Democrats are bending over backwards to make sure that everyone knows they care more about illegal immigrants than American citizens. They’re even planning a stunt at the state of the union address to prove it.
Politico reports:
Democrats will fill balcony with ‘Dreamers’ for State of the Union
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats will fill the balcony with so-called Dreamers and other immigrants during President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address next week as the party panned a White House attempt on Thursday to reach a deal on immigration reform.
The White House released a one-page framework for legislation that includes a path to citizenship for 1.8 million Dreamers — recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA — and other undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children. The proposal, the work of senior White House adviser Stephen Miller, was offered as a bipartisan compromise to give young undocumented immigrants a legal foothold in exchange for more than $25 billion in increased border security and a sharp reduction in future legal immigration.
While Miller described the plan as a dramatic concession for the White House, Democrats aren’t yet buying in and plan to make a statement at the State of the Union on Tuesday.
How do Democrats think this is a good strategy for them politically?
