Flashback Bill Clinton: We Won’t Tolerate Immigration By People Whose First Act Is To Break The Law
Townhall ^ | 7/16/2019 | Timothy Meads

As President Donald J. Trump continues to insist that America's immigration laws must be enforced, Democratic officials keep responding that the president is racist for wanting to deport illegal aliens. News of imminent deportation raids targeting more than 2,000 individuals with final court removal orders led to upheaval over the weekend. Dozens protested. On Twitter, the far-left, and even supposedly moderate Democrats, gave out advice on how to avoid being deported. Many said there was nothing like this ever before in American history. Well, more than 20 years ago, President Bill Clinton had deportation raids of his own -- and these were arguably done with an even tougher policy than Trump uses. In short, Slick Willy said, "whether they’re innocent or guilty of the crimes they were charged with in court, they’re still here illegally, and they should be sent out of the country."

As reported by the Los Angeles Times, President Clinton used one of his radio addresses in May of 1995 to tell the American people, “Our nation was built by immigrants...But we won’t tolerate immigration by people whose first act is to break the law as they enter our country.”

This is the kind of stuff that needs to be dragged out and thrown at the other side. I did a search on Clinton's quote and found a Los Angeles Times article from 1995 that has this quote:

“Every day, illegal aliens show up in court who are charged. Some are guilty and surely some are innocent. Some go to jail and some don’t. But they’re all illegal aliens. And whether they’re innocent or guilty of the crimes they were charged with in court, they’re still here illegally, and they should be sent out of the country.”

No, that wasn't from Donald Trump, but from the man who was president at the time.

That is why I post articles like this. Hit them with their own words.

If Biden gets the nomination (among other things) throw at him his 4 times now saying that Social Security and Medicare will have to be cut. And keep throwing it at him.

I already posted the one from CSPAN on here at FR.

Continued.

The Clintons then come out trying to defend themselves and they get into it with very far left Democrats like AOC, Tlaib, Omar, Fauxcahontas, Harris, Saanders, etc.

He should express it word for word.

When I did my search, I just took a quick glimpse over the articles that up. Another interesting thing is that the position taken by Clinton 25 years ago is labeled “white supremacist” when somebody advocates it today.

I’m going to do some more research on this. Looks like a gold mine of material out there.

“Our nation was built by immigrants...But we won’t tolerate immigration by people whose first act is to break the law as they enter our country.”

Trump should tweet that, forgetting to attribute it to Clinton. Wait ten minutes for the Dem outrage, then remember to post that Clinton said it!

Corrupt members of the press who use this issue to demonize us have never seen this... never remember it , and if it was shoved in their little faces they would be unable to read it. Bias is an ugly thing and the press has it in spades.
