Trump fundraising email..."Are you an Illegal Alien?!?" Will you donate, "or does ICE need to come and track you down?"

In a threatening and odd fundraising email for President Donald Trump, MAGA donors were warned that anyone who doesn't respond to a survey validating they are American citizens would be tracked down by ICE.

The request for money — and threat — was sent by the Never Surrender, Inc PAC this week and had the subject line "Are you an illegal alien?" The Daily Beast reported. The move was questioned and criticized as a bizarre and unusual appeal to request funding.

“I reached out last week about my Citizens Only Survey,” the email said. “Your file says you’re a top MAGA patriot... But my records to my survey STILL say: RESPONSE PENDING. Don’t tell me, you’re an Illegal Alien?!? That cannot be true!”

“This is your FINAL MOMENT to Prove me wrong—please. Are you a proud American Citizen or does ICE need to come and track you down?”

Anyone who's really an illegal alien won't even be on their mailing list.

And if by some chance they are on the list, why would they respond and identify themselves as such?
