Critics have condemned a new Trump White House webpage that targets immigrants, slamming it as “disgraceful” and “dehumanizing.”
The White House spent part of the day teasing online what appeared to be an announcement about extraterrestrials.
It then shared a video showing an alien spacecraft beaming up a person from one side of what appears to be the U.S.-Mexico border fence, carrying them over the barrier and dropping them on the other side.
It was set, partially, to The Village People’s “Y.M.C.A” song, a Trump favorite.
“They walk among us,” the White House captioned the clip, directing users to the new website.
The home page of the website reads:
“THEY WALK AMONG US.
For 60 years, the U.S. government has kept a closely guarded secret.
Aliens have been walking among us, living in our neighborhoods, and interacting with us in our daily lives.
They’ve shopped in the same stores, attended the same classes as our children, and lived seemingly normal human existences.
With one exception — they do not belong here.
Millions arrived under the cover of darkness and embedded themselves directly into our society.
Countless presidents, congressmen, and senior officials knew exactly what was happening.
Instead of protecting American citizens, they chose to cover it up and even accelerate the invasion.
Until one man finally had the courage to tell the truth.
Bold. Unapologetic. Unafraid.
President Trump was the first to call out the real danger Aliens pose to every American family, every community, and the future of our nation.
The truth is no longer out there. It is right here. Right now.”
“If you’ve witnessed an Alien abduction, do not be alarmed.
The Alien is in good hands.
We will take care of it… and return it safely to its place of origin.”
And a mock “classified addendum” stated:
“THEY WEREN’T LITTLE GREEN MEN.
These “Aliens” are the millions of ILLEGALS who invaded our country under the cover of darkness.
President Trump told the truth. The cover-up is over.
Secure the border. Deport them all.”
The page also featured what it claimed was a live “Alien Arrest Map” tracker, lists detailing how many people have been detained in each city and why, and a link to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement tip line to report “suspicious aliens.”
Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont (D) slammed the post, responding: “Still looking for intelligent life in the White House.”
