Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer said during an interview over the weekend that “the spirit” of giving free handouts to illegal aliens should absolutely be part of Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris’ agenda if she becomes president.
Whitmer made the remarks during a Sunday interview on NBC News’ “Meet The Press” while discussing some of the extreme things that Harris’ vice presidential running mate Tim Walz has provided to illegal aliens in the state of Minnesota where he serves as governor.
Left-wing host Kristen Welker noted that Walz has given illegal aliens driver’s licenses, the ability to qualify for free tuition at public universities, and the ability to enroll in the state’s free health care program.
“Would you like to see the Harris administration adopt those same policies, Governor?” she asked.
“Well, I could tell you, you know, Tim Walz is a pragmatic guy,” Whitmer responded. “He’s a Midwesterner just like me. And I think some of the wonderful things he’s done in Minnesota resonate with, you know, Americans in all states.”
She added that Walz’s policies were designed to attract illegal aliens because it makes the U.S. a “beacon that people come to.”
Welker again pressed Whitmer to answer if those policies should be part of the Harris administration.
“I think what we need to do is have a system – an immigration system that works, number one,” Whitmer said before admitting that the border under the Biden-Harris administration is currently not secure. Advertisement
“We need to make sure that when people are in this country, that they have access to have some form of ID. That’s really important,” she continued. “And I think to the spirit of those things, I think, should be a part of any vision for the country.”
If you ignore them, they evaporate.
She REALLY meant The Spirit of Wealth Distribution.
There’s nothing like giving away other people’s money to make you feel good about yourself. You get pleasantly smug and self-righteous. The more, the better.
My, she seems to agree with the idea that in order to get rid of lousy policy, it needs to be strictly enforced, lol.
Bookmark that interview for when she runs for president.
Walz’s policies were designed to attract illegal aliens because it makes the U.S. a “beacon that people come to.”
Yep, put up a sign that says “FREE MONEY FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS” and they will come here like flies are attracted to crap.
Yea, most Americans are for that. NOT!
Not really. She wants to print more money and destroy the IS even mre.
Do these folks even have to take a written/drivers test to qualify for a license like the rest of US peons or are they simply handed a license and cut loose on our roadways.
Inquiring minds want to know.
She already did embrace it: $25K to ‘new homeowners’ and the $6K child tax credit. It’s a buyoff for the young, too, but there’s a strong likelihood that these are aimed directly at illegals.
Speaking of spirit, Gretchen is possessed by a demonic spirit.
They are particularly vicious, hateful liberals who smile in people's faces while stabbing them in the back.
They seem to sell well to other women but I can't figure out why. They're very dislikable.
Dolt
Yeah, Joe Biden should redistribute the 27 million he and Hunter swindled out of taxpayers and various criminal endeavors.
The MI governor who failed to respond to several requests for a simple explanation or clarification of state law (not requests to change anything). When we inquired about making a substantial investment in MI. All she had to do was refer the question to her tax agency or policy department and all they needed to do was reply with a one or two sentence email.
She didn’t bother hitting her Forward key... so the money did not get invested in MI.
I’d say that she’s not on the top of my list for anything regarding the economy or jobs that investment brings to a state or community.
They give the tests in other languages in Oregon...
Wacko Whitmer lives up to her name again.
Buying votes is the only way a Democrat can win. That, and cheating.
Trump needs to send ads to Detroit and just needs to play Whitemer’s words verbatim.
