The Trump administration has launched a new immigration-focused website, aliens.gov, using a science-fiction twist to drive home a serious border-security message. The site features a CGI-style video showing a UFO lifting a man over the U.S.-Mexico border wall, playing on the term “aliens” while warning Americans about illegal immigrants living in the country unlawfully. The website says that for decades, “aliens have been walking among us,” living in neighborhoods, shopping in the same stores, and attending the same classes as American children — with one key difference: “they do not belong here.”
The site notes that past administrations have aided and abetted the illegal immigrant invasion and credits President Donald Trump with being the first to directly warn Americans about the danger illegal immigration poses to families, communities, and the nation’s future.
The campaign comes shortly after the administration released a collection of unresolved files related to unidentified anomalous phenomena, commonly known as UFOs. Officials said the government remains unable to make definitive determinations in some cases and welcomed private-sector analysis.
Using the heightened interest in UFOs to creatively draw attention to the perils of illegal immigration is hilarious and brilliant. Aliens.gov is Trump messaging at its best: provocative, memorable, and impossible for the media to ignore.
Americans have every right to know who is entering their country, who is living here unlawfully, and past leaders who failed to protect the border must be shamed and exposed. This is a crisis that was created by weak and malevolent forces— and President Trump is making sure Americans see it clearly.
