THE GREATEST THREAT AMERICA HAS EVER FACED IS THE DEMOCRAT PARTY! I can no longer remain in today’s Dem Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue and stoke anti-white racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms, are hostile to people of faith, demonize the police, and protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans, believe in open borders.

Warren: 'We Need to Continue to Have Border Security...'

(CNSNews.com) - "We need to continue to have border security," Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said at Tuesday’s CNN-hosted debate -- as if there is border security right now, with tens of thousands of people pouring into the U.S. every month, many on flimsy asylum grounds.
Warren never explained how she would achieve border security. Instead, she focused on her argument that illegal border crossings should not be a crime:
So the problem is that, right now, the criminalization statute is what gives Donald Trump the ability to take children away from their parents. It's what gives him the ability to lock up people at our borders.
We need to continue to have border security, and we can do that, but what we can't do is not live our values.
I've been down to the border. I have seen the mothers. I have seen the cages of babies. We must be a country that every day lives our values. And that means we cannot make it a crime...The point is not about criminalization. That has given Donald Trump the tool to break families apart.
A short time later, Warren called for expanded legal immigration, as well as "a path for citizenship, not just for Dreamers, but for grandmas and for people who have been working here in the farms, and for students who have overstayed their visas." (She was applauded)
"We need to fix the crisis at the border," Warren said. "And a big part of how we do that, is we do not play into Donald Trump's hands. He wants to stir up the crisis at the border because that's his overall message. It's -- if there's anything wrong in your life, blame them."
Montana Gov. Steve Bullock told Warren, "You are playing into Donald Trump's hands."
Bullock noted that Jeh Johnson, President Obama's Homeland Security Secretary, has warned that decriminalizing illegal border crossings and promising free health care for illegal immigrants and asylum-seekers will "cause further problems at the border."
"Laws matter," Warren responded. "And it matters if we say our law is that we will lock people up who come here seeking refuge, who come here seeking asylum, that is not a crime. And as Americans, what we need to do is have a sane system that keeps us safe at the border, but does not criminalize the activity of a mother fleeing here for safety."
Once again, Warren did not explain, nor was she pressed, on what she would do to keep us safe at the border.
Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) warned against incentivizing people to cross into the U.S. illegally:
"And right now, if you want to come into the country, you should at least ring the doorbell. We have asylum laws...And even if you decriminalize, which we should not do, you still have statutory authority. The president could still use his authority to separate families. So we've got to get rid of Donald Trump.
"But you don't decriminalize people just walking into the United States," Ryan continued. "If they're seeking asylum, of course, we want to welcome them. We're a strong enough country to be able to welcome them. And as far as the healthcare goes, undocumented people can buy healthcare too. I mean everyone else in America is paying for their healthcare. I think -- I don't think it's a stretch for us to ask undocumented people in the country to also pay for healthcare."
Sen. Amy Klobuchar said "there is the will" in Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform, which to Demcrats, means rewarding millions and millions of illegal aliens with a pathway to citizenship.
"I believe that immigrants don't diminish America; they are America. And if you want to do something about border security, you first of all change the rules so people can seek asylum in those Northern Triangle countries," Klobuchar said.
"Then, you pass the bill. And what the bill will do is, it will greatly reduce the deficit and give us some money for border security and for border processing the cases. And most of all, it will allow for a path to citizenship.
"Because this is not just about the border -- Donald Trump wants to use these people as political pawns, when we have people all over our country that simply want to work," Klobuchar said.'

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said she would decriminalize illegal border crossings, which are currently a criminal offense, if she were elected president in 2020.
CNN moderator Dana Bash asked her about the issue during the July 30 debate.
“Senator Warren, you say the provision making illegal border crossings a crime is totally unnecessary. Please respond,” Bash said.
“So the problem is that right now, the criminalization statute is what gives Donald Trump the ability to take children away from their parents,” Warren responded. “It’s what gives him the ability to lock up people at our borders. We need to continue to have border security and we can do that, but what we can’t do is not live our values. I’ve been down to the border. I have seen the mothers. I have seen the cages of babies. We must be a country that every day lives our values.”
Warren was interrupted by Bash, who said: “Just to clarify, would you decriminalize illegal border crossings?”

“Yes,” Warren said.
“The point is not about criminalization. That has given Donald Trump the tool to break families apart,” she claimed. “One way to fix it is to decriminalize. That’s the whole point.”
Only 27 percent of respondents to a Marist/NPR poll this month said that illegally crossing the border should be decriminalized. Forty-seven percent of Democrats, 68 percent of Independents, and 87 percent of Republicans thought it was a bad idea.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) also said he’d decriminalize border crossings if elected, saying he doesn’t consider women and children who walked thousands of miles as criminals.
Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio), former Rep. Robert “Beto” O’Rourke (D-Texas), and Montana Gov. Steve Bullock were among those saying they wouldn’t decriminalize border crossings.
“Right now if you want to come into the country you should at least ring the doorbell,” Ryan said.

O’Rourke said he will overhaul immigration policy enough that “I expect people who come here to follow our laws and we reserve the right to criminally prosecute them.”
Bullock said decriminalizing may “play into Donald Trump’s hands.”
Nine out of the 10 candidates said they’d decriminalize crossings at an MSNBC debate last month.
Former Vice President Joe Biden, Sens. Sanders, Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.)—who has since withdrawn from the race, former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, businessman Andrew Yang, author Marianne Williamson, and South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg all raised their hands to indicate they’d support the change.

Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) was the only one who didn’t raise his hand.
Swalwell has since dropped out of the race.
Buttigieg reversed his answer on Tuesday, saying: “When I am president, illegally crossing will still be illegal.”
“If fraud is involved, then that’s suitable for the criminal statute. If not, then that should be handled under civil law,” he added when a moderator noted that he raised his hand last month.
Candidates were also asked if their healthcare proposals would cover illegal immigrants. Sanders said his would, adding he considers healthcare a “human right.” Ryan hit back, saying that Americans pay for their healthcare and so should illegal immigrants.
Democrats Promise to Welcome Illegal Migrants ‘Like One of Our Own’
Democrats in the July 30 CNN Democrat debate promised to welcome foreign migrants, and none mentioned migrants’ economic damage to blue-collar Americans’ wages and rents.
“Immigrants don’t diminish America, they are America,” said Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, who told Fox News in February 2019 that “we need workers” because unemployment was too low for business groups. “We have people all over the country who simply want to work and obey the law,” she said about the nation’s population of illegal immigrants.
“We need to expand legal immigration,” said Sen. Liz Warren. “We need to create a path for citizenship, not just for ‘dreamers’ but for grandmas, and for people who have worked in the farms and students who have overstayed their visas.”
She reaffirmed her promise to end decriminalization of illegal migration:“We cannot make it a crime when someone comes here.”
Migrants are Americans and should not be criminalized, argued Montana Gov. Steve Bullock. “You don’t have to decriminalize everything [but] what you have to do is have a president in there with the judgment and decency to treat someone who comes to the border like one of our own,” he said.
“If [migrants] are seeking asylum, of course, we want to welcome them. We’re a strong enough country to be able to welcome them,” said Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan.
“Americans wants comprehensive immigration reform … [with] protections for ‘Dreamers,’ [and] making sure we have a pathway to citizenship for the undocumented,” claimed Pete Buttigieg, using the establishment’s code phrase for mass amnesty.
Buttigieg also reaffirmed his promise to decriminalize illegal migration, saying: “If fraud is involved, that is suitable for the criminal statute — if not, then it should be handled under civil law.”
His White House would stop “criminally prosecuting families and children for seeking asylum and refuge,” promised Beto O’Rourke. “Asylum” is a legal term, complete with legal tests and deportation rules, but the term “refuge” suggests O’Rourke is making an open-ended promise of welcome.
O’Rourke also promised to decriminalize illegal migration: “I expect people who come here to follow our laws, and we reserve the right to prosecute them if they do not.”
“If a mother and a child walk thousands of miles on a dangerous path,in my view, they are not criminals,” said Sen. Bernie Sanders. “They are people fleeing violence.”
Immigration Numbers:
Each year, roughly four million young Americans join the workforce after graduating from high school or university. This total includes roughly 800,000 Americans who graduate with skilled degrees in business or health care, engineering or science, software or statistics.
But the federal government then imports about 1.1 million legal immigrants and refreshes a resident population of roughly 1.5 million white-collar visa workers — including approximately one million H-1B workers and spouses — plus roughly 500,000 blue-collar visa workers.
The government also prints out more than one million work permits for foreigners, tolerates about eight million illegal workers, and does not punish companies for employing the hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants who sneak across the border or overstay their legal visas each year.
This policy of inflating the labor supply boosts economic growth for investors because it transfers wages to investors and ensures that employers do not have to compete for American workers by offering higher wages and better working conditions.
This policy of flooding the market with cheap, foreign, white-collar graduates and blue-collar labor also shifts enormous wealth from young employees towards older investors, even as it also widens wealth gaps, reduces high-tech investment, increases state and local tax burdens, and hurts children’s schools and college educations.
The cheap-labor economic strategy also pushes Americans away from high-tech careers and sidelines millions of marginalized Americans, including many who are now struggling with fentanyl addictions. The labor policy also moves business investment and wealth from the heartland to the coastal cities, explodes rents and housingcosts, shrivels real estate values in the Midwest, and rewards investors for creating low-tech, labor-intensive workplaces.
Democrat Sen. Schumer gives thumbs-up to detained illegals, urges all migrants be sent to Catholic Charities, then urges more border loopholes. Yet in NY, employers still are not raising wages to compete for US workers amid the flood of migrant labor. http://bit.ly/30NbwCE
