Letter: Utah officials will not stand up to Trump

Donald Trump makes the claim that "America is full." To be fair and accurate, Trump states, "The U.S. immigration system is full and when it's full, there's nothing you can do about it." Trump's claim seems ludicrous at best. Trump's claim seems more than sinister.

If America is full, how is Trump planning on making room for “more” inhabitants? Might his claim include veiled threats of concentration camps? Extermination for the untermenschen? “Untermenschen” is a term of Nazi device, meaning “inferior people,” that came in handy during the rise of the Third Reich. Is that the underlying meaning of Trump's claim of America being full?
