Politics is more divided than ever, and the polarization has almost been exclusively on one side of the ideological spectrum. It’s all in reaction to President Trump.
Take immigration as an example. Just a decade ago, the Secure Fence Act of 2006, a bill authorizing the construction of 700 miles of fencing along the U.S.-Mexican border, passed the Senate 80-19. Among those voting in favor were Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer, Diane Feinstein, and Joe Biden.
And just listen to the rhetoric.
“Illegal immigration is wrong, plain and simple” Chuck Schumer said during a 2009 speech. This was during Obama’s presidency, mind you. “People who enter the United States without our permission are illegal aliens,” he continued. “When we use phrases like ‘undocumented workers,’ we convey a message to the American people that their government is not serious about combating illegal immigration.”
Schumer lists seven principles for immigration reform that are remarkably sensible coming from him.
- Illegal immigration is wrong, and future illegal immigration must be curtailed.
- Control of borders is needed through increased infrastructure (fences, borders), and security personal at the border
- We need an employment verification system to guarantee that all workers hired are in the country legally. This must be strictly enforced with penalties for those who don’t comply.
- For those currently in the country illegally, he proposed requiring them to register with the government and submit to a rigorous process of becoming a legal citizen, or face deportation.
- Reducing illegal immigration will make more room for legal family immigration.
- We must encourage the world’s “best and brightest individuals to come to the United States and create the new technologies and businesses that will employ countless American workers. But we must discourage businesses from using our immigration laws as a means to obtain temporary and less expensive foreign labor to replace capable American workers.”
- In summary: “We must create a system that converts the current flow of primarily low skill illegal immigrants into the United States into a more manageable and controlled flow of legal immigrants who can be absorbed by our economy.”
And just compare that list to Schumer’s rhetoric now.
And now he’s forced a government shutdown over it.

JUST GOES TO PROVE THE DEMOCRATS CARE MORE ABOUT ILLEGALS THAN AMERICAN CITIZENS! THE AWFUL TRUTH IS THAT THERE REALLY IS NO LONGER A DEMOCRAT PARTY AND THOSE THAT THINK THERE IS ARE BEING TOTALLY USED! IT IS NOW THE COMMUNIST/SOCIALIST PARTY AND IS BEING CONTROLLED COMPLETELY BY COMMUNIST LIKE SOROS, BLOOMBERG, CLINTON AND OBAMA (WORSE OF THE BUNCH)! WE, THE PEOPLE, ELECTED DONALD TRUMP BASED ON HIS PLATFORM. WE EXPECT HIM TO KEEP HIS PROMISES.
THE DEMOCRATS HAVE USED THE AFRICAN AMERICANS, WOMEN, AND THE MEXICANS TO PUSH THEIR AGENDA’S AND THEN COMPLETELY DESERTED THEM WHENEVER THEY WERE IN CONTROL. PRESIDENT TRUMP IS HELPING THEM AND ALL AMERICANS. IF THEY CANNOT SEE THIS, THEN THEY HAVE BEEN INDOCTRINATED BY LEFTIST TEACHERS OR ARE BEING PAID TO MAKE FOOLS OF THEMSELVES.
THEY DEFINITELY DO NOT WANT PRESIDENT TRUMP TO SUCCEED WHERE THEY FAILED FOR ALL AMERICANS TO SEE!
WAKE UP AMERICA!
Of COURSE he is! A TRAITOR to our Constitution and AMERICAN values! His strategy is; Unless he can pave the way (with super glue) for illegals to not only remain here illegally, but to VOTE illegally! If the Dem, Prof, Socialist, Secular, Marxist, Alinsky brain-washing, they would NEVER be elected again! America is realizing how really BLESSED we are to have President Trump in our White House! If the ‘Harridan from Hell” was there, not a SMIDGION of the depraved action of the LEFT would ever see the light of day! “Ain’t” (sic) God GOOD? Call him up and THANK him for deliverance! He’s love to hear from you!

Schumer, like so many democrats, will do anything to see the President fail. They despise him that much. This is not good for the country.
END DACA, END CHAIN MIGRATION, END THE LOTTERY, BUILD THE WALL, LIMIT IMMIGRATION AND ENFORCE OUR CURRENT IMMIGRATION LAWS.
Pelosi and him are doing to much pillow talk…..sleeping REAL BAD NOW!!! LOL!!!!
Schumer believed all these things when Odildo was president but now that Trump is POTUS, crooked Chuckie is a hypocrite & looks for EVERY way he can to blame Trump & make him look bad. Schumer doesn’t realize that Americans are fed up with him & Democrap’s!
