Nancy Pelosi calls merit-based immigration "condescending;" says she's fearful for Roe v. Wade
CBS News ^ | May 16, 2019

As the Trump administration is set to unveil its latest iteration of immigration reform, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi slammed the proposal for more merit-based immigration as "condescending" and signaled that Democrats would not support legislation that does not include a pathway to citizenship.

A senior administration official told CBS News that the president's proposal aims to alter the composition of incoming legal immigrants, with a focus on increasing the share of highly skilled immigrants. The plan also calls for improving physical border security.

"They say family is without merit -- are they saying most of the people that come to the United States in the history of our country are without merit, because they don't have an engineering degree," Pelosi asked rhetorically at her weekly press conference.

She scoffed at the idea of "merit" as a policy description. Rather, she said, it's "non-merit -- it means merit in the eyes of Donald Trump."

Nan rips President Trump's immigration reform plan before he announces it, that's Pelosi's kind of bipartisanship.

Condescending? That’s something Pelousy knows a lot about,
given
she basically told the Pope to F... off about abortion.
she basically told America to F... off when she crammed O-care through Congress without even letting our elected representatives read the damned bill.
she basically told America to F...off when she doctored the certification paper claiming that O was somehow magically eligible.

Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate, / And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
That’s the answer to that question contained in Isaiah 6:11-12.

She uses merit, as she defines it, to determine who gets into her house. So why can’t we do the same with our country?

Pelosi labelled the new Alabama abortion law “heartbreaking”.

Is it heartbreaking when an innocent child doesn’t get an opportunity at life because of one’s perceived problems?

Does she know(or care)that an abortion literally breaks the heart of the innocent preborn child by causing it to stop beating?

Does she know(or care)that one method of abortion involves injecting poison directly into the child’s heart?

Canada and Australia have merit based immigration. It is exactly the right thing to do.

What does immigration have to do w Roe v. Wade?

Or does she just want to complain about everything all at once?

Pelosi opposes President Trump not because she disagrees with his plan, but because it is HIS plan. She has already gone on record that she will oppose the President on everything.

She could not care less if her opposition hurts our nation.

She is the worse sort of politician, she is morally corrupt.

Probably one of her aides had to make an impromptu note for and outline so Nan wouldn’t forget what to say and gave her two subjects to pick from but she yapped about both. LOL
