Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday [full video here]. With an important deadline looming this Friday for what was supposed to be an agreement on allowing so-called illegals Dreamers (aren't all children supposed to be dreamers?)to stay you would think Democrats would be working overtime to achieve a positive result. Instead, one after another, Democrats used their time to attack Trump and insist that he called certain countries "sh#tholes." Never mind that Secretary Nielsen said over and over that she never heard Trump use that word, which matches with the word of other senators. Never mind also that Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) has a history of misrepresenting what was actually said in White House meetings.
Apparently it's more important for Democrats to accuse Trump of being a racist and a Nazi than to actually do something to save the DACA children. Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) who was NOT at the meeting with Trump declared he is "seething with anger" and had "tears of rage." That for him was more important than fixing immigration.
Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill, who also demands an immigration fix said about Trump: "[W]e now know that we have in the White House someone who could lead the Ku Klux Klan in the United States of America, somebody who could be the leader of the neo-Nazi." No effort there to find any reasonable compromise.
The list of Dems who have purposely sabotaged talks on immigration by this charade over "sh#tholes" could go on and on.
I guess Trump was right:
Once again, Democrats have shown that playing politics means more to them than standing up for the people they pretend to care about. Too bad DACA kids. If Dems have their way you better start packing!Senator Dicky Durbin totally misrepresented what was said at the DACA meeting. Deals can’t get made when there is no trust! Durbin blew DACA and is hurting our Military.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 15, 2018
