Flip-Flopping Democrats Dancing an Immigration Jig for Political Gain
By Brian C. Joondeph
Ladies and gentlemen, gather 'round for a tale of political acrobatics worthy of Olympic gymnastics. The Democratic Party, once a stronghold of tough talk on illegal immigration benefits, has pirouetted into a chorus line of hypocrisy, all to serve political convenience.
Let's waltz through the decades with Chuck Schumer, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, and Joe Biden, comparing their former stern warnings with their current soft-shoe routines. Buckle up, because this flip-flop parade will be an inconvenient sashay through their past statements.
Back in 1996, Senator Chuck Schumer was the sheriff of congressional fiscal responsibility, wielding his gavel like a six-shooter. “People say, why can't you stop illegal immigrants from coming here? The number one answer we give our constituents is when they come here, they can get jobs, get benefits against the law because of fraud,” he declared during a U.S. House session.
Fast forward to 2025. Last week, Schumer and his caucus shut down the government over illegal immigrants getting taxpayer-funded health care and men competing against women in sports. Talk about a 180-degree turn! It’s like he swapped his cowboy hat for a sombrero mid-dance.
Speaking of sombreros, President Trump posted a hilarious AI-generated video on his X account featuring Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, with Jeffries wearing a sombrero, making liberals' heads explode.
