The truth matters — even when it’s inconvenient.
There are people posting obnoxious memes (most memes are) blaming Republicans and Donald Trump for “starving Americans” and “refusing to feed our own people.” Note...I am a Constitutional Conservative; I have problems with both parties.
Think about something for just one second. This government shutdown/showdown isn’t about helping Americans; it’s about politicians choosing illegal (operative word being "illegal") immigrants over U.S. citizens. Full stop.
The Republicans are no saints other, but in this instance I have to put most of the blame on the Democrats absolute hatred for Trump.
We are one of the wealthiest nations on the planet, yet somehow we’re expected to fund unlimited housing, healthcare, education, and benefits for millions of non-citizens before we take care of our own? That’s not compassion, that’s insanity. People who have entered our country illegally are not entitled to those things. Yes, they are entitled to be treated with the same respect as any other human being, but the only housing they should be entitled to is a detention facility while they await being sent back home. Come here legally...got no problem with that.
Democrats, as well as some Republicans, have voted MULTIPLE times to keep pushing the same failed continuing resolutions that prioritize illegal immigration spending while ignoring the spiraling costs on American families. Now, suddenly, they “care” about hungry citizens? No…what they care about is scoring anti-Trump political points. They care about headlines, not households. If they truly cared about the people they post about, they’d fix the border. They’d stop incentivizing illegally entering the country. They’d put AMERICANS first for once. Instead, they’d rather blame Republicans for refusing to fund their chaos.
Here’s the bottom line:
It is NOT the responsibility of the U.S. taxpayer to fund every nation in the world. It IS, however, the responsibility of our elected officials to take care of Americans FIRST. America First should not be controversial. End this idiotic shutdown now. Pay our military; take care of our veterans; feed the homeless. Maybe if we make the path to US citizenship less complex, we wouldn't have as many illegals entering this country. The system is broken; fix it.
Again, there's plenty of blame to go around. If the Republicans really cared as much as they say they do, they wouldn't always cave to the demands of the Democrat Party. Republicans need bigger cojones. Ironically, the toughest Republicans seem to be women. Maybe the men need to take a page from their books. Maybe it's time for both wings of the same bird to put aside their petty crap and remember their oath of office.
It's time for all these self-serving politicians to go...both sides of the aisle need a massive cleaning out. There should be no such thing as a career politician.
I know a lot of people who have been negatively affected by this shutdown. There are many people who absolutely need those SNAP benefits. It's no joke. Both parties need to pull their respective heads out of their respective butts and honor their oath of office for a change, and not their monumental egos.
