Just like the national Democratic figures, those in Iowa are uncaring that people who shouldn’t even be in this country are harming US citizens, and will stick with their pro-illegals stance
The killing of Iowa college student Mollie Tibbetts, allegedly at the hands of an illegal immigrant, has placed a spotlight on the state’s Democratic party, which this summer denounced federal immigration laws and called for local officials not to enforce them.
But Iowa Democratic party officials on Wednesday would not say whether they stood by their immigration platform, and instead characterized the matter as a “partisan fight.”
“The Iowa Democratic Party is going to honor the wishes of the Tibbetts family to let them grieve in private and will not turn this senseless tragedy into a partisan fight,” Iowa Democratic Party chairman Troy Price told Fox News.
The national uproar over Tibbetts’ slaying also threatens to upend two key House races underway in the state, which are considered potentially pivotal to Democrats’ chances of retaking the House in November’s midterm elections.
The 2018 Iowa Democratic Party platform, in a section entitled “Statement of Issues,” reads: “We oppose: detaining undocumented minors, immigrant detention/deportation quotas, locally enforcing federal immigration laws, mass raids/related enforcement practices, religious exclusion, ‘papers please,’ unnecessary travel-bans, abrogating birthright-citizenship, separating minor children from their parents when they are trying to enter the country, internment and concentration camps.”
The Iowa Democrats and the people running to unseat Republicans are hoping this all blows over, because being pro-illegal alien certainly won’t help their chances of winning those seats. And it just goes to show that Democrats prioritize illegal aliens over U.S. citizens.
