Latino, African American and Asian American Democratic members of Congress said on Wednesday they plan to "fight together" against Trump administration policies that impact their communities.

The chairs of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus (CAPAC), Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), and Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) — collectively known as the Tri-Caucus — met Wednesday on Capitol Hill with the five Democratic senators of color as part of a strategy to bring Democratic minority legislators together as a bloc. They said this was an effective way to push back against any Trump administration policies or GOP proposals they consider detrimental to the Asian American, Black, and Hispanic communities.

All together there are 127 voting members in the Tri-Caucus.

First on their radar screen are the current budget negotiations and the looming possibility of a government shutdown, should no agreement be reached by Friday. The legislators said they intend to make their voices heard on that issue and beyond.

Why not? Any puny judge gets their way. Why not a bunch of outvoted libtard legislators. Let’s just pretend the Dems are in power.

Interesting. A group founded on race. Can a white guy join? So instead of fighting for all Americans, these bozos just want to help certain races.

Dear victim groups. The number of non white countries VASTLY outnumbers the number of white countries, but for some reason immigration only flows one way. Why is that?

The “Third World” members are now making their ongoing conquest of The United States overt. If the present trend continues they will be our masters in a generation.

And yet some do still want to “belong”. The Democratic Party will be responsible for the destruction of America; they’re funding, recruiting, and energizing it in multiple forms. Stupidity, anti-Christian agendas, absurdity and lawlessness are their products they sell.

A little hyperbole to lighten the mood.

Trump needs to close down these anti-American “separatist” groups. And stop funding them.

Last I heard, members of these separatists groups each get an extra ten thousand tax dollars....to do with as they please.

That’s over and above the separatists’ salaries, perks, office budgets.......and all they can move offshore from funding bills.
