Democrats' Fears Mount Over Overhauling Immigration
Newsmax ^ | 18 February 2021 | Jeffrey Rodack

Democrats are growing concerned over the White House’s plans to overhaul the Trump administration’s policies on immigration.

Politico reported that Democrats in states where immigration is a key issue fear that President Joe Biden is walking into a political buzzsaw by moving too quickly to change former President Donald Trump’s immigration policies. Some say the party’s messaging and policy proposals are too much, too soon.

“The way we’re doing it right now is catastrophic and is a recipe for disaster in the middle of a pandemic,” said Rep. Vicente Gonzalez, D-Texas.

“Our party should be concerned. If we go off the rails, it’s going to be bad for us,” Gonzalez said. “Biden is going to be dealing with a minority in Congress if he continues down some of these paths.”

The overhaul would offer an eight-year pathway to citizenship to the estimated 11 million people in the U.S. without legal status.

Details of the immigration plan were expected on Thursday. But it is anticipated that they would also reflect the reforms Biden spelled out on his first day in office. Those include an increase in visas and funding to process asylum applications.

And Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, maintained that he's been voicing concerns since before Election Day that quickly reversing Trump’s policies would result in an increased number of migrants at the border, according to Politico.

5 seat margin. That’s all the Dems hold in the House after their 2020 shellacking. How many scared purple-district Dems will want to vote for amnesty, knowing it would be the end of their careers in 21 months?

Nov. 2020 proved they do not need to worry about the consequences of elections.

What do they really worry about? Well - there’s still 7000 National Guardsmen in Washington DC, so it seems to be something else.

They fear nothing. The voters can not touch them anymore. 2020 was the Swamp’s year of liberation from the last vestige of any threat of being voted out of office.

Let them go all in and we’ll see how that impacts 2022 elections. Even with all the fraud and cheating that the Dems plan.

Gang members with records of gang rape and torture slayings.

Pedophiles paying for children as props who are terrified of telling the border authorities “That is not really my uncle” in order to cross the border.

Millions to demand full welfare and health and surgery coverage with no deductibles.

Millions to demand free housing.

Demands to have children tutored in Spanish and other languages in all schools.

What could possibly go wrong?

*sigh* I wish headlines would be more factual. Look the Dems have an enormous vote fraud mechanism, and a compliant, complicit media. And a stupid public.

Democrats have no reason to be afraid.

So their complaint is that the truth of their actions and intents will be exposed?

BS story. Fake news. They aren’t worried in the least. 50 million new democrat voters overnight? They aren’t worried.

Pure BS and fake bloviating. As it stands,these swamp scum really have no worries about what the people think or say for the process of voting is now rigged beyond repair. The reality is that more illegals will be more illegal “legal” votes for the a-hole left as the votes will be broadly harvested.

OK. Enjoy the sunshine and lollipops fantasy land where your vote actually matters and elections aren't stolen with no repercussions at all except for those who complain about it.

So, the choice is to not vote. You’re an idiot.
