Joe Scarborough suggested President Donald Trump’s immigration strategy is to have Marines shoot at “9-year-old girls” approaching the U.S. southern border if they throw rocks at soldiers.

“The thing that is so striking is Donald Trump actually believes by talking about marauding brown men coming to America that somehow this is his strategy to make the gender gap smaller, and shooting at 9-year-old girls if they throw rocks at fully armed U.S. Marines or soldiers?” Scarborough said Friday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

“How clueless is this guy?”

Scarborough said he doesn’t think Secretary of Defense James Mattis will agree with Trump’s plan to send soldiers to the border and said the president’s “political ploy” might cause Mattis to resign from the administration in protest.

“I just find it hard to believe that James Mattis is going to allow any of this to move forward,” Scarborough said.

“Obviously, the president is the commander-in-chief. Well, this seems to me before he sent more people for a political ploy to the Mexican border than Afghanistan, he would just walk away from the job, which tells me this is never going to happen.”
