It’s great how she talks up illegals while denigrating legal citizens, and especially those who came to this country the right way and went through the process to become citizens

(Breitbart) Illegal migrants “embody the best of our nation,” says the leader of the Democrats in the House of Representatives, Rep. Nancy Pelosi.

The flattery for migrants came December 21 as Pelosi urged the House Committee on Rules to include an amnesty for 3.25 million ‘dreamer’ illegals in the two-week budget resolution. According to Politico:

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi urged the committee to add an amendment to the short-term spending bill that would attach the bipartisan DREAM Act, H.R. 3440 (115).  Pelosi said Congress had a “duty and obligation” to protect undocumented immigrants …

“They embody the best of our nation: patriotism, hard work, perseverance,” Pelosi said of DREAMers. She added that Congress shouldn’t “leave them to celebrate the holidays in fear, watching their DACA protection expire.”

The best of our nation: coming illegally, demanding we do what they want, refusing to assimilate, requiring we give them stuff. At least, in Democrat World, that’s what they think is the best.

The migrants’ skill level is very low, according to education tests. For example, the college-graduate rate for the ‘dreamer’ illegals is roughly one-tenth the college graduation rate for Americans.

Relatively few of the migrants speak English. The Center for Immigration Studies estimates that “perhaps 24 percent of the DACA-eligible population fall into the functionally illiterate category and another 46 percent have only ‘basic’ English ability.”

With few skills,  many of the migrants choose to accept economic transfers from Americans’ welfare programs.

Many of the ‘dreamers’ who got DACA work permits from former President Barack Obama have already committed crimes.

Yup, definitely the best, Nancy!
