Democrats doomed in 2020 for not preventing illegal entry into USA

By David Singer - posted Thursday, 25 July 2019

Surely Democrats should be concerned that the existing bipartisan policy agenda of allowing the legal admission of 1 million people a year can be contemptuously avoided by hundreds of thousands of illegal entrants coming into America through the southern border with Mexico or illegally overstaying expired visas.

The unwillingness of the Democrats to pursue reforming serious loopholes in the immigration laws that enable illegal entry into America has been nothing short of scandalous.

The law is clearly defective and needs to be amended. It is being exploited in a manner that was never intended. An urgent overhaul is needed.

Until it is amended however – the existing laws must be respected and enforced.

But the law is not a one way instrument when it comes to illegal entrants – who use its provisions to stay in America. It also has to be obeyed when those same laws are used to legally remove those who have entered illegally.

Sanctuary cities that undermine the rule of law must also be rejected as a tool to prevent the law being enforced.

Trump is set to make mincemeat of the Democrats for embracing illegal immigration in 2020.
