Dori: Democrat politicians’ hypocrisy on illegal immigration

I just got the stats, and I can’t believe how heartless Jay Inslee is. On an average day here in Washington, we have more than 17,000 people in prison. And do you want to know the unseen, unheard evil of this? Every one of those people who has children, has been separated from their children.

Can you believe that? Why can’t the children just go into the big house with Mommy or Daddy? That means there are 20,000 children — based on the number of kids each inmate has — who have been separated from their parents in this state. Just because Mom or Dad did something illegal? We’re going to separate families? How can Inslee be so cruel?

Gee — I guess it’s kind of like what the administration is doing on our southern border. So when people try to illegally enter our southern border without trying to get asylum, they are also separated from their children.

If you decry what’s going on on the southern border, I expect consistency from you — that you will also decry every person put in a Washington prison who is separated from their children.

I don’t remember a story where people got as brainwashed en masse as this immigration story. I happen to believe that we should respect our borders, and believe that other countries should respect our borders as well.

Jay Inslee and Dow Constantine have been trying to score political points off this. It is interesting how easily people get played in this country. Three weeks ago, I don’t think anyone thought twice about this issue. But then it became another rallying point for the resistance. This is about a media complex that is working feverishly to demonize the president any way they can simply for enforcing the laws.

If you don’t want to be separated from your family, don’t cross the border illegally. Go to a legal port of entry, claim asylum, and you’ll stay with your kids the whole time. If you claim asylum, you are not separated from your kids. It is only the people who enter the country illegally. But this is about ripping off the system and ignoring that we have borders.

The problem is that there is a pipeline that knows how to work the system. The way it used to be under the Obama administration was that, if you had a kid with you, and you broke across the border, you got turned free in this country. The huge problem with that is the child smugglers. Smugglers would work with these adults to bring in children — not the people’s biological children — to be trafficked.

The Washington Post, not exactly an anti-Obama newspaper, reported two years ago that the human traffickers were using this catch-and-release system to get children into this country without their biological parents. Kids would have to work 12 hours, six or seven days a week, doing things like de-beaking chickens. They lived in tight, squalid conditions on these farms. And they were essentially slave laborers — according to the Post, one child asked when he would get a paycheck and was slapped in the face. This is what was going on under Obama.

I think our borders are worth defending. I know that defending our borders is an essential part of our nation remaining a nation. I’ve seen in the train stations of Italy and Germany in the last couple of years what happens when you let unfettered migration into your country. It is a humanitarian crisis. People who want to come into this country should wait their turn with the other people at the legal port of entry.

I’ll leave you with one final thought. What about the separation of families that has occurred for the thousands of people who have lost loved ones because of illegal immigrants who commit crimes in this country? What about the girl in San Francisco who was shot by an illegal immigrant? We talked recently about the 13-year-old girl who fought off a kidnapping by a twice-deported illegal immigrant in Auburn.

I’m getting texts and emails from people telling me that they have listened for years, but that I’ve gone too far with this immigration issue and they’re never going to listen to me again. Well, I guess I’ll just have to live with that. I’ll be done with this show before I start taking phony positions because I think it’s what people want to hear.
