The First Level of Shithole America Hell: Trump is elected on a racist platform and a promise to shut down the southern border.

The Second Level of Shithole America Hell: Trump institutes a new policy designed to deter LEGAL immigration by rejecting families applying for asylum, declaring them as illegal immigrants, and separating children--including babies and toddlers--from their parents.

The Third Level of Shithole America Hell: Trump institutes this policy without having prepared for it. Two thousand children are separated from their parents in just six weeks. Existing facilities are quickly overwhelmed. New tent cities for detained children are thrown up in Texas under 100-degree heat. HHS staff is not trained on how to care for these children. The government cannot say if there is a database that maintains information on these children and their parents. It is not clear that whether the government may will be able to reunite these families.

The Fourth Level of Shithole America Hell: Trump, at the G7 Summit, stuns world leaders during a discussion on migration by telling Prime Minister Abe of Japan "Shinzo, you don't have this problem, but I can ship you 25 million Mexicans and you'll be out of office very soon."

The Fifth Level of Shithole America Hell: Trump, in a brazen lie, claims that his new policy of separating of families at the border is mandated by "a law passed by the Democrats and forced on us by the Democrats."

The Sixth Level of Shithole America Hell: Jeff Sessions quotes the same Biblical passage used by 18th and 19th century American clergy to justify slavery as a religious rationale for his terrible new policy.

The Seventh Level of Shithole America Hell: Trump, in another brazen lie, claims that he "hates" his own policy of separating families at the border.

The Eighth Level of Shithole America Hell: Trump uses the human tragedy at the border as a bargaining chip to get the Democrats to vote for his border wall next week.

We haven't reached bottom on this despicable chapter in American history. To be continued...
