DEMOCRATS VOTE FOR AMNESTY, NOT BORDER SECURITY

Why Democrats don’t want a secure border

Last Resistance – Frank Camp – 6/13/2013

Yesterday, an amendment was proposed that would require the border to be fully secured for six months prior to the Gang of Eight’s immigration bill taking effect. This amendment would not alter the bill in any way, aside from first requiring a secure border. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid immediately voted it down.

According to Breitbart:

“On Wednesday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid blocked a vote on the border security amendment to the ‘Gang of Eight’ immigration bill offered by Senate Judiciary Committee ranking member Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA)…Grassley was pushing for an up-or-down vote by the Senate on his amendment, which would have required the border to be secured for six full months before any legalization of illegal immigrants in America began. Reid objected to Grassley’s motion, effectively implementing a 60-vote threshold that completely blocked any attempt at a fair vote on the amendment.”

This is peculiar, in that the Democrats often mention that they want a secure border just as much as Republicans do. My belief is that the Democrats see Mexico (as well as numerous other countries using Mexico as a gateway) as a deep resource from which they can benefit. They believe that illegal immigrants will vote for them because they are the ones offering citizenship. Democrats don’t want the border secured, because that will inhibit the flow of potential new voters. With millions of new voters, they will gain an extraordinary upper hand.

READER COMMENT:  The title of this article is misleading. Forget about the partisan slant. For it's not about "party," per se. It's THE GLOBALISTS control-freak Progs who hijacked the Democrat Party from true freedom-loving Liberals loyal to America, and also the globalists who have virtually wrested control of the GOP as well.

Just look at who in Congress is supporting the globalist agenda to give amnesty. Anyone with an IQ above that of a turnip should be able to realize that amnesty would only serve to attract millions more job-stealing illegals here.

The globalists are bent on eroding U.S. sovereignty and dissolving our border. Bush was / is a globalist, among others in the GOP. He was a strong advocate for NAFTA, and just a couple months ago came out in strong support for 'brother-globalist" Obama's amnesty plan.

Non-partisan NumbersUSA rated Obama an F minus on immigration. But also rated McCain an F minus. Any Republican currently supporting amnesty, even with conditions, is a globalist. And that includes Rand Paul. NumbersUSA also rates six Democrats in Congress an A or an A plus. Those are but the few remaining true Liberals loyal to America.

Ted Cruz, despite being Hispanic, is staunchly opposed to amnesty, because he puts America's best interests first.
