Democrats Fear Debate about Dreamers Will Pivot to One on ‘Chain Migration’
National Review ^ | 22 January 2018 | John Fund

Posted on 01/22/2018 4:39:57 AM PST by lowbuck

The more Americans focus on immigration policy, the worse the Democrats will look.

No one knows when the government shutdown will be ended, but it’s increasingly likely that Democrats will rue the day they launched it. “I’m concerned that we don’t have an exit strategy,” one Democratic aide for a liberal senator told NBC News on Sunday. He went on to say: “This is a question of who’s going to flinch first.” . . . snip

But they (democrats) should worry that the longer the shutdown debate is focused on immigration, the more Americans will come to realize it’s about our underlying U.S. immigration policy — and Democrats are coming to realize just how shaky defending that ground might become.

Really a good analysis. Even if half correct then President Trump should be able to wrangle a really good deal to end the shutdown.

Time for ALL to stop. Chain migration, anchor babies, welfare for illegals, etc, etc.

The Demorats most certainly would rather have the cab driver from Guatemala than the doctor from Greece. The cabbie would more likely vote liberal whereas the doctor probably has a brain. That’s all the rats want a brainless bot.

If the 3.5 million illegal aliens are given legal status, each one can sponsor parents, siblings, uncles, aunts, grandparents, and others. So “dreamers” are essentially anchor adults. So 3.5 million turns into 25 million new invaders.

This is unfair to them and the GOPeeers who got us into this mess in the first place. We know the Democratic exit strategy - the RINOs will cave so they can get back to their seat at the bar. It's always worked in the past. The RINOs always cave. Always. That's why this Trump maniac has to go.It's upset the whole system of government.

Yes. I was talking to a Greek relative of my cousin (on the other side of her family). She casually mentioned how since she became a US citizen in the 60s, she has brought over 50 family members to the US via chain migration, each one of them with their own families. While these are hard working people and not sucking government funds, they are die-hard democrats. It is completely ridiculous.

They didn’t think this through, obviously. Because they don’t get unlimited immigration and amnesty, they shut down the government, giving conservatives a twofer. Maybe total shutdown is overkill, but hey they did it. Now they have to negotiate it back.

If the shut down needs to continue until there is a Budget with funding for a Border Wall, end of Chain Migration and Lottery Migration, and DACA for no more than the 800,000 they claim there is, make it right, make it quick and make it so.

"Democrats Fear Debate about Dreamers Will Pivot to One on ‘Chain Migration’"

Each illegal becomes 67 democrat voters in ten years. Immigration for democrats is a business plan, dumping their old customers, aborting their would be, and replacing them with reliable "Dreamers" and their chain of spawn front and back.

They made this business plan a decade ago, and there is a live or die struggle to keep it.

According to the Dims, we can’t deport any illegals because that would be separating families.

And, according to the Dims, we can’t stop the chain migration policy for legal immigrants because that would be separating families.

I don’t see President Trump as likely to flinch first.

He knows exactly what the dems true immigration agenda is—he got them to spill it with the “Bring me anything and I’ll sign it,” ruse, which worked like a dream, so to speak. The technical term for it is a box, a stick, and a piece of cheese.

Agree. These immigrants Obama imported from third world countries like Somalia and the Sudan are literal shi-holes. Yes, the people there defecate anywhere they are from city street to behind their grass hut. Look at the life expectancy in these hellholes. We do not need or want filthy Somali Muslims and their 200 relative families here.
