Thread: (DACA) Alabama Senate Race Referendrum on 'New Trump'

by BREITBART NEWS19 Sep 2017


Breitbart News Senior Editor at Large Joel B. Pollak told MSNBC on Monday that the U.S. Senate runoff in Alabama had become a referendum on President Donald Trump’s new turn towards working with Democrats.

“I think the president is trying to sell the new agenda. You could call it the New Coke.”

Pollak added: “He’s working with Democrats on this DACA deal, and so what started out … as a fight between insurgents and establishment is now a referendum on Trump’s new approach.

And I think you’ll find that the grass roots, the Trump supporters, who are coming out for Roy Moore have a very different view from those in Washington who are pouring millions into the Luther Strange campaign.”

Former Ted Cruz spokesperson Rick Tyler had a similar analysis. “What’s going on in Alabama right now is conservative Republicans — which is largely all of Alabama’s voter base — they are tired of the establishment pick their candidates, and this is what has happened in this particular race. … This is the proxy fight in the Republican Party between the establishment and the insurgents. And Trump, for some reason, I would have to say, is on the wrong side.”

Asked why Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon seemed to be “going to war” with Trump, Pollak responded:

I would think that Steve, as he said, when he left the White House, wants to support the Trump agenda. You remember the whiteboard that he had in the West Wing of all the campaign promises that Trump had made? … I think Steve’s impression would be — and I can’t speak for him — certainly the impression at Breitbart and throughout the conservative grass roots is that ‘We’re helping Donald Trump’s agenda by defeating the establishment candidate.’ That’s what people would say to you, because Trump’s agenda is what people voted for him to enact. And the establishment in Washington, including the Republican establishment, doesn’t want him to do all of those things.

Moore currently leads Strange in the polls by eight percent, though the race is thought to be tightening.

According to Politico, establishment Republicans fear that a victory for Moore would inspire a wave of primary challenges to establishment-backed candidates.

Pollak summarized: “The Republican is likely to win in the final election in December. But it’s a question of what kind of Republican will that be? Will it be a Republican who supports the original Trump campaign agenda or one who supports the ‘New Coke’ — the one who supports Mitch McConnell and the direction Trump is taking with the Democrats?”

It is just such a shame we cant find any information, or get a response from the campaign of Judge Roy Moore (despite numerous requests) showing if Moore supports or opposes the Trump DACA Dem Amnesty plan or not!??!?

This article wants readers to think that Roy Moore is an opponent of DACA or Dreamer Amnesty but so far our ALIPAC activists have found no evidence of such a position.

For all we know, the once anti-Amnesty representation we received by the honerable Jeff Sessions could be about to be replaced by one of two Amnesty backers Moore or Strange!

Interesting. Is Breitbart not telling it like it really is this time? That would be a shame because it will hurt their credibility as a great news source.

This is the campaign manager (Rich Hobson) for Judge Roy Moore according to news. Someone may be able to get an answer about DACA if you have not already tried this route. I tried the tea party group but the phone did not answer.

Moore was unfamiliar with the terms DREAMers and DACA. Strange jumped on it in his ads, but Stange has been flip flopper on immigration. I think Trump is foolish to cut a deal with McConnell to campaign for Strange. Moore has gotten up to speed on the terminology...
DACA program for young immigrants becomes heated issue in Alabama U.S. Senate race

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. - - The Trump Administration’s move to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program means the program’s future will likely be decided by Congress. And it’s become an issue in Alabama’s U.S. Senate race.

Current U.S. Sen. Luther Strange’s campaign has attacked his GOP runoff opponent Roy Moore over remarks last week in an interview on the issue. Moore appeared unfamiliar with the DACA program during an interview with Huntsville-based talk radio host Dale Jackson.

The DACA program was established by President Obama in 2012 and gave people who were brought into the U.S. as children by undocumented parents the ability to apply for two-year visas to continue to go to school, work or serve in the military. The young people in that legal status have been nicknamed “Dreamers.”

Obama’s order – which the Department of Justice announced Tuesday was being rescinded – applied to young people who were 16 or younger when they brought to the U.S . and were under 31 on June 15, 2012 and met other criteria. About 800,000 people have applied for the visas and subsequent renewals, including an estimated 4,000 in Alabama.



Strange, who has been endorsed by President Trump in the U.S. Senate race, has hewed tightly to the administration’s positions. His campaign say he opposes DACA and agrees with President Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions on the need for an immigration policy based on the “rule of law.”

His campaign quickly put together an ad late last week after an interview Moore gave on the Dale Jackson Show on WVNN. The ad uses a portion of the interview, and the Strange campaign says it shows Moore is “indifferent at best,” or at worst, “completely confused” on the DACA issue.

Here’s an excerpt from the ad:

Dale Jackson: “You’re not aware of what Dreamers are?”
Roy Moore: “No.”
Dale Jackson: “Dreamers are … this is a big issue in the immigration debate, dreamers are …”
Roy Moore: “Why don’t you tell me what it is Dale? Quit beating around and tell me what it is.”


Moore’s campaign sent WHNT News 19 a statement Monday regarding the DACA program.

“I oppose the DACA program,” Moore said in the statement. “I support President Trump, as he works towards ending DACA and overhauling our failed immigration system. We must enforce our immigration laws, and send every potential immigrant through the same thorough vetting process.

“I support ending this program and oppose amnesty for illegal immigrants in any form."

“I support ending this program and oppose amnesty for illegal immigrants in any form."

Hopefully Moore's definition of amnesty isn't the same as Trump's.

From what I understand Luther Strange supports amnesty and came out against the RAISE Act. Anyone that is against the RAISE Act more than likely supports more immigration in the form of chain migration and guest worker programs.
