Child Death Prods Democrats To Give Border Money That Trump Requested Two Years Ago

Two years ago President Trump asked the House Democrats to give him money needed to protect America from an invasion of illegals coming across our southern border, and Democrats refused to give him the money.

A year ago the president warned of an emergency at the southern border and again asked for money, and this time he identified foreign children being brought across the border as being at risk due to lack of facilities to house them safely. Democrats called the emergency a “fake emergency” and a “contrived emergency” and accused the president of lying about the situation, and they again refused to give any money that professionals at the border were requesting.

A few days ago we all saw a photo of a child who had drowned trying to cross the Rio Grande river. At that time Democrats jumped on the same bandwagon and claimed that President Trump had mismanaged the disaster on the border and that the death was his fault. But on June 27, 2019, reality finally struck the Democrats and they passed a 4.6 billion dollar package to add the facilities the president had been requesting since he took office.

It’s a shame that Democrats only stop playing politics with lives when a child’s death is the result. Nancy Pelosi breaks into tears about the “spark of divinity” that the murderous MS-13 gangs possess, and yet she allows a bad situation to exist at our southern border until an innocent child gets killed crossing illegally.

And the guilt of Democrats is multiplied when one considers that the liberal left has caused this disaster at the border to continue by advertising that the American border is open, that all invaders will be admitted, and that gangs of immigrants should head north and seek sanctuary here. Democrats refused to give the president the money he needs to protect Americans from dangerous people crossing the border, and they challenged his every move and action to stop the flow, using the liberal court system to block his attempts to keep American safe and to stop the flow of children coming to America, often with people who are no relation to the children.

The Democrat party is not only a threat to America and its citizens, they are also a threat to Mexicans and Central Americans who are coming here at the direct invitation of American leftists, and are often injured or killed as a result of taking their word. Democrats are liars and must be kept out of positions of power.
