"They're coming for the illegal alien patriots"

Not one DREAMer behind her

When a person is 77-years-old, shows lapses in memory and says crazy things, you might think twice before making them your real estate broker or manage your restaurant (if you have one to manage). 

Why then is Nancy Pelosi still a California congresswoman?

Because liberals will vote for anyone who feels the same way they do.

In yet another one of her confused press conferences, Pelosi compared young folks who fall into the "DREAMer" category to the Japanese who were interned by then-President Franklin Delano Roosevelt during World War II.

Roosevelt, of course, was a Democrat, and it was he who made the decision to intern U.S. citizens. DREAMers are not U.S. citizens and, from what one can tell, they aren't being interned by Trump.

"And they came for me, and now they're coming for the DREAMers," she babbled to a crowd of supporters for the proposed legislation to give legal status to illegal immigrants who were brought to the U.S. when they were children.

"It's a honor to be here with the DREAMers [aka future Democrats]," she said, "the DREAMers, who are perpetuating, advancing the American dream with their courage and their optimism and their inspiration, they make America more American."

Yes, the courage their parents had about sneaking into the U.S., hoping not to get caught and then being sent out and told to come here legally like others who wait for their turn.

The optimism the DREAMers have that they will not be told to return to the country of family origin, along with their family who brought them here, and obtain legal status like our Constitution demands and law abiding people respect.

The inspiration for others who want to come here illegally. "If they can do it, so can you," is the only inspiration that comes to mind when you realistically analyze the situation.

Pelosi described an art exhibit she recently attended called "And then they came for me," a title likely inspired by Lutheran Minister Martin Niemöller's (1892-1984) famous quote:

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out--  Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out--Because I was not a Trade Unionists. 

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out--        Because I was not a Jew. 

Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

"[I]t's about the internment of the Japanese-American patriots in our country who were interned into camps during World War II while their family members were fighting for America and for the world in World War II, they were in camps," she said, conveniently leaving out the party affiliation of FDR.

"And they came for me," she opined, "and now they're coming for the DREAMers."

She went on to say that "we owe these DREAMers for their patriotism, for their courage, their optimism to come forward."

But we don't.

In fact, one might say they lack patriotism because they lack respect for our laws. And it wasn't their courage and optimism that got them here in the first place--that credit goes to their parents who had the guts to break the law and the optimism to think they'd get away with it.

"But it's about America too," she continued. "The fight is for who we are as a country, too. They are the manifestation of that fight right now. But we cannot let them come for them."

Pelosi, as you can see, is trying to paint a picture of DREAMers being heroes, and pretends that it's their right to be here. And who we are as a country is that we are supposed to be a country of laws. 

And when the old Democrat says "But we cannot let them come for them," she is attempting to make the Trump administration look like villains when all they're doing is upholding the existing law, a law the Democrats could have changed when they were in power under Obama.

Trump has decided to end the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals (DACA) but will give Congress 6 months to pass legislation to make the next action a legal one. 

The proverbial ball is in Congress' court.

Pelosi, ever the toady, ended her emetic speech with, "So thank you DREAMers for being stronger than anybody, for being stronger than anybody and for actually taking some risks for your families to keep America a country we take pride in being. Thank you for your patriotism."

Stronger than anybody? Really, Nancy?

There is no easy solution to the DACA situation. Yes, DREAMers are here through the illegal acts of their parents and no fault of their own and shouldn't be punished for it. 

But is it fair to all of the immigrants who came here legally and waited or are still waiting for legal status? 

Of course not--but don't make DREAMers out to be heroes. They have become opportunists and Nancy Pelosi has become senile.
