Deroy Murdock: Democrats are for border security -- Unless it secures the border
“Yo no creo en fronteras.”

S E E D E D   C O N T E N T




As the debate over illegal immigration roars on, top Democrats insist that they love protecting America’s frontiers.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California promises that, as speaker of the House of Representatives, she will “fight for a strategic, robust national security policy, including strong and smart border security.”

“Democrats have been perfectly clear,” Chuck Schumer of New York said Dec. 19 on the Senate floor. “We want smart, effective border security.”

While such Democratic statements sound reassuring, their votes, actions, and policies should terrify Americans. Despite pro-border-security rhetoric, Democrats repeatedly frustrate attempts to shield the United States from illegal immigrants, particularly those who are violent criminals.

Consider these border-breaking efforts by self-styled border-security Democrats.

• To their credit, Democrats voted in large numbers for border walls — fences, steel beams, and other barriers — in   2006   and   2013 .

But in 2016, Donald J. Trump did something Democrats consider unforgivable: He beat Hillary Clinton. Democrats’ resistance reflex kicked in. Since the night Trump was elected, they have fought him around the clock. This includes battling his proposed border wall by any means necessary.

While asserting that they favor border security, the Democrat left does not even want to throw America’s doors open in an orderly fashion. Instead, while resisting Trump, they facilitate a relentless rush of too-often-criminal potential Democrats who stampede in from every conceivable direction.

So, in their latest opportunity to support true border security — the wall — precisely one Capitol Hill Democrat said, “Yes.” Every other Democrat just said “No!”

This confirms that Democrats are not just the party of open borders. They have become the party of NO borders. For additional proof of this fact, look no farther than Rep. Keith Ellison, who Minnesotans elected last November as their new attorney general. He also is the Deputy Chairman of the Democratic National Committee.

Last year, Ellison appeared at a May Day parade where he wore a T-shirt that read: “Yo no creo en fronteras.” That’s Spanish for “I do not believe in borders.”'

The idea of abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement was a radical, far-left, boutique idea until six months ago. And then Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez rocked the Democratic establishment with an upset victory in her June 26 primary against veteran incumbent Joe Crowley of Queens, New York. Scrapping ICE was a key plank in her platform.

As this new bandwagon gained speed, Democrats tripped over themselves to hop aboard.

“I think we should   get rid of ICE ,” Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., declared the next month. She said this should be “the first thing we should do” if Democrats took over either house of Congress. Too impatient to wait for this to happen, House Democrats last July   introduced legislation   to junk the agency.

In response, Republicans introduced H. Res. 990: “Supporting the officers and personnel who carry out the important mission of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement.” GOP members embraced this measure 226 – 1 last July 18. Among Democrats, only 18 voted Yes, and 34 actually voted No. Meanwhile,   133 Democrats, including Pelosi, chickened out   and voted Present. Thus, Democrats unmasked themselves as openly hostile to ICE or, at best, too gelatinous to back ICE in public. As abolishing ICE has become a standard Democratic talking point, they evidently think America’s immigration laws should go unenforced.
