From Cocky to Cowardly – Democrats Supporting Amnesty Now Afraid To Speak

Posted on 15 August, 2014 by Rick Wells



The Democrats, who have perfected the art of ignoring constituents and turned shoving legislation down unwilling throats into an ugly art form, have grown curiously silent.
Earlier this year, before Obama’s man-made disaster on the Mexican border became an issue, they were using extortionist rhetoric and tactics in their attempts to manipulate Republicans into complying and caving in to their demands for illegal alien amnesty.
Chuck Schumer even went so far as to belittle Rep Steve King on the Senate floor, labeling him a Wizard of Oz who had taken over the House. Harry Reid infamously pronounced the border as secure in the final week, an obvious and blatantly untrue assertion.
Now things have gotten quieter. They recognize that for them, the unthinkable is happening. The American people are opening their eyes. That awakening is putting the sellout Democrats into a really tough spot. They never expected to be held accountable. They are still hoping things just blow over, but there is a problem, and it’s coming in the next few weeks.
They recognize that the American people are steadfastly against amnesty and enraged that their self—serving representatives have become anything but representative. They also sense that the blowback could result in a loss of leadership and defeats in the upcoming midterms.
If they speak out in opposition to amnesty, they will not only correctly be seen as cowardly and shallow political prostitutes, but they will also risk alienating a portion of their base which is aligned with their racist lawbreaking. They will be targeted for the inevitable White House retaliation for any perceived disloyalty to the Obama agenda.
Republican Senate candidates aren’t helping the Democrat efforts to join their illegal compadres by slinking into the shadows. They are effectively making illegal immigration a forefront of their campaigns in New Hampshire (Scott Brown), Arkansas (Tom Cotton), Michigan (Terry Lynn Land), Alaska (Joe Miller), and Louisiana (Rob Maness).
Elections have consequences and we Americans have many scars and empty wallets as evidence of the consequences of the last six years. It’s time for the Democrats to get a taste of their own medicine, to experience some unemployment of their own in the coming months.
While they are quietly in hiding for now, they will be exposed for what they are in September when Obama commits his next unconstitutional act.
Regardless of whether Democrats choose to speak or to not to speak, the American people can and must be very vocal in the appropriate manner; in the voting booth, this November.

Top Senate Democrats who once egged on President Barack Obama to go big on executive amnesty are now punting on the issue after numerous polls have shown that illegal immigration could cost Democrats control of the Senate.

Politico asked the offices of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and Michael Bennet (D-CO), the chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign, about Obama's potential executive amnesty for millions more illegal immigrants. They all either refused to answer or said the ball was in Obama's court.

Durbin and Schumer were in the "Gang of Eight" that pushed for a comprehensive amnesty bill, and Reid has been one of the most vocal proponents of executive action and comprehensive amnesty legislation.

But as Politico noted, Senate Democrats "want little ownership" of the issue, because they know it may cost them their leadership posts. But they do not want to criticize or publicly discourage Obama from enacting executive amnesty so as not to depress their pro-amnesty activist base.

Republican Senate candidates in New Hampshire (Scott Brown), Arkansas (Tom Cotton), Michigan (Terry Lynn Land), Alaska (Joe Miller), and Louisiana (Rob Maness) have made illegal immigration a big issue in their campaigns. Other Democrats like Sen. Kay Hagan (D-NC) are also vulnerable because of the issue.

Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) has started to distance herself from Obama on executive amnesty, and Sen. Mark Pryor (D-AK) has publicly said he was against it.

After new media outlets like Breitbart News changed public opinion on the illegal immigration issue, Republicans have been more willing to ignore their consultants and embrace the issue.

An Associated Press poll found that 68% of Americans disapprove of Obama's handling of illegal immigration, while 90% felt it was a serious concern. A recent Reuters poll found that 70% of Americans believe illegal immigration threatens “traditional U.S. beliefs and customs," and "63% believe illegal immigration burdens the U.S. economy."
