Well, of course they do. None of their proposals are actually aimed at helping U.S. citizens. They are either about protecting illegals, raising the cost of living for U.S. citizens, or giving the federal government more power over the lives of U.S. citizens
Pelosi pledges to pass Dream Act with Democratic House majority
Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi vowed to pass legislation that would put so-called Dreamers — young undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children — on a pathway to citizenship when her party retakes control of Congress’ lower chamber in January.
“America draws strength from our long, proud heritage as a nation of immigrants. In the Majority, Democrats will work to reverse the Republicans’ destructive anti-immigrant agenda,” Pelosi said in a statement Saturday, responding to a letter sent Thursday by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. “Our House Democratic Majority will once again pass the Dream Act to end the uncertainty and fear inflicted on patriotic young men and women across the country.”
Lawmakers in the Caucus urged Pelosi — who is vying to secure her second spell as speaker of the House during the upcoming congressional session — to schedule votes on legislation to codify protections for recipients of the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program and for immigrants with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) within the first 100 days of the 116th Congress.
“We will protect TPS recipients and those fleeing unimaginable violence,” Pelosi added in her statement.
Rep. Adriano Espaillat, D-New York, one of the members of Congress who signed the letter to Pelosi, told CBS News that Democrats should move ahead “expeditiously” in January to pass bills that shield Dreamers and TPS holders from deportation, without providing any funding for a wall on the southern border — which President Trump and many Republicans have said needs to be included in any bipartisan immigration proposal.
“I think the Dream Act should be taken on alone, with no poison pills attached to it,” Espaillat said.
TPS is meant to be, get this, temporary. Getting beyond that, the big thing will be their push to give the Dreamers amnesty and citizenship in what they refer to as a “clean bill”, which means no funding for the wall, nor enforcement measures, nothing in it other than providing that citizenship without requiring any penalties, taxes, nor requirements. And if it is like the other Dreamer bills from the Dems, it will allow the parents of the Dreamers to remain in the U.S., even though they were the ones who “sinned.” Remember the talking point about “not punishing the children for the sins of the parent(s)”? Past Dem bills have rewarded the parent(s) with the ability to stay in the U.S. as a permanent legal resident at the least.
And some of their bills have allowed the Dreamers to bring in family members from other countries the minute they get citizenship. And they won’t stop with the Dreamers
The Congressional Hispanic Caucus also stressed in their letter to Pelosi that passing comprehensive immigration reform should be a priority when Democrats take control of the House for the first time since 2011. The Latino lawmakers said the bill should include provisions to allow deported U.S. military veterans to come back to the country, end “the militarization” of the southern border, reunify still-separated migrant families and provide a pathway to citizenship for the approximately 11 million undocumented immigrants residing in the U.S.
All this does is entice more to come to the U.S. illegally.
“These hardworking, taxpaying undocumented workers have enriched our country, while contributing their knowledge, traditions, and intellect to the fabric of our culture. They are part of America’s economic engine,” they wrote in their letter.
These same Democrats also denigrate rural farmers and other non-big city dwellers who are the backbone of the economic engine.
