With the rejection of President Trump’s latest border security compromise Democrats have rejected security for Americans on many different levels.
This set of rejections adds to the growing list of recent weeks in which nearly every decision they make works against the citizens of the United States.
Even after repeated compromises (President Trump moving to a “steel slat” and away from a “wall”) and self-admissions of a barrier’s effectiveness (House Majority Leader Hoyer confessing “well of course walls work,”) they continue to harbor anti-American values and sentiment in their approach towards the current crisis.
Thus far they have rejected the number one demand of the voters in 2016 to reinforce our southern border with a permanent barrier.
They have decided that in order to ensure that they prevent such a barrier from being built that they would prefer to starve government workers merely to spite the American people.
They also decided to attempt to block the President’s lawful right to update the American people on the progress of the nation and what his administration intends to accomplish in 2109.
All three of these moves intentionally hurts Americans, leaves them less safe, and attempts to leave them uninformed in a nation that guarantees transparency.
In rejecting President Trump’s offer on Saturday they went a few steps further.
Besides the paltry sum of $5.7 billion he is requesting for the border barrier (paltry because the Democrats approved $40 billion during the Obama administration for identical purposes) they also rejected a few other key points.
A key point they are now rejecting (that they previously begged for—though this is the third time the President has offered it) is an extension of protections on nearly 700,000 “dreamers” (non-citizens who entered the country illegally but of no fault of their own due to ages at the time.) Rejecting these protections now for a third time, DACA kids really should ask themselves, “Who in this debate is honestly thinking about what’s best for me?”
An additional offer from the President would extend protections for 300,000 additional persons whose home countries are too dangerous to guarantee a safe return. The TPS offer when coupled with the DACA kids provides protections for nearly 1,000,000 non-citizens that evidently the Democrats for all their big talk of compassion don’t appear to give two hoots about.
His offer also includes close to a billion dollars in updated drug detection technology to be placed exclusively at ports of entry to obviously bring to a halt the flow of more than 90% of the heroin entering the country. This heroin is killing upwards of 300 of our children per week.
His proposal also wants to offer more Americans jobs, increasing the ranks of our border agents by more than 2700. He also pledged more law enforcement to assist the border agents for necessary manpower to actually secure the border and shut down illegal activity and persons attempting to harm America.
And for all those who are deeply concerned about the legitimate asylum seekers trying to eke out a better life in America, his program would provide 75 additional immigration judges to specifically lessen the wait times and backlog of asylum seekers.
Beyond this specific package he even dangled the willingness to bring to the table comprehensive immigration reform in short order.
So now Democrats aren’t merely opposing (with great hostility) the supporters of the President, the Republicans in Congress and the Senate, conservatives across the nation and at least half of the American voters.
Now they are also punishing 800,000 government workers (who largely voted for them.)
They are punishing the families whose lives have been and will be impacted by the continuing flow of heroin into our communities, along with the 300 families every week (15,000+ annually) whose children are dying from it.
They have now thrice rejected protections for a million seeking safe haven in America including 700,000 children who found themselves here through no choice that they made.
And they are preventing from the future security of thousands of asylum seekers, and most significantly the citizens of the nation itself with a truly secured border.
The Democrats are opposing Americans, those who wish to be Americans, and those that find themselves stuck somewhere in between.
The important question that each American should ask...
Is why?
bttt
Real Americans don’t tolerate political corruption.
Well then, politics is complex, because roughly half of Americans not only tolerate, but encourage corruption so long as its their sort of corruption. If they aren't real, are they "imaginary?"
IMO, it all comes down to power. Democrats want to wield power. Conservatives just want the power to resist those who would hold power over us, IOW, be left alone. Listen to them talk. Its all about power, rule, obey, etc., etc. Nothing in their speech about individual freedom, unless you want to lop off your willie and change your name to Susan.
Because self hatred is the liberals’ Permian Basin, and the Democrat Party is drilling it like Laz.
because they cannot win a fair and honest discussion, debate or election.
so they have institutionalized voter fraud across the USA while simultaneously selling out to overseas interests to help cement their tenuous positions
having done so-they cannot afford to “back down” without fear of jail or worse
Why? Because they hate President Trump and the Americans who voted for President Trump. They want to create a one world Socialistic government controlled by the AntiAmerican Globalists in the UN.
They want one-party rule. They almost got it. If hilary had been elected, she’d have simply ruled by fiat like brocko did. It is a proven fact that repubs would’ve done nothing to stop it.
They are doing the oppose/resist thing and getting away with it because they have the support of the universities, the media, hollywood, and about 1/3 of the repubs. Who could ask for anything more?
Their ultimate aim is to rid the country/culture/power structures of every vestige of Christianity.
When did Democrats become real Americans?
The House Committee of Un-American Activities - the entire Democrat delegation to the US House of Representatives.
House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives, established in 1938 under Martin Dies as chairman, that conducted investigations through the 1940s and ’50s into alleged communist activities. Those investigated included many artists and entertainers, including the Hollywood Ten, Elia Kazan, Pete Seeger, Bertolt Brecht, and Arthur Miller. Richard Nixon was an active member in the late 1940s, and the committee’s most celebrated case was perhaps that of Alger Hiss. Its actions resulted in several contempt-of-Congress convictions and the blacklisting of many who refused to answer its questions. Highly controversial for its tactics, it was criticized for violating First Amendment rights. Its influence had waned by the 1960s; in 1969 it was renamed the Internal Security Committee, and in 1975 it was dissolved.
This was related to, but separate and apart from the hearings run by Senator Joe McCarthy in the 1950s. The Army-McCarthy hearings were televised, and the cruel eye of the TV cameras were trained on Senator McCarthy, relentlessly recording his every moment of hesitation and sometimes very clumsy showmanship.
That did not make McCarthy wrong, but he was thoroughly discredited in his time, and his contribution to the moral rectitude of America has never been fully recognized.
The asylum is not in the control of the inmates.
The Democrat Party is the tail of the MSM dog.The rules for commercial success in general-interest journalism - “If it bleeds, it leads,” “Man Bites Dog, not Dog Bites Man,” and “there’s nothing more worthless than yesterday’s newspaper (so make your deadline now) guarantee that journalism is negative and superficial.
Journalism’s use of the Great ‘Objectivity’ Con to claim what can only be an aspiration, not a fact, makes journalism politically monolithic. Democrats simply ride the propaganda wind of journalism.
The whole thing is pure cynicism, putting good for evil, and evil for good.
Activist politics strongly attracts narcissists. These are people who see activism as an opportunity to show the world how important they are and how essential they are to ‘saving’ the world. Think Hillary Clinton.
The Democrats attract these kinds of people, because only in an activist party with a penchant for controlling society can narcissistic activists pursue their grandiose dreams. These kinds of people don't want private American citizens to make their own way, and control their own destiny, because that would reduce the central importance the activists think they have in the world.
Arrogance is prolific on the left. Hillary, Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, Obama, Jarrett, Reid, John Kerry, etc. etc. It is all about them. The reason they hate Trump is because he has exposed them as the pathetic little people of limited talents that they actually are. We truly would be better off with people picked randomly off the street than with most career politicians.
“Why are Democrats opposing Americans in every way?”
Because they’re becoming increasingly stupid and self-insulated.
They will pay a huge price in 2020.
(I’ll point this out again - Trump is now at 50% approval with Hispanics. That is very encouraging!)
I think the answer to “Why?” raised by this writer lies in what the Democratic Party has, in recent decades, evolved to as their core “faith” and “belief”. They seek...….
…..”a system of social organization in which all economic and social activity is controlled by a totalitarian state dominated by a single and self-perpetuating political party.”
The definition above is of the word “Communism”. Make no mistake about the soul of the mis named Democratic Party and the sooner America wakes up to it the better.
Because they are Evil.
And Evil knows what to do without even thinking about it.
I used the word “imaginary” as a mathematical pun.
I have been pushing this theory for years.
The author does a fine job of cataloging the outrages of the Democrat party in opposing Donald Trump but he does not answer the question posed by the headline, why are the Democrats so obsessed?
One could conclude that they are frustrated in their ability to push their progressive agenda and no doubt that would be a contributing factor to their state of mind. Equally, they are frustrated, no doubt, by the surprising loss of the election by Hillary Clinton. Some no doubt are disdainful of Trump for his style and simply cannot believe that such a man could occupy the highest office in the land.
All of these things probably have some truth attached to them but I believe the left is outraged rather than merely frustrated because they believe the Donald Trump is the epitome of white racism. The allegation of course is false but it is apparently unquestioned among the ranks of progressives. We conservatives tend to have our own tests of a politician's mindset, for example, is he or is he not against abortion? But progressives torque every issue into one of race. It is the beginning and end of every argument for them.
As tribalism prevails in every corner of our culture, as it perverts every one of our institutions, the first question a progressive asks is, is the protagonist of the correct identifiable tribe? The last question asked is are we progressives losing on a favored issue, if so the answer is invariably racism. It is all over MSNBC today as it presents a rank racist, Al Sharpton, to libel Donald Trump as a racist. The irony is entirely unacknowledged by MSNBC.
But their hypocrisy only illuminates the power that race has in American politics today.
Why are Democrats opposing Americans in every way?
These unamerican a$$holes are just trying to make Trump look bad prior to 2020. Eff them.
