The Democrats’ Positions on Immigration Are Starting to Worry a Lot of Democrats
By Ira Mehlman   July 2, 2019 9 Comments


The death of the so-called Gang of Eight bill in the House of Representatives in 2014 marks the point at which the Democratic establishment dropped any pretense of support for immigration enforcement. The last week in June 2019 will almost certainly mark the point at which the party’s leaders declared not only their unconcealed hostility to immigration enforcement, but their rejection of the very notion that the United States should even have immigration laws.

The week began with Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the party’s highest ranking elected federal official, declaring “A violation of status is not a reason for deportation. That’s just not so.” 8 U.S. Code Section 1325 says otherwise, but why let a little thing like a federal statute stand in the way of a political agenda? Pelosi went on to tout a House supplemental appropriation to deal with the humanitarian fallout from the border crisis, “We have legislation to go forward to address those needs,” and also stated clearly her view that anyone who makes it into the country, however they got here, should be allowed to remain. “n terms of interior enforcement, what is – what’s the point?”

Thank God the Gang of Eight bill died. Like Simpson Mazzoli it would've been a disaster for this country.

The only change in 'rat attitude towards illegal immigration - or immigration for that matter - over the past 40 years is now they are being honest & open about their intentions.
