Chuckie Schumer: 'Tears Are Running Down The Cheeks of the Statue of Liberty' (tears of joy!)

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Friday evening lambasted President Trump's executive order that enhances screening procedures for refugees and immigrants.

"Tears are running down the cheeks of the Statue of Liberty tonight as a grand tradition of America, welcoming immigrants, that has existed since America was founded has been stomped upon," Schumer, a Democrat from New York, said in a statement. "Taking in immigrants and refugees is not only humanitarian but has also boosted our economy and created jobs decade after decade. This is one of the most backward and nasty executive orders that the president has issued."

Trump is expected to tighten protocols for visa programs in Muslim-majority countries, including Iran, Sudan, Syria, Libya, Somalia, Yemen and Iraq. The order may suspend refugee admissions from those nations for four months until the administration makes a conclusion about which post the greatest risk to national security. Trump has said Islamic State terrorists could pose as refugees in order to travel to the U.S. to carry out a terrorist attack.

Aren’t something like 90% of Muslims and Mexican invaders on welfare? “Boost for the economy”?

Of course, according to Nancy Pelosi, unemployment checks cause prosperity.

Seems to me that when the old girl was put up we had strict guidelines and control over who and how many we allowed to immigrate to America, I know my parents waited years in a worn torn Europe before they were approved. Why do schmuks like Schumer think this asinine argument will fly when we all know the demonrats are just trolling for new voters.

What a crappy thing to say. My ancestors came here and did it the legal way. There are laws for a reason and it is time they been enforced.

...

The tablet in the statue’s left hand is supposed to represent law. The statue itself was inspired by the Union victory and the end of slavery in America. The association with immigration came from a poem used to raise funds for the pedestal.

...You’d think a United States Senator would know the difference between immigrants who came here according to the laws of our country, and those who did not....

And those who want to kill us and destroy our country and traditional way of life and social norms and those who don’t, and figure out how to tell the difference. Telling the difference... that’s the hard part.

It’s just that jihadists, even cultural jihadists, are not “huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” They are imperialists determined to take over and subjugate us, Chuck. Lady Libety is fist-pumping today. MAGA!

Lady Liberty was doing a happy dance in the early hours of November 9, 2016.

Chuck Schumer and the horrible democrats abused the goodness of the American people by dumping violent illegals on us and not giving a damn about how we felt.

Go eff yourself Chuck Schumer...

I think Chuckie needs to re-read the inscription on the Statue of Liberty.

Here is part of it:

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Let me emphasize a very important phrase:

"Yearning to breathe free"

Does anybody believe that the San Bernardino shooters were "yearning to breathe free"?

We said the same for the Obama Regime. Sorry, Chucky. Borrowing our image of Libery crying does not work. Your camp is for the loss of liberty.
