Speech #1130115918

In effect. the entire Senate Democratic Congress has surrendered the jobs. wages. and livelihoods of their constituents to a group of special interests meeting in secret at the White Housewhat Congress has refused to pass and the American people have rejected. They are plotting at the White Housemaybe even more so todayto move forward with Executive action anyway. no matter what the people think. no matter what Congress. the peoples House. votes on. Politico reports that "White House officials conducted more than 20 meetings in July and August with legal experts. immigration advocates and business leaders to gather ideas on what should be included in the order." Now that is a quote from Politico. Twenty meetings with legal experts. immigration advocates. and business leaders to gather ideas on what should be included in the Presidents order. So who are these socalled expert advocates and business leaders? They are not the law enforcement officers. they are not our ICE officers. they are not our Border Patrol officers. they are not the American working man and woman. they are not unemployed Americans. They werent in the room. You can be sure of that. Their opinions werent sought. No. White House officials are meeting with the worlds most powerful corporate immigration lobbyists and activists who think Border Patrol is for the little people. We know better. The administration is meeting with the elite. the cosmopolitan set who scorn and mock the concerns of everyday Americans who are concerned about their schools. jobs. wages. communities. and hospitals. These great and powerful citizens of the world. we know. dont care much about old fashioned things like national boundaries. national sovereignty. immigration control. let alone the constitutional separation of powers or even the consistent and evenhanded enforcement of plain law. passed by the elected representatives of the American people in due fashion. Well. dont you get it? They believe they are always supposed to get whatever it is they want. They are used to that. They spend hundreds of millions of dollars. In fact. one report says they have spent $1.5 billion since 2007 trying to pass their desired immigration bill$1.5 billion. They think whatever they want is good for America. They tried and tried and tried to pass the bill through Congress. but the American people said: No. no. no.
