Jim Acosta proves President Trump’s point while attempting to debunk him. Becomes a meme. (Michael P. Ramirez)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Those on the left like to lecture us about welcoming “all immigrants”. They spin our argument, “We welcome legal immigration, but not illegal immigration,” as “opposition” to all immigration.<\/p>\n

Enter President Trump, and his push to build the wall.<\/p>\n

Both Republicans and Democrats talked about the importance of legal immigration versus illegal immigration. Video and audio is available attesting to this. But, now that President Trump is doing something about reducing the flow of illegal immigration, the left continues to put a negative spin on his intentions.<\/p>\n

Added to this spin is the doubling down on resisting federal efforts to prevent additional illegals from coming in… And they’ve continued to argue about “protecting those that are already here”.<\/p>\n

You guys have seen the resulting memes on social media about welcoming them in. They’ve even been labeled, “asylum seekers”. The waves coming to our country? Not a “threat” not an “emergency”.<\/p>\n

Of course, those saying that are doing so from the safety of their platforms and the safety of their distance to the border. One made it a point to go to a border barrier to try to emphasize the “no danger” claim.<\/p>\n

President Trump, while playing “3-D chess”, suggests the idea of moving illegal aliens to sanctuary cities. Given the left’s arguments, one would think that the President’s “backing” away from one of his stances… In exchange for “letting them stay”… Would be a good thing.<\/p>\n

It is a good thing, right?<\/p>\n

Not only does this idea entertain not sending them back, but it entertains transporting them to locations where they could stay. Win-win? Nope. The left is protesting this, and are throwing the words “punishment” and “pawns” around.<\/p>\n

From Fox News:<\/span><\/p>\n

“The extent of this Administration’s cynicism and cruelty cannot be overstated,” Pelosi spokeswoman Ashley Etienne said in a statement Friday. “Using human beings–including little children–as pawns in their warped game to perpetuate fear and demonize immigrants is despicable, and in some cases, criminal.”<\/p>\n

She added: “The American people have resoundingly rejected this Administration’s toxic anti-immigrant policies, and Democrats will continue to advance immigration policies that keep us safe and honor our values.”<\/p>\n

Officials stressed that the plan never went anywhere.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cruelty to whom? If the illegals don’t get shipped back, or they don’t get denied entry, as this idea suggested, these illegals wouldn’t think it to be “cruel”. The reality is that “not being hasty about sending them back” has more to do with virtue signaling, and possibly vote diluting, than it has to do with “being kind” and “not being racist”.<\/p>\n

It’s easier to “do good” when others are bearing the brunt of the sacrifices needed to do good, than it is to actually be the one that makes the sacrifices needed to do good. Taking these illegals in “should be done”, but not in the neighborhoods, or property, of those advocating that we should just take them in.<\/p>\n

Sanctuary cities are predominantly liberal. If they manage to get some of these illegals to vote, they could potentially add to the vote tally for the Democrat candidate. Not a real value to areas that already vote Democrat, other than the added headaches.<\/p>\n

Why not shift these illegals to conservative locations, where they could endure the problems that come with these illegals at the same time their votes are diluted? Make an area, or state, go blue without having to deal with the problems, but still be able to mislead the public about the Democrats having the moral high ground.<\/p>\n
