My kid is an immigrant and came to America legally. I look with awe and wonder at him, remembering how his only wish was to come to America and have a family. It peeves me that illegal aliens are allowed to not only jump in line ahead of him like the schoolyard bully, but even reap benefits that he could not get (while he was waiting for his citizenship my son could not legally attend school for credit though illegals usually can). Angel Families surely feel what I feel, though much more magnified. Their pain is our pain and we have an obligation to them first to stop the flow of illegal aliens.
A few of my conservative colleagues are very upset with President Trump for his Saturday speech, offering a deal on funding for The Wall and ending the partial government shutdown. Ann Coulter tweeted that in voting for Trump, instead we got Jeb. One wrote that the President’s speech will divide the GOP. I beg to differ. The President’s speech will unite Republicans and conservatives as never before and was simply brilliant.
While there was an element of giving the democrats something they supposedly wanted with DACA, the truth is their rejection of it shows that DACA is but a political pawn for them. Further, the democrats rejection shows that they are not willing to play ball. Finally, the democrats rejection of the President’s speech, even before it happened, shows just how radical the party has become. This leftist radicalism will galvanize not only the Republican Party but also, Independent, and union/blue collar democrats who believe in fairness.
