Pelosi Says Border Wall 'Undermines Who We Are As a Country'

Building a border wall “undermines who we are as a country,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told a news conference on Thursday. She said she is “opposed to the wall”—“politically, substantively, officially, spiritually, religiously, personally.”

She also described recent ICE raids across the country as “another assault on our values.”

“In the past week, we have witnessed ICE raids across our nation targeting parents, students and a DACA-protected dreamer...We have seen press reports that federal immigration agents went to the El Paso County courthouse and arrested an undocumented woman who had just received a protective order after suffering domestic violence. The agents apparently detained the woman after receiving a tip, possibly from her alleged abuser. What is this?” Pelosi asked. “You know, It’s supposed to be—they’re only supposed to be—” (She trailed off and did not finish her thought.) …

Who the bleep are we, then, in your tiny mind, Pelosi?

1. Americans pay attention to immigration laws in other countries because when they travel, they’d like NOT to be stuck in a foreign prison.

2. Illegals know DAMN WELL that they are illegal here, they know they are breaking the law, but since they don’t have to face ANY retribution, they feel confident.

I guess what you are really saying, clueless old bitch, is that we are a nation who from time to time enjoys profiting from SLAVERY. Slavery for workers, and slavery for votes. Yes, that is who YOU are, but it’s not who America is. All you need to know is in our Constitution.

Every nation has borders.

Yes. And I’m sick, and sure many others are too, of being told who we are. These politicians have no clue who we are.

This, “That’s not who we are” phrase is used in the most condescending and pejorative manner by Obama, Pelosi as they talk down to the rest of America from their political dung heap.

I suggest they keep using this phrase because it is like nails on a chalkboard to millions of Americans. I have even seen Democrats blanch at the constant arrogant lecturing by these self appointed elitists.

“This ‘who we are”...phrase is so worn out.”

I was thinking the same thing, Awgie. “Who we are” is being used by people who are talking about long ago when it was “who THEY were”. “We” have now recovered, and the blinders are off. America for Americans should be the new phrase. I’m hoping TPTB will add a new paragraph to the base of the Statue of Liberty indicating new immigrants should be packing some job skills,vigor, and a work ethic in their baggage or don’t bother coming.

“In the past week, we have witnessed ICE raids across our nation targeting parents, students and a DACA-protected dreamer...”

She left out Flynn and Scapegoat. I mean since she’s listing other false lefty talking points might as well be thorough.

It is a law. The Secure Fence Act of 2006 has not been repealed. It passed with 26 Democrat senate votes (including both California senators) and 64 Democrat house votes.

Just like other immigration laws, it has simply not been enforced. Enforce the law! Or change the law. But until changed, enforce the law!

Outside her district and the corrupt media, Pelosi is despised.

Dear Nancy. There is no “we” that includes YOU and I. One of us is American. The other is a globalist.

Pewlosi is a traitor to the Republic who has done nothing more than stuff her pockets while being an accessory to destroying the sovereignty of the country.

...

Those arrests were pretty much the same as the arrests under Obama.

I read somewhere that the illegals are costing us over 50 billion per year. Seems high. Billions of dollars are confiscated from the drug trade.

It makes good economic sense Ms. Pelosi.

Illegal Aliens and un-assimilated immigrants undermine who we are as a country.
Pelosi is not acting in the interests of the Republic. She should be considered a foreign agent.

The border wall certainly undermines the third world country she wants us to degenerate into.
