Ann Coulter Says Military Should Shoot Illegals Trying to Cross the U.S.

Fed up with the problem of illegal immigrants, conservative commentator Ann Coulter proposed a novel yet provocative solution to the persisting problem- that is, to send the strongest possible message to others by shooting a migrant trying to cross into the U.S.

Coulter boldly told radio host Lars Larson earlier this week: “I mean, unless they’re going to shoot one and send a message to the rest. If you shoot one to encourage the others, maybe they’ll learn, but otherwise, we’ll see, we’ll see.”

Coulter even analogized her position to the Voltaire line from Candide- “We hang one to encourage the others.”

Sometimes referred to as the “GOP fire queen”, Coulter also expressed some of her disagreement with President Donald Trump’s latest pronounced plan to send the military to police the U.S. border. She thinks such a measure would hardly make any noticeable difference.

Coulter said: “Both Obama and Bush did this, too. No, there’s a reason the chant was ‘we want a wall’, we don’t want to use the military to process illegals and let them into the country.”

Of course, there are those who vehemently reacted to such controversial statement of Coulter, with some even defending the illegals.

Coulter has had a sort of parting with Trump since he signed the federal omnibus spending bill last March. She has been vocal about her disapproval of the said action. She has not completely severed ties with Trump or her support for his administration, however, even as she is increasingly becoming more “ferocious “ in her denunciations.

Coulter also happens to be one of the “elite 45” that the President follows on Twitter. Despite her recent vile attack against the President calling him a “shallow, lazy, ignoramus”, the President has opted not to retaliate and respond by slamming her in return.
