WASHINGTON – US President Donald Trump on Friday recited the lyrics of a song seen as anti-immigration called ‘The Snake’ to drive home his point about restricting immigration – an inflammatory move that harkened back to his days on the campaign trail.
In a speech to conservatives at a convention outside Washington, he also bashed opposition Democrats for failing to back his proposal for putting 1.8 million so-called ‘Dreamer’
immigrants on a pathway to citizenship in exchange for tightening border security and severely restricting legal immigration.
During his hour-long address, Trump pulled a piece of paper from his pocket and read “The Snake,” a ballad by Al Wilson about a reptile who repays a “tender woman” that nurses it back to health with a deadly bite.
