The chairman of the House Democratic Caucus said Friday that reports that the Trump administration had considered deploying tens of thousands of National Guard troops to apprehend undocumented immigrants were “outrageous” and “very reminiscent of what led up to World War II.”
Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-N.Y.) made the statement in an interview for C-SPAN’s “Newsmakers” program shortly after the Associated Press broke news of the draft Department of Homeland Security memo.

Congressman Crowley could do a brain swap with a chimpanzee but the chimpanzee might complain about being short changed.

Joseph Crowley Democrat party certified idiot.
Guess he didn’t get the memo that it was a sting operation to flush out the leaker.
That’s a great post. It says it all.
Eisenhower: Operation Wetback in the 1950’s.
Someone ask this congressman if Ike was “scary”
I would gladly let all of the non-felon illegal immigrants stay if we could find a way to deport all of the liberal fascists in our legislature, judiciary, federal, state, and local governments, educational institutions, and news media.
But we will just have to settle for following the existing laws until such a time we can reach an amicable agreement to change them.
democrats are enemy islamist facilitators.
