Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York called on Republicans Wednesday to join in passing a pathway to citizenship for “all undocumented” in the United States.
“So my message to Senate Republicans is this: Work with us,” Schumer said. “Work with us on this widely supported policy, so we can reach agreement that will protect families and strengthen our economy, just as we passed other bipartisan accomplishments, which they thought couldn’t be done. Guns, veterans, CHIPS.”
“We can get it done here. We can get it done here. If we can get ten Republicans to join us, we will get this done by the end of the year,” Schumer continued. “It’s a smart thing to do, it’s the right thing to do, it’s the moral thing to do, it’s the humane thing to do, and I want to assure everyone here we will not stop fighting till we get a fix for DACA, a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers and a pathway to citizenship for all undocumented.”
Speaking to the press outside the U.S. Capitol grounds, Schumer declared, “Now more than ever, we’re short of workers, we have a population that is not reproducing on its own with the same level that it used to.” Insisting that the solution is to welcome all who want to come to the United States.
His points seem blindly ignorant of his own backed causes. If Schumer is so worried about the declining birth rates in America, why does he still push to federally fund PlanParenthood and push for laws that support late-term abortions? Call me crazy but doesn’t that seem a little backward?
I think by making his case based on something we know he’s not invested in, like bringing up the population, it reveals that there is more behind the push to legalize undocumented immigrants. More voters, perhaps? That is until they’ve been here long enough to see through the lies and broken promises.
Watch
According to the latest numbers, there are more than 11 million ‘unauthorized’ migrants here in the US. The bulk of them are from Mexico, but following close behind are illegals from El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala. All violence-ridden countries.
