Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), who passed away Friday at age 90, once assailed illegal immigration as a net drain on working and middle-class Americans.

In 1993, while giving a press conference in the Senate building, Feinstein spoke about the prospects of the North American Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which was set to go into effect the following year. As part of NAFTA, Feinstein said Mexico ought to be required to enforce its side of the United States-Mexico border to stop illegal immigration in its tracks.

“I think you’ve seen the figures [for] state and local governments of what the cost is. It’s over $2 billion in California alone…that’s why the issue is now joined with two million illegal immigrants,” Feinstein told reporters before explaining how illegal immigration crushes Americans:

It’s a competition for space, whether the space is a job, the space is a home, [or] a place in a classroom, it becomes a competition for space. This is a country that’s based on immigration…and yet at times, you become so overtaxed you have to concentrate on saying, the people who should be here are those who come legally at this time…And for the time being, we’ve got to enforce our borders.

Then, in April 1994, while running for reelection in California, Feinstein joined the Federation for American Immigration Reform’s (FAIR) Dan Stein on Face the Nation to demand that the southern border be controlled and detail how illegal immigration was costing Americans billions in all kinds of social and economic costs at the time.

“Border control is a federal responsibility. We simply don’t enforce our borders adequately. In my state, you have about 2,000 people a day, illegally, who cross the border,” Feinstein said, continuing:

When it was Rinos wanting cheap labor.

Dems figured out later how to use them.

Trust actions. People can and will say anything, but what they do is their truth.

The border, illegal immigration, etc. are just not important to demonrat and rino politicians other than maybe when they’re campaigning for election, if even then.

DiFi’s WiFi is out, no doubt.

And The Stupid Party does not use this material in their southern border invasion argument.we have a gold mine of campaign material against the dems, and we never use it. It never ceases to amaze me how DUMB Republican politicians are.

[lee martell]

Back then, most elected Democrats still acted, spoke and thouhht in a somewhat normal manner.

[Reverend Wright]

They are not dumb, they are part of it.

In short, these illegals are thieves and beggers.
