OMG: Democrat lawmakers are so stupid they don’t even know illegal immigration is ILLEGAL

One of the biggest impediments to rational debate and reasoned disagreement in America today is the Left’s refusal to acknowledge some basic truths – about our country, our culture, our language, our physiology, our history, and our laws. 

In a piece for National Review titled, “America’s Next Civil War Will Be Worse Than Our Last,” historian H.W. Crocker III wrote that despite fundamental disagreements over slavery and the presumed right of secession, North and South during the first Civil War was truly fought by Americans who shared many similarities:

North and South venerated the Founders.  They shared the same language, the same religion, and, in large part, the same general stock.  Most of all, they shared what Jeff Sessions was recently rebuked for calling an “Anglo-American heritage” of liberty under law, stretching from the mists of medieval England — even before Magna Carta — to our own Bill of Rights. 

Writing further, Crocker observed that divisions between Left and Right are so profound that “Americans cannot even agree on what marriage is or what a man or a woman is which is pretty darn fundamental.” 

This was all demonstrated recently during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on family detention centers for illegal aliens managed by the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.  As The Gateway Pundit reported, Democrats have been upset in recent weeks by the Trump administration’s deterrent practice – now halted – of separating adults and their minor children when they were caught sneaking into the country. 

Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, “played the fool” at the hearing, TGP’s Jim Hoft wrote.  She appeared to not understand why illegal immigrants are illegal in the first place and seemed to think that POTUS Donald Trump is personally responsible for declaring illegal border jumping to be…illegal. 

During questioning, ICE Executive Associate Director Matthew Albence was forced to explain to her why illegal aliens are deemed so.  He noted that they were being kept in detention centers “because they broke the law.” 

“They broke a law only deemed so by the president with his…” she began to say before Albence interrupted with some truth bombs. 

Can’t we even agree on illegal aliens? 

Frankly, as a sitting senator involved in a serious matter, she should have come to the hearing far more prepared.  That she didn’t is a disgrace, but on her, not on our system. 

“Well, these are mainly… My understanding is that under zero tolerance [the Trump administration’s position that all illegal crossings should be prosecuted] these are no longer civil proceedings but in fact criminal proceedings,” Hirono said. 

“Witness at ICE hearing patiently explains to Sen. Mazie Hirono that illegal aliens are illegal because of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Act, not Trump.  Sen. Hirono: “I’m confused.”  No kidding,” she wrote.

Hirono’s refusal to acknowledge that illegal immigrants have broken our laws goes a long way toward explaining why, thanks to Democrats and their supporters, the country cannot even come together to define a common security objective and then collectively defend it. 

All of which makes division – and civil conflict – even more likely.
