Chris Matthews Slams Democrats Over ‘Open Border’ Immigration Policy: They ‘Don’t Know How People Think Anymore’ (GEE YA THINK?)

Chris Matthews ripped into Democrats for their “terrible decision” on the southern border, chalking that issue and the economy up as the reasons former President Donald Trump overcame Vice President Kamala Harris in the election.

“Chris Matthews, you are sitting in your home state of Pennsylvania this morning. A state won by Donald Trump. Not as close as some predicted it would be. Kamala Harris didn’t do what she needed to do, even in those suburbs of Philadelphia that are so decisive in these elections. What’s your morning after assessment of what happened?” Willie Geist asked Matthews on Wednesday’s Morning Joe.

Matthews noted Trump’s support in red states grew, but argued it was Democrats’ handling of the southern border and migrant-related issues that distanced that party from voters.

“It’s all about immigration and the economy, but immigration has been a terrible decision for Democrats. I don’t know who they think they were playing to when they let millions of people come cruising through the border at their own will. Because of their own decisions, they came right running to that border and they didn’t do a thing about it,” Matthews said. “And a lot of people are very angry about that.”

There’s a whole section of the Democratic party that is actually not in line with what the Biden WH was doing: Open Border and woke nonsense.

I know Biden’s administration flew illegals all over the country. But I wonder how much impact there was with DeSantis and Abbott trickling out illegals all over the country. A lot of people were getting fed up with these leaches.

I wonder what his position was 3 years ago concerning the border. Or during Trump’s previous tenure

I think their immigration policy was in place because they knew *exactly* how people think. Voters were thinking of throwing them out, so they import new, more compliant voters in mass quantities. That’s been their game-plan for about 60 years.

It was a calculated gamble to change the electorate quick enough, that it wouldn’t matter waht normal Americans think.

Musk described the plan succinctly multiple times over the last week.

It was gross and outright evil what they attempted to do with illegal immigration.

Matthews actually was a pretty smart political guy. He got cast off when MSNBC went full looney left/woke. I remember watching Hardball back in the day. It was a well formatted politcal chit chat show.

Gosh, except for a select few groups I don’t think anybody’s ever thought that way.

There’s a ton of illegals in my North East Florida county.

Everytime we go to Walmart half the people in the store are speaking some language other than English and that includes the employees......I’m hoping to see that change.

They ‘Don’t Know How People Think Anymore’

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

Matthews, a big liberal elite himself, supported most of the crazy ideas that the Left spouts.

The leftist attempts to institute permanent government political acceptance and financial grift to surgically mutilate children for a wicked trans-sexual ideology showed their satanic horns.

The fact there was a slim majority who recognized this is both a cause for hope, and also a sign this nation is still in DEEP trouble.

All the Dems had to do was NOT TOUCH the energy and border policies they inherited when they took over in 2021. If they had continued those policies, they would have cruised to victory and could continue murdering as many babies as they please.

And what about mutilating young, silly, easily impressionable kids? And not even letting the parents know! And if they know, they would be charged with a crime if they intervened?

And men in women’s teams and bathrooms?

And taking the side of terrorists?

And spending like drunk sailors?

And letting mobs of thugs crash and grab stores with impunity?

And letting criminals out of jail to terrorize communities?

The Democratic Leadership doesn’t care how the people think.

This election was important to them but it unimportant to their ultimate plans.

The Democrats (Communist Party USA) are playing “The Long Game”.

They are playing for a single party nation for generations to come.

Open boarders will in a few years give them that by flooding every major city in the country with illegal immigrants that will be counted in the next census for purposes of apportionment of representation in congress.

And possibly and ultimately voting for president.

One the first things that a Republican congress must do is draft a bill and pass it making it illegal to count non-citizens for apportionment.

It should be an amendment but that is a much longer process that may not be successful.

“but immigration has been a terrible decision for Democrats”

It was a terrible decision for tyrannical Joe, the outlier Democrats were kept in line and threatened to be defunded and ostracized during upcoming campaigns. Nanzi Botoxi made that happen... that’s how the demonical party works - threatened manipulation.

Chrissy once acknowledged that Saul Alinsky was one of his heroes. He must recognize that Kommie’s campaign was straight out of Rules For Radicals.

For the love of God, military age men are coming over in waves. Most people I know are OK with immigration assuming they can add value. We have veterans living on the street, what about them?

“It was a calculated gamble to change the electorate quick enough, that it wouldn’t matter what normal Americans think.”

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

Perfectly stated. That was the plan. It backfired on them last night. Make no mistake, they were hoping to see some payoff in illegal votes in 2024.

A lot of taxpayer funded resources went into pushing the scheme forward. The people in DHS behind this mess need to be thoroughly investigated and/or prosecuted.
