propagandists who profit from spouting lies, hatred and racism.
And it also exists in any human being who still approves of Trump's version of America.
My fervent hope is that the upcoming election, and the seating of a new congress next January, arrives in time to put a stop to the true "infest" that is on the verge of destroying us.
