Border Patrol's Attempt At Using Santa To Make Point About Immigration Backfires Spectacularly

His elves, however, are in a cage sleeping under tinfoil

The elves have been separated and will be detained indefinitely at a facility near Brownsville. They will not be allowed contact with Santa or Mrs. Claus

This is super vile.

What sort of messed-up Regime jokes about detaining Santa and then has him pose with his papers?

Tracking Santa is a lovely tradition. Granting permission for Santa to enter US airspace is appalling. It's not really about you.

Golly CBP, that's swell of you guys! I don't suppose you'd consider letting Santa deliver Flu vaccine to all the good little boys and girls currently being held in our multiple children's detention centers/concentration camps, would you?

Remember: We had Santa Claus for hundreds of years before CBP existed, and he didn't need no stinkin' permit to carry out a goodwill mission before now.

It's a sad commentary on the U.S. gov't under #IMPOTUS that they joke about oppressing saints.https://t.co/3hWc4JEXYF

Heinous.

Please add “#BanTheNazis" & “arrest @CBPMarkMorgan" to your list of 2020 goals. #CrimesAgainstHumanity #TrumpCrimeFamilyMustGo

Why should we be surprised, northern white dudes never get put in your cages even though they have the most visa overstays pic.twitter.com/zOcPWBlsEH

Santa is from one of the right (white) countries. Jesus (the real Jesus) would have been detained. Maybe ICE/CBP doesn't need to be abolished but it is very much in need of an overhaul.

The Basilica San Nicola in Bari, Italy houses some of Saint Nicholas' remains and based on the statue in the church, something tells me CBP might find something wrong with him *cough*you'reracists*cough* pic.twitter.com/Pi9QdHsJfF
