The battle over immigration reform is still heating up, as the Democrats continue their treasonous attempts to come up with a deal that would see millions of illegals in the United States become citizens.
Leftists claim they just want to protect DACA recipients, but after the Democrats turned down a deal that would have done just that in exchange for a measly border wall, it’s become clear that they’re going for broke on their dream of ubiquitous amnesty for all illegals. While Trump has unfortunately been willing to cave on the DACA issue, the president just put his foot down and expressed that he won’t be accepting any bad deals, no matter the cost.
As reported at the Washington Times, on Tuesday, President Trump announced that he’d welcome another government shutdown if Democrats continue to refuse to work with him to reign in illegal immigration.
“I’d love to see a shutdown if we can’t get this stuff taken care of,” the president said at a White House roundtable discussion on MS-13 gang violence and illegal immigration.
Trump has laid a generous 4-pillar approach to his immigration reform agenda. He’s already declared he would provide amnesty for 1.8 million illegal immigrants “Dreamers” in exchange for major policy changes including a border wall and more authority to speed deportations.
This is more than what the Democrats have been clamoring they “wanted” for the DACA folks, although everyone knows they want amnesty for them and every other illegal. But despite the generous offer, they keep refusing the president, as they have zero interest in protecting the nation’s borders.
So instead of their initial public offer of protecting DACA recipients from deportation, they now want full blown amnesty right now for about 3.2 million illegal immigrants, while also resisting any efforts to reign in immigration.
This is utter insanity, and thankfully, Trump has decided to stand strong against it.
“Then shut it down. We’ll go with another shutdown,” he said.
The government suffered a short partial shutdown last month after Democrats refused to fund the government unless Dreamers were granted citizenship rights.
Sen. Charles E. Schumer, the top Democrat in the Senate, said the president was the only one looking for a shutdown.
“We had a Trump shutdown. Nobody wants a shutdown but him,” said the New York Democrat. Yes, Chuck, but everyone wants illegals to be granted citizenship so elections are easier for you to win, right?
A shutdown is exactly what’s needed if the government’s going to betray the nation and legalize millions of illegals. Every single day, the Left’s demands get more and more extreme, while they simultaneously spew propaganda in the media about how uncooperative the president and conservatives are. It’s insanity, or more accurately, bonafide treason. Democrats have literally opened up our gates to let the foreign hoards in, violating federal law and spitting in the faces of every citizen. And now they want to legalize these invaders precisely because they’re reliable Democratic voters.
It’s hard to imagine a more disgusting betrayal than this. No matter what happens, in the future, what the Left is doing will be rightfully looked at as one of the most incomprehensible and unforgivable actions ever taken against a nation by its own citizens.
