Pelosi Statement on Trump Speech
January 19, 2019
San Francisco — Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued this statement in advance of the President’s address:
“Democrats were hopeful that the President was finally willing to re-open government and proceed with a much-needed discussion to protect the border.
“Unfortunately, initial reports make clear that his proposal is a compilation of several previously rejected initiatives, each of which is unacceptable and in total, do not represent a good faith effort to restore certainty to people’s lives. It is unlikely that any one of these provisions alone would pass the House, and taken together, they are a non-starter. For one thing, this proposal does not include the permanent solution for the Dreamers and TPS recipients that our country needs and supports.
“Democrats support smart, effective border security solutions:
Increased infrastructure investments at our ports of entry including additional ports and roads;
Advanced technology to scan for drugs, weapons and contraband where the vast majority of drugs come in to our country and advanced technology to detect unauthorized crossings;
More customs personnel including filling the more than 3,000 customs and border patrol vacancies; and
More immigration judges.
“Next week, Democrats will pass a package of six bills agreed to by House and Senate negotiators and other legislation to re-open government so that we can fully negotiate on border security proposals.
“The President must sign these bills to re-open government immediately and stop holding the American people hostage with this senseless shutdown. Each day he prolongs this needless crisis, Coast Guardsmen, FBI agents, border patrol officers, TSA agents, and hundreds of thousands more workers are forced to live without knowing how they can feed their families or pay their bills.
“The President has taken pride in shutting down government. Now, he must take action to open up government.”
What’s interesting here is this: Trump has extended olive branch after olive branch. The demonrats keep denying it. This will push Trump to declare a National Emergency as he now calls it a “Humanitarian Crisis at the Southern Border” (notice the change in language today). The demonrats will trod off to the courts. An injunction will be placed on the National Emergency because the judge who thinks he can now determine such a thing will be repealed and it will be overturned in a higher court because a judge cannot determine matters of an emergency in which the President is privy to the security of the nation. Again the POTUS has played this well, by going onto national television he steals the talking points away from the demonrats to say it was childish meeting in which no video cameras were at.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi you are so in over your head. Some of your freshman met with Trump they are going to vote on the bill in the Senate and it will pass, then your own people are going to vote for it the House can you not see this coming, the next deal will be much less from President Trump if that don’t work HaHa
If you actually supported smart things, you would not have to keep saying they are smart.
Trump so stole the Sunday morning talk shows.
By going on National TV on a Saturday afternoon was like a cherry on top of his two scoops.
Friday Buzzsaw bust and now this...
“Sod off troll-boi.”
On target, grey_whiskers. FR has an over abundance of weenies who run around with their hair on fire, screaming like little girls.
I hear crying babies and see Mansplaining in Nancy's future, enjoy coach!
He is offering AMNESTY—permits to stay, work authorization, AND access to government benefits!!! I don’t care how they got here, how young they might have been, etc. Not our problem. They are here illegally and need to take their families home with them and leave our country. ALL OF THEM.
Just for three years. After that, all bets are off!
And how many will then leave? Given another three years, married, pregnant? How many more dead Americans at their hands?
Offer every last one of the full amnesty, but they cannot bring in family and for the next 3 generations they cannot vote. Then see how this transpires.
The Dems would reject it. I believe Trump has already offered them something like that when the gov’t was open and it wasn’t enough.
Never mattered what Trump was going to offer.. she’s afraid of the radical left base of her voters... rank and file Dems have to break, she will never negotiate in good faith.
The voters have to pressure Dems outside of th deep blue districts to yield and break from Pelosi...
Trump has offered a reasonable deal, hard to see how rand and file Dems not from 90% blue districts won’t start to break assuming voters prwssuee them..
I think you are missing my point. President Trump tried to shut down the obviously unconstitutional DACA last year and a 9th Circuit judge stopped that. It was appealed to SCOTUS. SCOTUS this week decided not to hear the case this year. Even if Trump does nothing the DACA parasites are protected until June 2020 at the earliest because of that decision. SCOTUS may decide not to hear it next year either. That is what I meant by he is not offering much that isn’t going to happen anyways.
Not if Ginsberg expires before then.
In the meantime no free vacation trips with her family all over the world paid by US taxpayers.
They have the capsule between their teeth - only a matter of time before they bite down on it...
“Where is she.”
I believe she flew to San Francisco yesterday. Commercial. The article says, “San Francisco”, I think.
What the hell are doing having taxpayers pony up for alcohol? PDJT should exclude alcohol from reimbursement. They can all BYOB for all travel and entertainment.
Trump must be frustrated. His entire life he’s only had to deal with the mob, unions (is that redundant?), Hollywood moguls, ruthless subcontractors, etc. Now he’s up against Satan who is determined to wipe out the best country God gave to mankind, with the foundation of Judeo-Christian tenets and ethics. Satan has had enough.
Pelosi ... possessed by demons.
As long as the polls say the shutdown is Trump’s and the Republicans party fault, Trump could offer them the world, and they would still turn him down.
The Democrats are using the shutdown as a monetary raising tool to attempt to take back the U S Senate. I think Gardner is already gone. This is all about Collins. How many federal gov’t workers are in Maine?
Jones in AL will lose his seat though. That would mean the Republicans would still have a two seat advantage in the U S Senate in 2020.
I think Trump ought to initiate the RIF process. Maybe that ought to scare them a little.
Regular folks don’t care about 800,000 non essential Federal gov’t workers.
I’ve been a laid off gov’t worker. No one opened up food pantries for me and my fellow workers who were laid off and get free food.
