Trump invites victims of illegal immigrant crime as guests for speech to Congress
Washington Times ^ | Feb 28, 2017 | Stephen Dinan

First lady Melania Trump will sit with the families of three people killed by illegal immigrants as her husband, President Trump, delivers his first address to a joint session of Congress Tuesday night.

The move seemed designed to counter the slew of Democrats who were hosting illegal immigrants as their guests, saying they wanted to put a human face on Mr. Trump’s deportation policies. Democrats even tapped an illegal immigrant “Dreamer” to deliver their party’s official Spanish language response to the president’s speech.

The dichotomy between valedictorians and felons in the illegal immigrant community has been on display over the last two years as Mr. Trump has tried to give the victims of illegal immigrant crime the same profile as the illegal immigrants themselves.

Great riposte Mr. Trump. Invite the victims of illegal immigration and call on them during the speech.

I would go a little further. Station ICE agents at the entrance. Check the immigration status of the dem invitees. Watch the fun.

A basic decades-long staple of the left was accusing the right of never being sympathetic.

I hope Trump trundles out every heart-rending illegal alien murder story Under the Sun.

I hope he demagogues the living s*** out of it.

I won’t miss it for the world, tonight will be my Oscars.

Excellent. Push it right back in the faces of the marxist agitators.

I want to see ICE agents all over the place. If the “democrats” won’t fumigate their own party, let ICE do it.

I know the Steinles are Dems, but I wish they would show up for this. I suspect they have had trouble with their natural inclinations ever since their daughter was murdered by a guy who had been deported multiple times. Beautiful girl, heartbreaking.

Just wait until they start providing an Arabic translation of of their rebuttals to Trump’s speeches. I’m sure that’s coming.

Amazing - the Dems will bring in an illegal to speak for them - would be sweet irony if he gets scooped up and deported....

I guess this means these people aren’t so much in the shadows anymore, right? They are right in our faces!

Honestly,

I do consider the US as more of a conservative country than the UK, but I just cant see illegal immigrants being promoted in quite the same way by one of the major two parties here. Its actually quite extraordinary - what kind of absolute moron would positively view such a thing? Who the hell are they representing? Its insane, its actually crazy.

I guess we got around all our illegal immigrant problems here by making it legal - though that is about to come to an end.

Yes. I’d like to see the Sgt at Arms turn over all the dreamers to ICE agents right there in the chamber.
