It wasn’t for Jewish families fleeing Germany.

She obviously never heard of the SS St.Louis, a steamer loaded with Jews seeking to come ashore....in 1939. They were turned away and sent back to Germany by FDR.

Democrats do not have compassionate hearts.

This guy is trying to fool people in 2020 that he hasn’t supported every amnesty attempt since 2006.

Yeah, if this guy were smart he'd keep his mouth shut about illegal immigration for a few years. Those who know him don't trust him yet.

The Democrats will push another amnesty bill through the House in 2019, and the Senate will vote on it. Let's see how Lindsey votes when there's something other than rhetoric on the line. I hope that he stays on the path he's currently on, but I very much doubt it. Leopards don't change their spots so easily.

Ocassiuonal Kotex is an Alinskyite. Thats all she has going for her.

Her musings about the caravan and comparing them to the Holocaust is right out of the Alinsky Playbook, “Rules for Radicals.”

Take your pick:

**********************************************

1. “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood.

2. “Never go outside the expertise of your people.” It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone.

3. “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty.

4. “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules.

5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.

6. “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones.

7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Don’t become old news.

8. “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new.

9. “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist.

10. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.” It is this unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign.

11. “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog.

12. “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.” Never let the enemy score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem.

13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.

Why not? He supports President Trump, besides McCain is dead and you need to get over it.

Because immediately trusting a radical, sudden change in someone after they’ve shown you who they are over the course of years is foolish. It takes time to trust.

Did I miss where Cortez said she would sponsor and support one of these fine people you know to help out?

Agreed.

He’s screwed over the GOP on too many occasions. I’m glad he’s coming around on various things - but he’s got quite a way to go before I can completely trust him.

That’s absolutely correct and thanks for the stats

Hearing that we are a nation of immigrants is like people saying “we need to save our democracy”

The ironic part of it is that we are all native Americans

Living in a Constitutional Republic

Maybe.
Or maybe, with McCain’s death, he had his moment on the “road to Damascus.”

Don’t be naïve, he has repeatedly backed every amnesty attempt since 2006, has repeatedly said he will work for amnesty until he is thrown out of office, has repeatedly said a vote for him is a vote for amnesty, has repeatedly said he’s going to “tell the bigots to shut up” and has consistently been on the side of illegal aliens and their employers.

Cheap Labor Express stooges do not get “unbought”.
