Pelosi on enforcing immigration law: ‘What’s the point?’
American Thinker ^ | 06/25/2019 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 06/25/2019 7:56:31 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Nancy Pelosi has gone off the deep end and questioned the legitimacy of enforcing laws that she disagrees with.  Anarchy beckons when the top lawmaker in the House of Representatives, third in line for the presidency, takes the position that there is no point in enforcing legal verdicts that are the product of due process.  Ryan Saavedra of the Daily Wire has the story:

Speaking at an event in Elmhurst, New York, Pelosi attacked President Donald Trump over the raids from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers that were scheduled to happen over the weekend but were delayed after sensitive information was leaked to the public about the locations of the raids.

"When I saw that the president was going to have these raids, I mean it was so appalling," Pelosi said. "It's outside the circle of civilized human behavior to just be kicking down doors, splitting up families, and the rest of that, in addition to the injustices that are happening at the border. We have legislation to go forward to address those needs, but in terms of interior enforcement, what's the – what's the point?"

If we are going to make obeying the law optional, then I see no point in paying my federal income taxes. But of course, I am not a member of a preferred minority, so I am out of luck when it comes to support from Pelosi or any Democrats.

President Trump has not yet tweeted about this outrageous, seditious (look it up!) from the highest ranking Democrat.

At what point in time do we, the American citizen and taxpayer, get to sue Congress for not doing their job and upholding the supreme law of the land, i.e. the Constitution of the United States?

These are people who have had their day in court and have been ordered deported.

These are the easiest removals.

If we can’t even remove those adjudicated as unacceptable, we are finished as a country.

Yep, it’s that simple.

The Democrats have become focused on living lawless lives as our Representatives.

This should be grounds for removal.

At what point in the future are at least a few Democrats going to wake up and realize what their Party has become?

It’s led by a woman who is clearly losing her faculties and House committees are chaired by more than a few who have lost any decency they once may have had.

It's a freak show, that's what they have become. It would be hilarious if they weren't a real danger.

I can see that Pelosi sound bite run alongside photos of stats showing economic damage, that courtroom scene of that cop killer, photos of those murdered by illegals, etc.

If the GOP doesn’t make such an ad, they’re complicit in the invasion.

Nancy Pelosi has no power to do anything with Trump's ICE raids. They will continue soon.

She's blowing off to her base. "Trump's the bad guy. Terrible Trump."

After the leaker of the ops plans for these ICE enforcement raids is confirmed and gotten rid of, these operations will start.

The targeted groups of illegals have already been adjudicated on their asylum status and been told to go home.

Trump is just making sure that happens.

I was very upset with Trump’s unforced error at announcing a date to finally start deporting millions of illegal aliens, his staff immediately contradicting him, and then him backing down. We’ve seen this cycle over and over during the Trump administration. But, it does provide some great contrast when Pelosi, 3rd in line, the speaker of the house, describes the work of the government as unjust and questions directly the whole point of enforcing our laws. Did she have a “senior moment”? Is this really where she and Democrats want to stand on the issue of illegal immigration and, especially, regarding those folks, the 97% or whatever, that fail to attend hearings and are ordered deported. She’s okay with the lawbreaking? She’s okay with the cost in money and lives caused by these illegal aliens that our government has determined do not belong here?

The point is that the American People have chose their laws. YOU do not get to decide you piece of filth!
