Philly Mayor: 'Disgraceful' if Irish-Catholic Lawmakers Don't Vote for DREAM Act (Chain Migration)
PJ Media ^ | 11/25/2017 | NICHOLAS BALLASY

Posted on 11/27/2017 3:20:39 PM PST by Kid Shelleen

Philadelphia Democratic Mayor Jim Kenney said “so what” if a “clean” DREAM Act gives DREAMers the opportunity to provide their undocumented immediate relatives with a path to U.S. citizenship. ---SNIP--- Kenney said Rep. Pat Meehan (R-Pa.) and Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) should vote for a clean DREAM Act as Irish-Americans. When President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals was rescinded in September, Toomey said, "Congress needs to pass legislation to accommodate these young people while simultaneously addressing the other challenges within our deeply broken immigration system, including stopping dangerous sanctuary cities, strengthening border security, and cracking down on companies that hire people who are here illegally."

* The liberals are already getting ready for the next wave of illegals after the "Dreamers" become citizens.
* Mentally ill liberals suddenly find religion when convenient.
* Kenney repeats the big lie that today's illegals are like the Irish that came to America legally on coffin ships and gave up everything to take a chance in America.

Apparently this idiot believes the way to “fix our broken immigration system” is to not have one.

Good to see Mr. Kenney validating every suspicion us WASPs ever had about letting in the Catholic Iriah.

As if we didn’t already know from the Kennedy Treason called the 1965 Immigration Act, he isn’t interested in the welfare of the American working class: just bringing in more people who agree with him that destroying Anglo-America through invasion is a good thing.

Maybe he could check with the rest of the Irish to see if they planned on ending up in the Mexican Nightmare, not the American Dream.

Yes, it’s just disgraceful for people whose relatives complied with our laws, applied, came when they got permission, and did what was required of them, not to sign onto the demands of illegal aliens who came here illegally and never complied with our laws.

One group saluted our flag, melded in, and thanked God they made it.

The other group trashed our nation, refused to become Americanized, and showed contempt for almost everyone along the way.

The group that saluted the flag went to the front lines during the Civil War and shed blood for their new country.

Yes, very similar to how the Indians were suspicious about letting you WASPs in...

I’d imagine many of them did in subsequent wars also.

What is disgraceful is U.S. elected officials taking the side of fraudulently documented foreigners against the citizens and the rule of law.

As an American Catholic with almost entirely Irish background, I will observe that Mr. Kenney is chock-full of the stinky brown stuff.

My ancestors, as well as those of every Irish-American Catholic that I know, came LEGALLY. Equating that with support for illegal aliens makes no sense at all.

As an aside, Irish-Catholics used to be a very reliable Dem voting block, giving them 85-90% of their votes from 1850s right up to Kennedy in 1960. Now that vote splits pretty much 50-50 most of the time.

As immigrant groups (Hispanics) begin to assimilate, and move up the economic ladder they will vote more and more Republican as the years go by.

It's always odd that atheists seem to think they know what Christians should do, think, or vote. Thanks Kid Shelleen.

Man you do not know many Mexicans if you think they will vote Republican in any numbers.

I see well off Mexican Americans vote Dem so they can get perqs and amnesty for poor Mexicans.

More Mexican than American just like Mayor more Irish than American.
