A Bold Move

President Donald Trump is playing to his strengths, and that’s causing great wailing and gnashing of teeth among the left -- again. Donald Trump knows real estate. He knows how to repurpose property.

So, he announced that the military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, will be “repurposed” to hold as many as 30,000 illegal aliens.

Listening to all the wailing, you’d think Trump was doing something outrageous and unheard of. We’ve actually been doing it for decades.

Democrats and media pundits are claiming that Trump’s move is “performative,” just an act to intimidate people from coming to America. Well, that’s the point! Why wouldn’t Democrats want to intimidate people from entering our country illegally?

If you’re in South America and want to come to the United States to take advantage of various taxpayer-funded welfare programs and you know nothing will happen to you because “progressive” politicians will protect you, of course, you will come in illegally.

But if, all of a sudden, you’re reading that Donald Trump is sending apprehended migrants to Gitmo in Cuba, you might think to yourself, “Do I really want to play volleyball with Khalid Sheikh Mohammad? Maybe I’ll just stay home.”

In fact, it seems many illegal aliens have already been intimidated by Donald Trump. Illegal border crossings have plummeted since Trump took office. That’s a good thing!
