Chuck Schumer: Democrats Will Reject Any Legislation to Fix Border Crisis
Breitbart ^ | 19 Jun 2018 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 06/20/2018 10:47:21 AM PDT by detective

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said Tuesday that Democrats would reject legislation to address the crisis at the U.S-Mexico border, where children have been separated from adults after crossing illegally.

“There are so many obstacles to legislation and when the president can do it with his own pen, it makes no sense,” Schumer said, as quoted by The Hill. “Legislation is not the way to go here when it’s so easy for the president to sign it.” The Hill‘s Alexander Bolton observed: “Schumer said [Democrats] want to keep the focus on Trump.”

This is Democrats insisting upon tyranny rather than enforcement of the law.

He wants to live in a country where legislation is at the whim of a presidents signature?

No thanks Chuck, that’s stupid and antithetical to a free Republic. But you’re too communist to realize that.

If Mitch was not OWNED he would get rid of the 60 rule barrier in the Senate & Chuck would be cast away quickly.

If I were Trump, I’d write a time-limited executive order and it would end seven days after the election in November. Either they stand up and do real legislation or it goes back to the norm. You can blame Democrats for failure.

Anything done with the President’s pen can be undone with the next President’s pen. Only legislation will provide a REAL fix that is permanent. I have been listening to this absurd immigration crap since the early 1980’s. Time to fix it for good!!!!!

Democrats think separating children from their parents is so terrible because of the pain it causes those poor children.

That’s why they only favor separating children from parents if they can immediately stop the children’s pain - by having a Planned Parent abortionist kill them.

The ploy here for the Dems is if POTUS Trump signs any executive order that creates law, the Dems can impeach him for overstepping his authority.

EVERYTHING the Dems have tried to use against this POTUS have not worked, but the kids/separation appears to be a winning election idea.

“Commie rats think this is a winning issue in November”

That’s exactly right. If they don’t have a fabricated issue, they’re dead in the water. They bitched about DACA, and when PDJT gave them an offer that was much better than they’d asked for, they turned it down. It’s all about something to whine about and agitate the retarded constituencies.

Another problem is that if PDJT does knuckle under to the current Dem whining, he WILL lose the 2020 election. I hope he knows that.

Simple:

Arrest and detain EVERYBODY entering illegally and leave the “families” in the same cells.

Let this condition continue until Dems fund the damn wall.

“Legislation is not the way to go here when it’s so easy for the president to sign it.”

Yep, then sue the President for it on Constitutional grounds, and make it the cause for impeachment.

Wait for Congress to do it, Mr. President.

Yep, proving once again, Democrats will keep this issue and issue. They have no desire to fix anything, will block any resolution and continue to blame others while keeping the illegals hostage

This is Democrats going after women voters. They know that many women get emotional at the slightest mention of children, and of course, being in an emotional state is when the brain shuts off. Women voters are always the Democrats' ace-in-the-hole as they are adept at pushing their buttons.

I’m sure that they had planned to unleash this “crisis” in Sept or Oct, but because of a wide range of issues trending Trump’s way, they decided to unleash it now as a distraction. No telling what they will unleash in Sept or Oct. Maybe get their pal Mueller to leak something damaging.
