Cooper: Democrats’ border solution

An amendment to the Democrats' Homeland Security budget proposal contains an amendment introduced by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California, that essentially invites any illegal immigrant with a child to come into the U.S. without impunity.

The Democrats’ proposed Keep Families Together Act reminds us of their ubiquitous use of the term “health care” when they mean abortion.

Why do they do it?

Because “families,” in this case, refers to illegal immigrants. The bill would prohibit any immigration enforcement of any adult crossing the Southern border with a child.

Democrats originally introduced the bill last summer in response to President Trump’s insistence on immigration enforcement, which was legally separating families who had come across the border illegally. Photos and video of children separated from their parents then were used by Democrats and their national media partners to make viewers forget the illegal aspect of the situation and focus on the issue of families who were separated.

Now, they hope to use the bill in negotiations with the president on any proposal about money for a wall, barrier or funding that might strengthen border enforcement. That’s assuming they’re willing to negotiate in the first place.
