Liberal Democrats win on illegal immigration
9:07 p.m. EST March 5, 2015
The liberal Democrats in Congress, led by Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, have triumphed. Their policy that the protection of illegal immigrants is more important than the protection of American citizens has been enacted by Congress, even though a majority of both houses originally voted against it.
The liberal Democrats have demonstrated that they are the most unyielding and rigidly ideological force in Congress. They were willing to let the Department of Homeland Security go without funding indefinitely until they could win permission for Obama’s illegal amnesty program. Their stand was very simple — absolutely no compromise, ever.
Astonishingly, it is only conservative Republicans who are being accused of holding firmly to their positions and refusing to compromise.
The lesson from this battle should be clear to all. If the Republican majority in Congress is to govern, it must refuse to yield to the obstructionist liberal minority. If the election victory of 2014 is to have any meaning, the Republican leadership must prove that it can out wait and outlast the Democratic leadership.
