Trump Suggested Shooting Migrants in Legs to Slow Them Down: NYT
The president also is said to have suggested making the wall electrified, and installing spikes capable of piercing human flesh. Aides reportedly had to inform Trump that shooting migrants in the legs or shooting them when they threw rocks was not allowed.
President Trump privately floated costly and dangerous ideas to stop the flow of migrants from the southern border, reportedly telling senior staff that shooting migrants in the legs to slow them down might work as a deterrent.

I posted a thread on that exact same thing.
Sure lets capture the pythons and alligators in Florida and transfer them to the Rio Grande River.
