WASHINGTON – We have heard a lot about the importance of the rule of law from Democrats lately. During special counsel Robert Muller’s investigation of President Trump, Democrats in Congress delivered a clear and unified message.
“No one is above the law, especially the president of the United States,” declared House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-California. “Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in our lifetime. No one is above the law. Not even the president,” said Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Massachusetts. “Everyone should be held accountable. And the president is not above the law,” said Sen. Kamala Harris, D-California.
No one, that is, except illegal immigrants.
Fast-forward to this past weekend, when the Trump administration announced that Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers would soon begin enforcement actions to remove illegal immigrants who have been issued final deportation orders by a federal judge. Those same Democrats and the rest of their party delivered a clear and unified message.
“It’s so appalling, it’s outside the circle of civilized human behavior,” said Pelosi. “The Trump administration’s cruelty runs bone-deep. A Warren administration will not rip families apart to try and score political points,” said Warren. “The aim is to scare immigrant communities. And so, he’s going to do these raids which is a crime against humanity,” said Harris.
