USA Trump fantasizes about cage fights against migrants

Donald Trump fantasized about bloody cage fights against migrants during his last campaign appearance in the important "swing state" of Pennsylvania. Trump told his audience in Pittsburgh that the US mixed martial arts organization UFC should set up a league in which professional fighters fight migrants. "In the end, I want the migrants to fight the champions. And I think the migrants could actually win - that's how nasty some of these guys are," said Trump.

A little later, he assured the crowd he had whipped up that serious crimes committed by migrants would be severely punished in future if his Republicans won the election. "I hereby call for the death penalty for any migrant who kills an American citizen or a police officer," the 78-year-old said to the cheers of numerous supporters. Trump has made the restriction of illegal immigration one of his central themes in the election campaign, repeatedly portraying migrants as enemies of America and using false claims to deliberately stir up sentiment against foreigners.
