Author’s note Sunday morning, June 23, 2019: the promising new immigration news I wrote about on Friday was just stomped on by some really bad news and a very misguided decision from the White House yesterday. An update follows my original post.
Immigration
Illegal Workers Contribute to Democrats More Than Economy
As taxpayers do we pay to crack down on illegal workers or do we pay to protect America’s immigrant workforce? The answer is both. We fund enforcement to control illegal labor. Then we pay again because Congressional Democrats obstruct our efforts.
287(g) Program Just Proved Democrats Wrong 7,000 Times
Democrats take advantage of every opportunity to obstruct collaboration between state and local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities. They can’t and won’t admit that criminal aliens cross the Southern border to set up shop in the U.S. As time passes and the evidence mounts they only dig in their heels and resist every effort to get the truth out to the public and do something about the problem.
H.R. 6: Dream for Illegals is Another Promise to Fail
Democrats are taking another stab at immigration policy failure. In typically deceptive fashion they called H.R. 6 The American Dream and Promise Act at its March 12, 2019 unveiling.
The real purpose of this bill is less flashy and a lot more honest:
To authorize the cancellation of removal and adjustment of status of certain aliens, and for other purposes.
Children Died Because of Democratic Policy, Not the CBP
Our definition of child abuse is pretty broad. We lock up parents for leaving their children in overheated or unheated cars, for refusing to vaccinate, for leaving drugs around the house, and a host of other dangerous behaviors that put kids’ lives at risk.
Caravan from Honduras: DHS Figures Prove Democrats Wrong
A caravan from Honduras isn’t news. The number of unauthorized Hondurans has exploded over the past decade. What’s new is how they are used against us. There is no length Democrats won’t go to in their quest to bring more dependence to U.S. taxpayers. Their story of bedraggled, beaten-down refugees from Central America culls up lots of sympathy from the left, but how much of what they tell us about the caravan from Honduras stands up to the facts? Not much, according to annual reports from Homeland Security.
Public Charge Rule Update: Dems Claim Cash is Not Enough
Does welfare count when it isn’t cash? That’s the ridiculous question asked by Democrats who oppose a public charge rule update that seeks to keep immigrants off of our public assistance rolls. We were told these people are highly-skilled job creators and entrepreneurs who will come to the U.S. and make us prosperous. Now they need Medicaid and food stamps. Is someone not telling the truth?
