'Lot of racism here': CNN panelists aghast at Trump campaign's latest 'attack' on migrants

Donald Trump's campaign shared an allegedly racist meme on social media suggesting that Kamala Harris would flood American neighborhoods with migrants.

The Trump War Room, which is the campaign's official X account, posted side-by-side photos of a tidy suburban neighborhood with an American flag hanging from the front porch of one home and no people in the frame contrasted with a 2023 Getty photo showing a throng of recently arrived migrants sitting outside a New York City hotel that now serves as an immigration intake center.

"There was another message," said CNN's Kasie Hunt, quoting from that tweet: "Quote, 'import the third world, become the third world' ... There's a lot there. Obviously it's impossible to miss."

Civil rights activist Maya Wiley agreed, saying the post was clearly intended to inflame racist hate.

"Look, there's just a lot of racism there," Wiley said. "I mean, we just have to call it what it is it is – offensive. I think so many of us remember the Donald Trump who called Mexicans criminals literally as a group, not about any individual conduct of any individual person questioned, and was reportedly talking and calling Haiti and African countries expletive hole countries. I won't say it on CNN, but we all know the reference."

The second photo shows dozens of migrants – all of them Black or Latino men – and Wiley said the choice of that photo makes the campaign's intention clear.

"I mean, this is a long-standing racializing immigration," Wiley said. "First of all, immigrants come from all over the world. There are European immigrants in this country who didn't come with documentation, [but] all he talks about are people of color and what he does and what he did in that was simply doing a Willie Horton on immigrants of color as a group. Now, we have real issues that we should deal with on immigration, but that is not a debate on policy. That's an attack on people."
