Elizabeth Warren takes on Trump with immigration overhaul
The Politico ^ | July 11, 2019 | Alex Thompson

Posted on 07/12/2019 12:28:12 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Elizabeth Warren on Thursday unveiled her plan to reform the nation’s immigration system amid a deepening crisis over detention at the southern border and a fraught debate across the country and within the Democratic Party on the way forward.

Among other things, the proposal calls for allowing more immigrants to come into the country legally, lifting the refugee cap from 30,000 under the Trump administration to 125,000 and then 175,000; a revamp of the immigration court system to establish independence from Justice Department leaders; and the creation of an "Office of New Americans" tasked with facilitating integration, including teaching English.

Warren also calls to reverse several of President Donald Trump’s executive actions on immigration such as his travel ban (often referred to on the left as the “Muslim ban”) and the termination of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA.

“We must address the humanitarian mess at the border and reverse this president’s discriminatory policies,” Warren wrote in a Medium post describing her plan. “But that won’t be nearly enough to fix our immigration system. We need expanded legal immigration that will grow our economy, reunite families, and meet our labor market demands.”

"Office of New Americans"

Several four-letter words come to mind... but "NO" will do.

"Elizabeth Warren on Thursday unveiled her plan [??? emphasis added] to reform the nation’s immigration system..."

Post-17th Amendment ratification Sen. Warren's so-called “plan” sounds more like a list of demands to accommodate undocumented Democrats.

Insights welcome.

Lot of words to just say... "open borders".

Kind of like "choice" sounds a lot better than...kill.

Stop immigration indefinitely. Our cities do not need more traffic or pollution or CO2 for global warming. Our suburbs do not need to become sprawlier. Villages do not need to grow into cities, and wilderness does not need to become villages. Stop global warming induced by immigration

Sad part is most of the GOP Senators agree with her.

Now is the time to get rid of the Bush League Republicans, starting with Flimsey Grahamnesty.

Bush League Republicans want to help the Democrats get a permanent majority through amnesty.
Before President Trump the citizens had virtually NO representation.
They are hoping to block him and wait out his term(s) and continue the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA)

For 2020, the ones up are, Flimsey Grahamnesty, Tillis, Gardner, McSally, Daines, Collins, Cornyn, Capito, Enzi, Rounds, Sasse, Hyde-Smith, Ernst and McConnell.
They all should have primary challengers.

They are all Bush League Republicans.
They need to be replaced with real Republicans that side with the citizens and the rule of law.

The only ones worthy of re-election are Inhofe, Sullivan, Cotton, Perdue, Risch and Cassidy.

So she just wants to make the illegal occupation and destruction of America legal. Well she does have 1/1024 of Central American DNA so guess it fits she wants to remake America.

What crisis?

You guys have been saying there is no crisis.

Oh, and the rest of your plan is unworkable...

Elizabeth Warren Takes a DNA test

“Ms Warren, we have the results of your DNA test.”
“How much aboriginal ancestry do I have?”
“Well, there is good news and bad news.”
“What’s the bad news?”
“There’s no Indian blood. You are 20 percent Irish, 33 percent German, 47 percent Roma gypsy. You are hot-headed, bent on world domination, and completely untrustworthy.”
“Damn. What’s the good news?”
“You’re in the correct line of work.”

We need to encourage the Democrats to go to the Extreme Left during the primaries. Get them to commit themselves to the destruction of the USA once they are elected to office. (they are almost to that point now!)

They need to make George McGovern seem like a Conservative by comparison.

At that point, it will be impossible for them to "pivot to the middle" during the general election campaign.

She and others should build a gated community in Elizabethtown, Honduras.

Hillaryham, El Salvador?

Bernieburg, Mexico?

Put that excess Silicon Valley & Seattle money to work.

“Why have a ‘cap’ at all?...................... “

Any talk of a cap is laughable at best.

We already have over 100,000 per month coming in a claiming asylum.

It’s a friggin’ JOKE.
