Obama-era DHS secretary hits 2020 Dem candidates for 'extreme' and 'unworkable' immigration ideas

[DigitalDrifter]

Elect Dims, and we are sunk as a sovereign nation.



Jeh Johnson, who served as former President Barack Obama's Homeland Security secretary, called out Democratic presidential candidates for embracing "extreme" policies on immigration, like rejecting the deportation of those here illegally and decriminalizing illegal border crossings.

"We cannot, as some Democratic candidates for president now propose, publicly embrace a policy not to deport those who enter or remain in this country illegally unless they commit a crime. This is tantamount to a public declaration (repeated and amplified by smugglers in Central America) that our borders are effectively open to all; this will increase the recent levels of monthly apprehensions at our southern border -- about or more than 100,000 -- by multiples," Johnson wrote in a Washington Post column.

I don't know what's gotten into him, but former Obama helper Jeh Johnson seems to be caught with a sudden case of extreme honesty. Democrats are fighting to keep our borders open and the flow of illegals and asylum seekers (who turn into illegals once they enter the country) coming full blast.

The left see their chance to take control of the country, something I was personally told would happen by a "labor organizer" at a state union meeting in Sacramento, California over twenty years ago, by flooding the country with
the "right" sort of voters. Like all leftist schemes they are taking a long term approach.

Voter fraud and voting security will be extremely important issues to watch in the upcoming election. Johnson
is speaking from a partisan position but what he says is true. The new democrat candidates are

I do hope you are willing to take the lesser jobs when Tramp deports all of our illegal immigrants. Yet he doesn't fine the companies, like the Tramp Org maga bucks that hire them.

There were approximately 11.3 million unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. in 2016, roughly unchanged from the prior year but well below the 12.2 million peak in 2007. There were an estimated 8 million unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. civilian workforce in 2016, roughly 5%.[8] The Congressional Budget Office reported in 2007 that "the tax revenues that unauthorized immigrants generate for state and local governments do not offset the total cost of services provided to them" but "in aggregate and over the long term, tax revenues of all types generated by immigrants—both legal and unauthorized—exceed the cost of the services they use."[9] Unauthorized immigrants demand goods and services[10] while an estimated 50 to 75 percent pay taxes.[9] Due to cheaper labor, they contribute to lower prices in the industries where they work, such as agriculture, restaurants, and construction.[10]

You mean Obama appointed someone that wasn't a traitorous commie?

• "The tax revenues that unauthorized immigrants generate for state and local governments do not offset the total cost of services provided to those immigrants"; and
• "Federal aid programs offer resources to state and local governments that provide services to unauthorized immigrants, but those funds do not fully cover the costs incurred by those governments."

Nothing justifies the leftist desire to bring more and more illegals into this nation except the value they bring to the democrat party as illegal voters. The economic arguments are bunk.

You ignore one law, illegal immigration, you are likely to ignore others as well, voting illegally. That's why the left
wants more and more in this country. Look at voting maps of Texas to see how the demographics there are changing the state.

You know that this is a very serious situation when Obama's men are turning on him!
