Showdown at State Of The Union speech suggested by Fox News
ABC News reported over
the weekend that: “Several House Democrats will bring Dreamers as guests to
next Tuesday’s State of the Union Address, a move that comes as the White House
announced it will present a new immigration framework to Congress Monday that
offers a pathway to citizenship for as many as 1.8 million children brought to
the U.S. illegally.”
At least 24 House Democrats will
bring a Dreamer to watch from the House gallery as President Donald
Trump delivers his first State of the Union speech, according to a list a
congressional official provided to ABC News.
USA Today confirmed
that report Monday morning writing: “Democrats hope to send
a message to President Trump by inviting a host of undocumented immigrants who
were brought to the U.S. as children to attend his first State of the Union
address on Tuesday.”
House Democratic Leader Nancy
Pelosi, of California, and more than two dozen Democrats have invited so-called
“DREAMers,” whose status has been in jeopardy since the Trump administration
announced it would phase out legal protections that former president Barack
Obama established.
Fox News responded
with an opinion piece this morning written by Todd Starnes,
the host of Fox News & Commentary.
Wasting no time, the article’s title
is frightening on its face: “If Pelosi brings ‘Dreamers’ to the State of
the Union, Trump should bring ICE agents.”
“ABC News reports at least 24 House Democrats plan to bring illegals — the so-called “Dreamers” — to watch the Tuesday night speech from the House gallery,” Starnes wrote, adding that: “The illegal aliens will be sitting in seats that in previous years were meant for brave military heroes, law-abiding taxpayers and America’s best and brightest. The sad truth is that Democrats would rather align themselves with foreign invaders who violated our national sovereignty, thumbed their nose at the rule of law, and pillaged and plundered taxpayer-funded resources.”
Horrifyingly, Starnes digs deeper,
writing:
And now, Pelosi has decided to turn
the U.S. Capitol into a sanctuary – a safe haven – for people who are living in
our nation illegally.
In response, President Trump should
fill the remainder of the House gallery with Immigration and Customs
Enforcement agents.
Imagine the message he could send to
the world if he directed ICE agents to arrest every illegal alien in the House
chamber – live on national television.
Continuing, Starnes wrote that:
There are millions of immigrant
Dreamers who want to come to the United States legally, but the Democrats have
decided a rampaging mob of profane illegals would make better citizens.
So, if President Trump truly wants
to demonstrate a no-nonsense, “America First” policy, he should round up every
illegal alien attending the State of the Union address and put them on school
buses with a one-way ticket back across the border.
Starnes concluded his Fox
News op-ed suggesting the arrest of Pelosi and other Democrats:
And if it’s not asking too much, perhaps the Justice Department could launch an investigation to determine if Pelosi and the other Democrats broke federal law by harboring illegal aliens.
It’s time to put a stop to this
lawlessness.
California has already been overrun
by the foreign invaders. New York City waved the white flag without so much as
a fight. We must not allow the Democrats to surrender Capitol Hill.
