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.

I seriously had no idea about these tropes. Thanks for the lesson.
