Democrats say they support border security, but their voting record says otherwise
The National Sentinel ^ | 12/30/18 | USA Features

As we enter the second week of a partial government shutdown over Democrats’ refusal to give POTUS Donald Trump a paltry $5 billion for border security measures including the construction of a wall, the party of the donkey continues to claim they support it.

On Dec. 19, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said on the chamber floor Democrats have consistently supported “smart border security.”

But is that true? Hardly. In fact, their voting record shows just the opposite.

Democrats can get away with lying because they own the corrupt press.

Sanctuary states say, “Illegals, come live here”. Why, because in the next census, even illegal bodies count towards more congressional seats.

So the government and political ghouls depopulated the country via abortion as well as a pandemic or world war and now need replacement people. The government and the swamp has very little use for the unborn,infirm,seniors and anyone over 50. Government and government’s whores have only one agenda which is to sustain and grow government. “We the people” is more like go wee-wee on the people.

Democrats say they support border security...

Unmitigated Bullshit. They want all the illegal votes they can get. Most of them are communists in disguise seeking power over America any way they can get it. ESAD Dems.

Schumer: “smart [??? emphasis added] border security.”

Sen. Schumer is probably using the word “smart” as a loophole to define border security any way that he wants to.

According to Prof Jonathan Turley, hating Trump has the Democrats remaking themselves.
In order to "Get-Trump," Dems are making dizzying u-turns on their most revered positions.

<><>Turley observed that the viscerally soft-on-crime Democrats have even embraced expanding definitions of crimes like obstruction, conspiracy, and the like. Democrats have resisted efforts to criminalize broader and broader areas of conduct, and now sound like legal hawks in demanding criminal charges for conduct long treated as civil matters, such as campaign finance violations and foreign agent registration violations.

<><> Demos have heretofore looked askance at America's endless wars but are now triggered by Trump's exit from Syria.

<><> Liberals once rejected the premise that we should engage in continual wars in other countries or face terrorism on our streets at home.

<><> Pelosi said the exit was a "Christmas gift to Putin."

<><> Morning Joe Scarborough sounding like the Republicanism he denounced says Trump failed to understand
that we must fight “enemies like ISIS abroad, so we do not have to fight them in our own schools, churches and airports.”

CONCLUSION Trump is in the catbird seat----he can easily trigger the Dems on the border issue---take a
position that forces Demos to support border security that goes against everything they say thy stand for.

I haven't ever seen an enforcement only immigration bill in the senate or the house. Where is it?

Get the senate or the house to appropriate 30 plus billion for the fence, because Mexico ain't gonna pay. Plus, the senate or the house needs to come up with the money for another 100,000 Ice Agents because these local taxpayers in the sanctuary cities ain't gonna pay to enforce federal laws. You pay Mr Federal Taxpayer.

You need to come up with another 80 billion to patrol the schools because the teachers ain't gonna enforce federal immigration laws.

How much money are you going to come up with for visa overstay? There are more illegals in the USA from overstaying visas than there are from crossing the Mexican border. Come up with the money to apprehend all the illegals who overstayed their visa then we can talk about the border.

If you don't understand the problem by now, you are too furking dumb.

The budget hawks have overruled the border hawks

“They had 50 years to fix the problem but they did nothing.


The ONE TIME AMNESTY was passed in 1986. Chappaquiddick Ted Kennedy made it his life’s work to kill the enforcement provisions of this “ONE TIME ONLY” amnesty.

If just one pregnant illegal is prevented from entering the USA to plop out a baby on US soil the $25B price for the wall is worth it.

Both of those bills were “Comprehensive Immigration Reform” or amnesty.
Their purpose was to “Comprehensively Screw Americans Out Of Their Country”.

The citizens want border security and enforcement.
The GOP wanted to pass it but did not dare as they would have ceased to exist as a party.

Reply 27 applies to you: There has never been a enforcement only immigration bill in either house of congress because enforcement only costs huge sums of money.
