News\nthat the Democratic House wants to defund all of President Trump\u2019s immigration\nenforcement authority \u2013 as well as his immigration-related executive orders \u2013\nmust cause all clear-headed Americans to finally recognize a core reality: this\nis not your mother\u2019s Democratic Party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even though North Carolina Representative David Price has been in Congress since 1987, he\u2019s now legislating in ways he never would have dared to just a few years back.\u00a0 He\u2019s the author of an amendment to the House DHS Appropriations bill that defunds all of President Trump\u2019s immigration-specific executive orders. These cover a range of enforcement actions, all in the public interest and all designed to ensure enforcement of law Congress has already passed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is\njust the latest example of House Democrats grinding Congress to a halt at a\ntime when a bona fide<\/em> national border\ncrisis has unfolded because of glaring loopholes in our asylum process. The failure of Congress to act is a national\nfailure, of course. It is part of an on-going failure to deal effectively with\na range of national challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But to watch thousands just march across our borders \u2013 transported by criminal cartels, and not respond? When cities and towns are being overwhelmed? What could motivate such behavior?\u00a0 When border crossings are matching records, and when most of those illegal entrants are now invoking fraudulent asylum claims to avoid repatriation, why would Democrats in Congress fail to react? <\/p>\n\n\n\n I know\nwe hear a lot of high sounding rhetoric about \u201cTrump\u2019s cruel immigration\ndetention policies\u201d and such. But the\nreal reason is clear: Democrats are on a\ncrazed path for total one-party political dominance at all cost. They seek to replicate the California model\nnationwide. They plan to do it by utterly destroying U.S. immigration controls.\nThey make no secret of their plans; we can see it in action every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This\ncannot be acceptable here \u2013 it cannot be acceptable for any nation \u2013 if it\nseeks to long endure. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" News that the Democratic House wants to defund all of President Trump\u2019s immigration enforcement authority \u2013 as well as his immigration-related executive orders \u2013 must cause all clear-headed Americans to finally recognize a core reality: this is not your mother\u2019s Democratic Party.
