Hondurans TPS Protection Ends, War of Words Begins

Last update May 16, 2018Leave a Comment

The mean-spirited war of words that started after the White House ended TPS for Hondurans ignores the fact that this temporary program has dragged on for 20 years. This isn’t mass deportation despite the disinformation from Democrats. Two decades is long enough and changing the reason Hondurans need sanctuary in the U.S. is not an excuse to keep them here in perpetuity.

Detention Center Unfairness? Real Cost is to Taxpayers.

ICE’s detention center budget last year was close to $3 billion. Immigration court costs reached $440 million. That’s a lot of money for taxpayers to pay to hear about an unfair, abusive, inhumane system that we wouldn’t need without policies that give immigrants a great excuse to cross our scantily protected border.

That's a Democratic Party problem and it’s not going to go away any time soon.

When push comes to shove, spending always comes first for this party and the Democratic yea votes on the omnibus spending bill helped the GOP push this bloated monstrosity through the House and Senate. With that over, it’s time for immigrants to be important again and the Census is the best excuse the party can find to create real Americans from non-citizens.

Using a Republican to reintroduce a pet Democratic immigration bill is a clever ploy. S.1615, the 2017 Dream Act didn’t have much of a chance when it was brought back to life by Senator Lindsey Graham in July 2017. Last week’s unacceptable verdict in the trial of Kate Steinle’s killer makes the Graham Durbin dream bill a tougher sell than ever.

Renewal Deadline Warnings to DREAMers Worked Too Well

Sometimes no matter what you do, it’s never enough. When the Trump administration announced the October 5, 2017 renewal deadline for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals so DREAMers could get their ducks in a row before the program expired, Democrats worked themselves into a lather.
