VandeHei on MSNBC: Dem 'Enthusiasm' is to Protect Illegals, Not Borders

I don't think Jim VandeHei realized what a stunning admission he was making. Discussing the shutdown impasse over funding the border wall, the Axios co-founder said:
"I think the [Democrat] party's changed on immigration. I think the feeling that they have to appear to be really strong by supporting a lot more border security, that that has waned, and that the enthusiasm of the Democratic party is for protecting immigrants."
Think about that. VandeHei spoke of Dems protecting "immigrants." But what kind of immigrants surreptitiously cross the border? By definition, they are illegal immigrants. So VandeHei's statement amounts to a stinging indictment of the Dems. Democrats have more "enthusiasm" for protecting illegal immigrants than for protecting the borders of the United States.

I agree with Newt as he said this morning the GOP should take ads on all networks including Spanish speaking and tell people the Dems don’t want DACA reform.

All you have to know is this:
If it was discovered the Hispanic vote broke 60-40 for the GOP the border would be shut tight 2 weeks. Instead of ubderstanding this fact many of the idiot Republicans actually beleive the rats care about these people.

Supporting and protecting Illegals is the key to a complete power grab.
The rats are so transparent.

The Democrats protect people who break US laws. Great example for their children. Wonder if they think other laws will not be broken.

I dont want DACA reform either. If the baby illegals are made citizens, they will be able to sponsor their scofflaw parents who broke our immigration laws, as prospective citizens. That is wrong. They will also be able to bring in their grandparents to collect social security, and their extended families to also collect a check. We already have plenty of dependent citizens. We dont need to import more.

Most LEGALS hate illegals..
The GOP could turn it around if they shut the border and deported all the illegals on welfare and criminals.

Take a good look at the picture of a hired gun, a traitor, a disingenuous wordsmith, one who will sell out the traditions and laws of this country for political power and money.
He doesn’t give a damn about you and your family.
