Former U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke called on Democrats to do more than "comprehensive immigration reform" the next time they take back the White House and Congressional majorities, at a rally on Saturday against the GOP effort to redistrict Texas congressional districts.
"We absolutely failed to live up to the expectations that we set, so next time we win power, we're going to drive that car like we stole it," he said at the rally in Fort Worth called "The People vs. The Power Grab."
BETO O'ROURKE: Check this out.
"You know, Democrats -- present company excluded -- have talked an awful good game on immigration for as long as I have been listening. You know, "If you just keep voting for us once we get in power, comprehensive immigration reform."
Well, we won power in 2008, the White House, the House and the Senate. We won power in 2020, the White House, the House and the Senate.
The American people were watching because we had promised them what we would do with that power, and we absolutely failed to live up to the expectations that we set, so next time we win power, we're going to drive that car like we stole it.
We're going to legalize every DREAMer, every DREAMer's parents, every hardworking American doing backbreaking work that makes this country so goddamn great in the first place, even greater as US citizens."

Criminals ratting each other out is not a new phenomenon, but also more non-white residents seem to be demanding real law enforcement. There are Momdani types in NY politics who want to blame Trump no matter what. Eventually Momdani himself may want to start uttering some vaguely moderate sounding blather (but carefully worded so he can say “No, that’s not what I meant”).

A lot of liberals moved to Texas for jobs. I sure hope they don’t destroy the state. I think the same thing is going on in Tennessee.
