Lady DACA: Meet the Pro-Amnesty, Bush Bureaucrat Who Became Trump’s Top Pick for DHS
Breitbart News Network ^ | 26 Nov 2017 | JOHN BINDER

Posted on 11/26/2017 9:17:35 AM PST by george76

One week after Hurricane Katrina made landfall in August 2005, President George W. Bush consulted with his team of crisis advisers and inundated the Gulf Coast with cheap, illegal alien labor.

Bush’s August decision to lift the Davis-Bacon wage law made it very easy for contractors to hire cheap labor. Mike Chertoff, the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), quickly suspended sanctions on the employers who did hire illegal aliens.

The result was another flood – this time not of water, but of illegal aliens, 30,000 of which came to the Gulf Coast to take cleanup and blue-collar construction jobs that would have otherwise gone to the local Americans who just had their livelihood picked up and swept into the Gulf of Mexico.

One member of Bush’s flood-the-labor-market crisis team was Kirstjen Nielsen, then a Special Assistant to the President for Homeland Security.

...

Despite having nearly three hours to speak before the Senate committee, Nielsen did not mention a single immigration principle from Trump’s detailed, 70-point list that had been largely crafted by Stephen Miller.

The ignore-at-all-costs maneuver was a throwback to Nielsen’s days in the Bush administration, when she and her colleagues used the Lessons Learned report after Katrina to ignore the illegal alien invasion.

Nielsen’s support for lax immigration laws is unlikely to cause problems with the GOP political establishment or Democrats, both of which have attempted to scramble together multiple amnesty bills. Her confirmation is bound to create tension between Trump and his base of supporters.

A shoe-in with the political elite, the lady of DACA is a far cry from where the Trump movement started, and hardly a step away from where she began in Bush’s White House, as a bureaucrat.

Get the FBI and the CIA back in fit, trim, and effective-running condition and GET RID of Bush’s STUPID DHS.

And, above all, STAY OUT DA BUSHES! And that admonition applies to actions relative to Bush globalist, open-borders appointees burrowed into the bureaucracy. They are a treacherous lot—including the barren Nielsen who wants to see America overrun by illegal alien invaders.

She’s an outspoken, ardent supporter of open borders and unlimited immigration. Go DJT! More MAGA. Winning!

Ivanka & Jarad for Presidents 2020!

Another idiotic move by dirtbag john kelly, always trying to undercut the president. Kelly is a disgrace. A typical gop establishment democrat doing everything he can to destroy MAGA from the inside along with his pal mcmaster.

“...Is Ivanka involved in this?”
****************************
That’s very possible. Ivanka has lived and is living a very sheltered life. She has not really seen or understood the devastation and despair that the Swamp’s open-borders, globalist actions have inflicted upon vast numbers of the American populous. Her main interest now is to virtue signal to the Leftists who inhabit the world in which she has always lived.

Ivanka does not understand the immense further damage that DACA and ANY form of amnesty will have on America. I hope her father does. And I hope that President Trump’s “heart” for young illegals will not result in further heartless destruction of young Americans — but it may!

This is a very troubling appointment.

Our only hope of keeping our country is keeping the rule of law.
We must resist ALL amnesty attempts.

They have tried multiple times since 2006 to get that final amnesty that will spell the end of the Republic.

They sold us Rubio to get the last one in 2013.

So why does Kelly get the blame? Trump is the head honcho and ultimately its his call.

The more I learn about her, the more I hope I wish Trump would ask her to back out.

Too bad Ivanka’s extensive cosmetic surgery menu didn’t include some patriotism implants.

Kelly picked her to be his chief of staff. Kelly brought her to the white house. Kelly obviously persuaded trump that she shoulld be appointed
To the position. And kelly knows that she is an open borders bushbot dirtbag, just like he is.

True, trump bears the ultimate blame because he could have refused to appoint her but he feels obligated to kelly apparently for taking the chief of staff position. I Guess this means that the slimeball kelly will continue to undercut trump policy from the inside.

The ‘Cult’ of Trump does not one to criticize.

The Left has an instant ready-to-protest Soros-oiled machinery that engages in massive protests with their media enablers in tow whenever someone is appointed to a top post that runs counter to their interest.

The Right have none or worse are complicit RINOs.
