A Petition for Congress to Censure Donald J. Trump
Today, June 19th, 2018, Mr. Trump tweeted the following:
“Democrats are the problem. They don’t care about crime and want illegal immigrants, no matter how bad they may be, to pour into and infest our Country, like MS-13. They can’t win on their terrible policies, so they view them as potential voters!”
The word "infest" has been used before. It creates imagines of rats, and insects. The Nazis used this type of language. Similar language was employed during the genocide in Rwanda.
The Congress of the United should censure the President of the United States. This type of rhetoric has no place in a Democracy.

Why is this important?
The Congress of the United States should censure Donald J. Trump for his rhetoric employed against immigrants. Employing the word "infest" is similar to the rhetoric used by fascists and other authoritarians. It has no place in a Democracy.
