Columnist Ann Coulter goes off on the Republican weaklings in the U.S. Senate who ask for the votes of immigration patriots and now can’t wait to surrender to President Obama’s illegal executive actions on immigration:
Back when they needed our votes before the last election, Republicans were hairy-chested warriors, vowing to block Obama’s unconstitutional “executive amnesty” — if only voters gave them a Senate majority.
Throughout the 2014 election campaign, GOP candidates touted their anti-amnesty bonefides. Amnesty supporter Eric Cantor, one of the most powerful members of the House Leadership was whipped by a college professor in a primary almost exclusively over amnesty for illegals.
Senate candidate after senate candidate pleaded for the chance to take on Obama over illegal immigrant amnesty. When the votes were counted, voters had given the Republicans the majority they wanted:
Check! Mission accomplished! Done and done! Officially off our bucket list. OK, guys, your turn. When do you start standing up to the president? Hello? Hell-oooo?
Apparently, these “hairy-chested warriors” need some help with messaging:
Tell voters what the media won’t: that Obama’s “amnesty” will give illegal aliens Social Security cards and three years of back-payments through the Earned Income Tax Credit, even though they never paid taxes in the first place.
Could we get a poll on that: Should the government issue work permits to illegal aliens and give them each $25,000 in U.S. taxpayer money? I promise you, Obama would lose that vote by at least 80-20. Even people vaguely supportive of not hounding illegal aliens out of the country didn’t sign up to open the U.S. Treasury to them.
Tell voters that the media are refusing to report that, for the past two weeks, Senate Democrats have been filibustering a bill that would defund Obama’s illegal amnesty.
Whether or not the Democrats continue to filibuster the bill containing the amnesty defund, the government won’t shut down — contrary to hysterical claims by the media and George Will. The government is funded. Only the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will be “defunded.”
It’s a real shame the popular message about President Obama’s illegal amnesty schemes needs to come from a columnist and not from those supposedly fighting the political battles on Capitol Hill.
