It is simply injustice to one’s own citizens dressed up as “humanitarianism” — a policy as unjust as parents who, in determining the security of their home, give greater consideration to strangers than their own children. The Pelosi-led Democrats sound like Charles Dickens’s character Mrs. Jellyby, who neglected her own children while fretting over the fate of a tiny tribe in Africa. They reserve their strongest feelings for people whom they have never met. They congratulate themselves on their morality while failing to discharge the moral duties most immediate to them — to their own constituents and countrymen.
But they, of course, suspend that abstract moral code the moment it collides with their personal lives. As President Trump pointed out: “Some have suggested a barrier is immoral. Then why do wealthy politicians build walls, fences, and gates around their homes? They don’t build walls because they hate the people on the outside, but because they love the people on the inside. The only thing that is immoral is that politicians do nothing and continue to allow more innocent people to be so horribly victimized.”
The moral common sense once taken for granted by both parties has become an occasion for insuperable “controversy,” as Democrats complain about the “dysfunction” of government while refusing to fulfill one of its most basic responsibilities. They often slur Republicans for not “believing in government,” even as they abdicate its core function, providing for the security of the people who consent to that government. Pelosi’s casual call for suspending the tradition of the State of the Union address fits with her casual rejection of the traditional understanding of government and makes her party look like its only goal is burning down Trump’s Washington.

But it's definitely a combination of the two. Term limits, please. In Congress and the federal judiciary.
They’re good at projection. Every time they project, it needs to be thrown back in their ugly face.
Preserving US sovereignty = Immoral
Butchering millions of unborn babies = Moral.
Democrats own this Innocent Blood for Votes campaign.
Even if they stop today and support an Israeli style wall, they are accessories to murder for all the innocent lives lost due to their open boarders policies of the past.
They should all be in prison.
That border needs to be taken care of. We know these barriers work if done properly. They are part of the solution.
And hanged.
This is excellent.
We know about Mrs. Jellyby and her fawning concern for obtuse, distant, and unknowable moral considerations while remaining constitutionally incapable of dressing herself and feeding her children.
These are the liberal snowflakes of our world. Their vaunted dignity is a pathetic shadow of genuine morality. Their raving is lost in the maelstrom they deny, that threatens to overwhelm us.
Our beloved President Trump acts the role of alpha male father, disciplining children sorely in need of corporal punishment.
On a tangential note, it is not so much the steely courage of Nancy Pelosi as it is her blind arrogance when confronted by her deafening stupidity.
What’s immoral is continuing to entice these people to come run the gauntlet of extreme human abuses to try and get here.
What’s immoral is calling the Democrats the “open borders party” when the Republicans (on this issue) are worse.
• Butchering millions of unborn babies
• Billions for med care for illegals
• Billions for courts to process their crimes
• Billions in assistance for their victims
• Billions for increased law enforcement all over the country
• Billions in add’l. benefits for widows & children of murdered officers
• Billions for add’l. personnel in community fire departments
• Billions for add’l. personnel and resources for US schools
• Billions for add’l. personnel and resources for US hospitals/ER’s
• Billions for maint. of all public spaces: playgrounds, roads, etc…
All the community services, resources, etc. are paid for by the people IN those communities who use and rely on those resources… it’s why they’re paying TAXES.
If people without a SSN work and are paid in the US, but DO NOT PAY TAXES, then they are accessing these resources for FREE!
That is called theft and IT’S IMMORAL!!
How’s ‘bout I buy a new Cadillac… and tell the dealer: “Oh-take the bill to my neighbor…HE will pay for my BS lifestyle.” NOT!!
Bkmk
The virtue signal of "open borders" is significantly more important than the safety and well-being of our citizens.
