Chuck Schumer: Democrats Will Reject Any Legislation to Fix Border Crisis

[mystery-ak]

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said Tuesday that Democrats would reject legislation to address the crisis at the U.S-Mexico border, where children have been separated from adults after crossing illegally.

“There are so many obstacles to legislation and when the president can do it with his own pen, it makes no sense,” Schumer said, as quoted by The Hill. “Legislation is not the way to go here when it’s so easy for the president to sign it.” The Hill‘s Alexander Bolton observed: “Schumer said [Democrats] want to keep the focus on Trump.”

Schumer’s statements seem to indicate that a bill he co-sposonsors, the Keep Families Together Act, is largely for show. That bill, introduced by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), is officially co-sponsored by every Senate Democrat and would prevent government agencies from removing an illegal alien child from a parent or legal guardian within 100 miles of the U.S. border or any port of entry.

This is really stupid.

So Trump signs an executive order to keep it from happening.

Then when Congress creates a law to fix the problem permanently, the dems decide to fight the executive order by law.

Political strategy will be a big loser and winner is Trump.

I'm still not thrilled with Trump's EO,   but this is Grade-A stupidity right here from Schumer.

[darroll]

The dems love the turmoil that they caused.

Chuck would be much happier in North Korea.

Schumer says democrats will fight any attempt to fix the border crisis they legislated into existence.

WATCH: Democrat Admits She Didn't Really Care About Family Separation Under Obama
 ByRyan Saavedra

Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) told CNN's Brooke Baldwin on Wednesday that she didn't really care about how young migrant children were treated under the Obama administration, saying that she only really cared on a "case by case" basis.

"And so as so many people in this country are certainly outraged by the cages, and the thermal blankets, and the facilities housing these kids, you know, they were all there in 2014 under President Obama," CNN's Baldwin said. "And my question to you, Senator Baldwin, is did you speak up against them then?"

"You know, on the, on this issue that we get into a moment where we’re making progress and then when it, when it stalls, we turn around," Sen. Baldwin responded.   ...  Daily Wire

Nearly incoherent. Good job, voters of Wisconsin.

Of course Democrats don't care about these children. This whole thing is just a distraction from the non-existent "blue wave" and the disastrous disclosures of FBI malfeasance.

Democrats don't want the problem fixed. That's the last thing they want.
They want to keep using this issue into perpetuity as a club to beat Republicans with.
The main goal of Dems is to keep finding new victims to use emotional appeals to sway gullible voters.
Before this fiasco it was "gay" marriage, "transsexual rights,"  and the everlasting race issue.
They're totally intent on wrecking the country, and they'll keep on doing mischief until they're stopped.

It's like the Dems don't even give a crap about politics anymore, they just want to burn it all down.

Fine, but remember you said this the next time you’re caterwauling about some EO you don’t like and accuse him of tyranny or ruling by executive fiat.

I hope they continue to follow that strategy.  It has served them well.

Title:
"Chuck Schumer: Democrats Will Reject Any Legislation to Fix Border Crisis"

This is EXACTLY what we want.

ALL "immigration reform" legislation in Congress now is bad news.
It will all result, eventually, in "amnesties", one way or another.

Hopefully, at least SOME of the Republicans won't support it.
That means there won't be enough votes to pass anything, again, hopefully.

We don't want anything "comprehensive" to pass. That's how they slip the bad stuff through.
Better off to leave things as they are now.

The message should be, "NOTHING on 'immigration' until the border wall is funded and under construction" ...

It's like the Dems don't even give a crap about politics anymore, they just want to burn it all down.

Likely because they are now very aware that everything is set in place for them to do what they have wanted to do for decades.

The Praetorian Alphabets giving them a hefty demonstration of how lawless parallel government and any-and-all-means justice works.

[sneakypete]

This is news?

Who expected them to do anything different?

I would REALLY love to see someone ask Chuckie how he would feel about the UN ordering Israel to take in Muslim refugees.
