Pelosi on enforcing immigration law: ‘What’s the point?’
American Thinker ^ | 06/25/2019 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 06/25/2019 7:56:31 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Nancy Pelosi has gone off the deep end and questioned the legitimacy of enforcing laws that she disagrees with.  Anarchy beckons when the top lawmaker in the House of Representatives, third in line for the presidency, takes the position that there is no point in enforcing legal verdicts that are the product of due process.  Ryan Saavedra of the Daily Wire has the story:

Speaking at an event in Elmhurst, New York, Pelosi attacked President Donald Trump over the raids from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers that were scheduled to happen over the weekend but were delayed after sensitive information was leaked to the public about the locations of the raids.

"When I saw that the president was going to have these raids, I mean it was so appalling," Pelosi said. "It's outside the circle of civilized human behavior to just be kicking down doors, splitting up families, and the rest of that, in addition to the injustices that are happening at the border. We have legislation to go forward to address those needs, but in terms of interior enforcement, what's the – what's the point?"

If we are going to make obeying the law optional, then I see no point in paying my federal income taxes. But of course, I am not a member of a preferred minority, so I am out of luck when it comes to support from Pelosi or any Democrats.

President Trump has not yet tweeted about this outrageous, seditious (look it up!) from the highest ranking Democrat.

That’s right up there with Clinton’s “What difference does it make”. Nancy only upholds laws that hurt Republicans.

He did NOT tweet the date, it was leaked!

“Next week” is not a date. What was leaked was the exact date of Monday June 24th.

OK then, Nanzi, then WHAT’S THE POINT of enforcing gun laws?

Two can play at your simplistic game, you dried-up, senile, old twit.

Typical Dem/Lib. Create/Allow a situation to fester beyond resolution, and then claim it to be non-fixable.

Example: Homelessness & poop in SF, LA, Seattle, soon to be Austin.

“...Pelosi is a sick dead soul. There is no depravity downward limit to what effluent can spew from her filthy mouth....”
The vile demonic Botoxian doesn’t have long. The Grim Reaper will snatch that dark dead soul from her for his master all in due time. Just wish he’d step up the pace a little.

What’s the point of enforcing any law? This is one more reason I dismiss their nonsense about Trump committing some fanciful obstruction of justice, while they praise and assist 50 million illegals.

“there is no point in enforcing legal verdicts that are the product of due process”. This is the crux of the battle against President Trump. We live in a word that now punishes the good and praises the evil.

What laws can I break?

It's outside the circle of civilized human behavior to just be kicking down doors, splitting up families, and the rest of that.

You can make that argument about any no-knock raid or SWAT standoff. So, where's the equal protection under the law?? Pretty sure a lot of drug dealers and other criminals would claim they just want a better life for their family. Maybe we should disband all SWAT teams and outlaw all no-knock warrants. /S

San Fran Nan is one of the ruling elite.
She has gotten her riches and elite lifestyle.

“Let them eat cake” attitude.

They have no problem kicking down doors to take away your second amendment rights.

Just don’t inconvenience an illegal alien.

Oh, but it was ok when Clinton and Reno kicked down the door to take Elian Gonazalez from his family to ship him off to Cuba to rot.

The point is the same as enforcing the law against murder. The law is the law and being a democrat does not provide you with an excuse to violate the law.

Jerry Nadler had a close one recently. Doesn’t seem to have mellowed the treacherous bastard.

I saw that. He’ll “mellow” when he busts hell wide open. It will have to enlarge itself to take that large, evil fat azz in....LOL
