Democrats are having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad century.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported on the latest group to support President Trump's call to wall off Mexico.
Illegal aliens.
“If building a wall leads us to having citizenship, then I’m all for it. The U.S. is what I know and that’s where I want to live my life — I want to be a part of it in full,” said Ana Rodriguez, 26, of Union City, California.
Her Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals visa expires in October.
If walling off Mexico gets her an extension, she is all for it....
And of course, the Democrats who want to be her overlords are alarmed. They should be. If Trump gives people like Rodriguez a path to citizenship, who will they credit this to? Republicans or Democrats?...
Montes told Hamed Aleaziz: “I think it’s a culmination of an entire life experience. These are kids who have tried to do the best they could to prove they are part of this country. This past year has tested them.”
Now some illegal aliens are willing to exchange the wall for citizenship.
“It’s coming from a point of exhaustion — they’ve tried everything,” Montes said....
Yep. Constant worry about deportation is a pressure cooker.
But citizenship for illegal aliens was way down on the Democratic Party's honey-do list when they controlled Congress and the White House in 2009 and 2010.
Illegal aliens noticed that.
Rodriguez said, “I’m sure a lot of us will say go ahead and build the wall if that’s what’s gonna let us continue living our lives.”...
So some illegal aliens are willing to go to the wall to save their visas. And some of us are cool with deporting 90% of illegal aliens instead of 100% if it means we get a wall and curtailment on legal immigration.
We also know that the 12-year wait for citizenship means gang-bangers and the like won't make it, and will be sent back to Mexico. Only the finest who integrate into our society will earn citizenship.
President Trump has forced the hand of Democrats to get a deal done -- and the deal will be on his terms, not theirs.
And the most sympathetic group of illegal aliens -- the DACA -- are beginning to side with him.
If Trump pulls this off, Democrats may become an endangered species.
