SCHUMER: Raids are Snaring "Law-Abiding Illegals"
Washington Examiner ^ | 2-13-2017 | Sarah Ferrechio

Posted on 02/14/2017 10:04:12 PM PST by tcrlaf

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said the Trump administration is rounding up and deporting "law-abiding" illegal immigrants and is demanding "details" about who is being targeted in a series of recent raids carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

"I have always supported smart immigration enforcement that helps to keep our country safe, but raids targeting law-abiding immigrants and treating those with traffic violations the same as murderers and robbers will only achieve the opposite," Schumer, D-N.Y., said in a statement Monday.

SCHUMER: Raids are Snaring “Law-Abiding Illegals

“I have always supported smart immigration enforcement that helps to keep our country safe, but raids targeting law-abiding immigrants and treating those with traffic violations the same as murderers and robbers will only achieve the opposite,” Schumer, D-N.Y., said in a statement Monday.

People, There’s nothing in this statement where he strings those three words together. The democrats have trained themselves that nobody is illegal. Whenever they talk about immigrants they mean illegal immigrants but they never say illegal.

So this headline is kind of misleading even if it does accurately represent what was being said. What he means is that the crime of entering the border unlawfully is not a crime that should lead to deportation. And that is the source of the cognitive dissonance. Because deportation should be the primary sentence for every unlawful border jumper. The democrats have sold a package of lies to the American people. They have swallowed it digested it and it is now in the mainstream affecting the cognitive functions of half of America.

So don’t try and string those words together and attribute them to schumer for public consumption. Even if you can explain yourself the point is he never said those words. Even if sane people know that’s what he meant. We all know we’re not dealing with sane people today.

Old Schumy is a couple sandwiches shy of a picnic for sure. This has to be the most idiotic statement to come out of DC in some time and that’s really saying something.

“To be fair, Schumer said ‘law-abiding immigrant’”

Thanks - I was going to point that out as well. HOWEVER - these frickin’ Liberals are always blurring the lines. BUT - we should be more clear in explaining things (e.g. “while Schumer said immigrants, these are illegal aliens”), but it doesn’t make for good headlines.

“Law-abiding Illegals”? Does Schumer edit the stuff that comes out of his mouth or does he just riff from a set of talking points?

Idiocrasy! It is a stupid movie about the future of absolutely stupid, brain dead people and sadly reminds me of where a good chunk of people now seem to be here in America!

I watched that movie almost a decade ago and had no idea at the time I would live to see America so dumbed down. The left has devolved to the point the majority of them aren't smart enough to hold a decent paying job.

Trump is playing the Democrats perfectly. By startingf with M13 scumbags and a few DREAMERS he keeps them off balance. They MUST attack him and defend all of these people even the M13 swine. That undermines their arguments and makes it harder to get support outside of the loony left and Soros paid rent a mobs. Brilliant!

Murderers get deported last, not first, until all illegals are gone.
