In the 1800s/1900s the phrase “alligator bait” was used in newspapers/cartoons to depict Black children being eaten by alligators as white supremacists have a long standing fixation with alligators eating Black and Brown people. This isn't new and it's not about illegal immigration.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
