Trump Says Democrats Care More About Illegal Immigrants Than US Military

President Donald Trump called out Democrats in Congress for failing to support a short-term spending bill that would have avoided a partial shutdown of the government.

Democrats voted overwhelmingly against the measure Friday night, resulting in the shutdown taking place

Last month Trump signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which provides for an overall increase in military spending and the acquisition of new defense equipment. Among the budgeted expenses are F-35 Joint Strike fighters, ground combat vehicles, and Virginia-class submarines.

However, the bill has yet to receive funding from Congress.

The timing of the shutdown is especially concerning given the security threats the United States faces both abroad and at home. North Korea has repeatedly threatened to strike the United States with a nuclear weapon in recent months, and the United States saw several terror attacks last year.

The last time the government shutdown was in 2013 under President Barack Obama.

And, the democrats can NOT argue that he is wrong.

They care about illegal aliens more than they do about Americans!

They don’t need to. Critical Mass.

[Lean-Right]

What would transpire if every freeper
and anyone they could convince, we’re to inundate Smuckeys e-mail protesting his actions? Do you think he would get the
message? An e-mail bomb?

Dems’ words about the 2013 government shutdown come back to haunt them — and prove their hypocrisy

Jan 21, 2018 by Chris Enloe


2013, Schumer said on CNN’s “The Lead”

... 2013, Schumer said on CNN’s “The Lead”:
“I believe in immigration reform.
What if I persuaded my caucus to say,
‘I’m going to shut the government down,
I am going to not pay our bills unless I get my way?’
It’s a politics of idiocy, of confrontation, of paralysis.”

ABC News
Published on Oct 6, 2013

“The basic line is:
No matter how strongly one feels about an issue,
you shouldn’t hold millions of people hostage.
That’s what the other side is doing.
That’s wrong and we can’t give in to that,”
he said on ABC’s “This Week.”

He further explained:
[Then-House] Speaker [John] Boehner comes in and he says, basically,
it’s sorta like this.
Someone goes into your house, takes your wife and children hostage,
and then says
‘Let’s negotiate over the price of your house.’
You know, we could do the same thing on immigration.
We believe strongly in immigration reform.
We could say,
‘We’re shutting down the government,
we’re not gonna raise the debt ceiling, until you pass immigration reform.’
It would be governmental chaos.

... At the time, Pelosi called the GOP “legislative arsonists.”
“I call them ‘legislative arsonists.’
They’re there to burn down what we should be building up in terms of investments and education and scientific research,
and all that it is that makes our country great and competitive,” she said.

According to the Washington Examiner, Pelosi later called the shutdown an “unthinkable tactic” employed by the GOP.
“I join the American people in their disgust in what happened in terms of the shutdown of government.
That’s an unthinkable tactic to use in a political debate,” she said. ...

The Politics of Idiocy.

Sounds like something I’ve been engaged with here recently.

Interesting perspective. TY.

[1_Inch_Group]

He wouldn’t get them.

His assistants might see the first one or two if it’s a form letter. After that, it’s filtered out.

Waste of time, IMO.

[Theophilus]

Thank God for and may God Bless President Trump.

[Dogbert41]

Schumer. 😱 Anyway, we wrestle not with flesh and blood, but principalities and powers in the heavenly realm.

[Yosemitest]

Let's examine this a little closer .

... but against principalities,
against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places. ...

Now to put it in CONTEXT:

... Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Put on the whole armour of God,
that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities,
against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places. ...
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God,
that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day,
and having done all,
to stand.
Stand therefore,
having your loins girt about with truth,
and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
above all, taking the shield of faith,
wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
And take the helmet of salvation,
and the sword of the Spirit,
which is the word of God:
praying always
with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit,
and watching thereunto
with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

and for me, that utterance may be given unto me,
that I may open my mouth boldly,
to make known the mystery of the gospel,
for which I am an ambassador in bonds:
that therein I may speak boldly,
as I ought to speak.

Thanks for the reminder of just WHAT we're fighting against.

They screen you out if you are not a “ constituent”
But they grandstand as a national leader making national policy
Pretty bad situation

[Joe Bfstplk]

They care about illegal aliens more than they do about Americans!
<<>>

Thank you. Aliens is the proper term. Softening to “immigrants” lends to the
left’s credibility.

[mad_as_he$$]

Thanks for the revisit.

The fact that Trump hasn’t nailed Schmuckie directly on twitter is interesting. Not sure what that indicates. Schmuckie laid it on Trump pretty thick from the well of the senate. Today will be interesting.

I work in the fundraising realm and from what I’ve heard around the “watercooler”, the democrats have been told that this is the hill to die on. They feel that without illegals, they can’t win any future national elections. They want to use illegals to permanantly flip Florida, VA and possibly a mid-west state permanantly and put Texas, NC and Georgia in play.

They’ll back down, but not after their fundraising ticks up.

[newnhdad]

Oh, their communications shop has also been working with themedia to make the loss look like a win. Look for that coordnated message starting this morning too..

They won by losing.

[blackdog]

Voter importing. Show a trend illegals are voting Republican and you will see a wall in a week.
