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.”
“Nancy won’t talk until Trump opens up the gov’t.”
Trump should say to her, “I see your one open-up-the-government, and raise you an “800,000-people-are-fired”. Maybe the old battle axe will talk then.
Until the 800,000 non essential U S federal gov’t workers realize the labor unions and their cronies the Democrat party doesn’t care about them Trump could offer them the world and it will not be enough.
I hope Trump is willing to put it out there their jobs maybe at risk. And even then that may not be enough to turn the tide. Us common folk don’t care about the gov’t workers and don’t care about the gov’t shutdown.
It’s not just pelosi under the evil spell... the whole dem party and the media, walk in step with her and obey her will. I know it was around before... but obama opened up the pit on this country. He is pure evil (in my opinion)... and for some reason, the public at large is afraid of the word ‘racist’.. and he has been able to do what no other in his race, has. Becoming President seemed to give the black community the right to do whatever they wanted to do... and riots happened, riots he sanctioned. His aim was to stir up all of the country, for the revenge he thought they were owed. He was slick and the weak men... men who have become feminized by the women in their sphere... the weak men capitulated to his every whim. He used the IRS and any other government power he had, to control everyone and everything. The corruption went full blown with his approval.. and hillary had a place where she could do what she did... they figured they would not ever be held accountable.. after all, she was to replace obama and no one would know the depth of their sins and crimes.
I do believe God had a hand in giving us Donald Trump... I dont know another person who could take what he has, who would have kept their promises, who could finance his own campaign so he did not owe special interests when elected.
The damage obama did to the morality, the hope, the lawless way he lived.. and he repeatedly said we were not a Christian nation. he was and is from another “religion” and his god is not our God. His aim was to transform our country and he almost did. If the men out there would be men in their rightful place, and not gossipers and touchy feely persons... they would not have followed him .. but they bowed to him and he lapped it up.
I don’t know how to stop the decline after Trump.. the educational system has taken over our youth and it’s a scary situation for my grandchildren who have a life to live.
“I don’t know how to stop the decline after Trump.”
I think the only answer is to pray for a spiritual revival in America. We pray for that every day. If that doesn’t happen, there’s no hope. If Pence were to run, and win, in 2024 he mayy be able to sustain Trump’s accomplishments for a while. I dunno. It’s scary.
