Schumer will deny 9 million kids medical care and 40 million food over illegal immigrants, but not for criminal justice reform that would return tens of thousands of non-violent primarily men of color drug abusers to their children. H ewill throw hundreds of thousands of government workers out of work and make our troops in uniform battle without pay, in order to -protect the visa lottery, but not to advance economic policies that would empower Black Americans.... let that sink in.
So tonight at midnight some 50 million American citizens get thrown under the bus as hostages to 800,000 or so illegal aliens the Dems have prioritized over them. This includes 40 million or so people who need SNAP benefits to eat. Also includes 9 million kids who rely on the CHIP program to see a doctor, during the peak of a flu season that is being particularly harsh on pediatric patients. Several million government workers and contractors who don't have a job at midnight, or who may have to work but wont get paid. Then of course our troops in uniform, some of them now even risk having to die in combat while not getting paid. The Dems would rather cause as much pain as possible to the citizen rather than secure the border. On the plus side, this will help the GOP in non-coastal house district races this fall. The Dems are showing front page that they do not care about the citizen, its only political power that matters to them.
It is not even really about the dreamers but about preserving the visa lottery and chain migration which the Dems see as a path forward to eternal electoral domination over Conservative America. They tipped their hand in the 2016 election when they crowed about how demographic changes insured Trump didn't have a chance. They were wrong then, but the demographic trends are real. Changes to immigration policy that prioritize skills and need over skin color threaten this play. Better to endanger millions than risk losing long term power seems to be the bet Schumer is making. I hope he and his coterie of anti-citizen senators pay for it in the fall.
