President Donald Trump doubled down on his early morning tweetstorm during a speech before the National Space Council on Monday afternoon, when he vowed that the U.S. “will not be a migrant camp.”

“The United States will not be a migrant camp and it will not be a refugee holding facility,” he said. “It won’t be. You look at what’s happening in Europe, you look at what’s happening in other places, we can’t allow that to happen to the United States. Not on my watch.”

Trump also continued to blame the Democrats for being “obstructionists” and suggested that all the immigration “problems that we’re having” are Democrats’ “fault.”

Early Monday morning, Trump unleashed on Twitter, making similar comments about Democrats, despite the fact that it is his administration that recently enacted a “zero tolerance” policy at the border that has emboldened border security to arrest, criminally charge and take the children from any migrant adult who illegally comes into the U.S.

1. I'm sure racist like trump don't mind white migrants

[Bleacher Creature]

2. He's going full racist. Not even trying to hide it anymore. NT

3. No need for a dog whistle when you have a bullhorn.

One of the most sickening things about Trump's comments this morning was seeing Mike Pence standing there looking on with admiration. Pence is a disgusting hypocrite.

4. Right on cue.

For those who are surprised,well you were not paying attention. Most here on this board expected this to happen. This is the Trump/Bannon/Miller/Kelly go to trick.

5. LOL, the Pig already has made it a camp to line the pockets of private prison industry.

Near as I can tell he is spending more effort warehousing people than processing them, giving them their due process and deporting them as necessary.

Which is funny since that is main complaint from the right how the illegals are sucking the taxpayer dry.

6. Trump's vile lie blaming Democrats

cannot be allowed to stand

[sinkingfeeling]

7. The United States will not become a fascist dictatorship on my watch.

[duforsure]

8. This was a white supremacy thing all along

And just like he did to the people of color in PR from their hurricane and let them die. He just doesn't give a shxt about children or people. But then he''ll lie to your face then give you excuses, and blame others for what he's done. Haven't his supporter figured this out yet?
