Democrats threaten to shut down government to protect illegal alien criminals

So much for insensitivity and heartlessness, every time Republicans try to do this.

Senate Democrats recently signaled that they would be willing to shut down much of the government—again—rather than vote for a package that includes funds for immigration enforcement.

This seems a bit tone deaf, as securing the border and immigration enforcement were two of the main reasons President Trump was elected.

Several things are at play here.

Democrats are so scared of losing the new and burgeoning voting bloc they illegally imported into the U.S. that they will do anything to protect it, American citizens be damned. If a few thousand Americans have to be robbed, raped, or killed—and tens of thousands annually lose their lives to fentanyl and other drugs, well, that’s the way it has to be.

So, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (Asshat-N.Y.) said Democrats wouldn’t vote to advance the broader package if the current measure funding the Department of Homeland Security is included.

Translation: “If we don’t get what we want, we’ll take the ball and go home. We’ll shut the effing government down if you don’t give us what we want, even if we aren’t in power. Which means that we are always in power, which is how it should be, Allahu Akhbar! Ha, ha, ha, ha!”

Another shutdown to protect their fraud money and perpetual voter base? Funny, they didn’t use to like shutdowns of the vital, life-giving government. In fact, they continually blamed every shutdown on Republicans and made it seem as if thousands would die because of their insensitivity and heartlessness.

And now they pretend to be outraged at the deaths of the two protesters/terrorists shot by ICE, when, in reality, they are driven to peak arousal over each new death of the useful idiots they’ve essentially instructed to assault

The left says nothing if illegal immigrants kill innocent citizens.

The illegal alien criminals that are being arrested probably never vote/work/pay-taxes so why would the democrats care about them , to keep the population terrorized ?

"illegal alien criminals": A redundant phrase, all illegal aliens are criminals.

"...why would the democrats care about them, to keep the population terrorized ..."

Yes. That is the key reason the Democrats protect them. They serve just that purpose heading into an election year.

Maybe they don’t understand that the ICE guys were fully funded until 2029 in the Big Beautiful Bill.

The Democrats, and some choice Republicans, will absolutely shut down government to protect the grift, the illegal voters, and to make media headlines.

Expect it.

Anyone else starting to see the Democrats as a diaper-soiled, spoiled brat, kicking and screaming because they didn't get their way, so they make everyone on both sides of the isle pay until they get their way?
