Dori: Durkan wants to hug immigrant children, but not abandoned baby in Seattle

I have never hated politics more than I do now. I didn’t say that I hate politicians — I’m not going to say that I hate Jenny Durkan, because I’ve never met her. If I met her, I may like her. But I despise the soullessness of politics.

On her trip to the Texas-Mexico border, Jenny Durkan criticized the Trump administration for putting immigrant children in tents. Building tent cities in Seattle is a good thing, apparently. Doing it for the immigrant children in Texas — well, that’s a horrible thing.

She didn’t say a peep about the zero tolerance policy during the Obama administration. It didn’t bother her one bit. Nor did it bother any of these other stinking phonies who have been dominating the news cycle.

Durkan did a one-on-one interview with Q13’s Brandi Kruse saying that she just wants to give all of the children in these tent cities a hug, but all of the mayors who have gone down there on their liberal tour are prohibited from doing so.

Hey Jenny, do you want a child to hug without a fence holding you back? Do you just want to hold a child?

On May 30, Seattle police received a report of a 5-month-old child abandoned at a homeless encampment near Dearborn Street and Rainier Avenue. The baby was found shivering and was taken to Children’s Hospital.

I did a search to see if Jenny Durkan went to Children’s Hospital to go and hug that baby. She could have. There was no fence stopping her. Did she? There is no record that she did.

A child abandoned to shiver in a homeless encampment, in these hellholes that we have all around the streets of Seattle. Jenny, where were you when this baby was left in one of these encampments?

What’s going on at the Tex-Mex border is this manufactured delirium of the resistance movement. You never said one peep about the zero tolerance policy under the Obama administration. But now, this is part of your resistance. And I get that. I understand that there isn’t one ounce of genuine human compassion in any of this political theatre we’ve been watching the past few days. You want to make this the next Stormy Daniels sensationalized story. And if you put on a similar show about a baby shivering in a homeless camp on Dearborn, that would be kind of a damning indictment of your own party, wouldn’t it? It would show what a failure you and the city council are. It would make your leadership look bad.

It’s a joke. It’s detestable. And if Jenny Durkan cannot wrap her arms around a child not held back by a chain-link fence in the city she governs, then I don’t believe for a moment what she says about hugging the kids on the Tex-Mex border. She is spewing crap because this is a concerted effort to destroy a president she and the other Democrats hate. This is a visceral hatred that most in the media and these politicians have for the president. And so they will say demonstratively false nonsense.

Jenny Durkan also told Brandi Kruse that we need to focus on the people who actually pose the most dangerous threat to our community. Let’s look at that from a local perspective. Check out the Washington State Patrol’s Most Wanted list.  These are people who commit serious crimes like vehicular homicide and then go on the run. Because we are a de facto sanctuary state, the WSP does not provide citizenship or immigration status, so you have to request this information through a public records request. I engaged in a long search a few years ago when there were 26 people on the list. And after an extensive search on all 26, we found that 21 of them were here illegally.

Well, there are 33 people currently on the WSP Most Wanted list. And it would be reasonable to presume, based on my prior search, that at least 20 to 25 of them are here in our state illegally, committing crimes, including crimes in which people have died. We do have to get control of our border. If you have 10 million people flowing across an unsecured border — not, by the way, parents with children as the liberal fantasy would have you believe — how in the world are you going to ensure safety for the citizens you govern?

And then you have Governor Jay Inslee and Attorney General Bob Ferguson, who just announced that they’re going to file a lawsuit “imminently” against the Trump administration. They were going to file their lawsuit before Trump made his executive order ending the separation of children from adults, so now Ferguson doesn’t even know what he is going to be filing. Inslee wants to be president in 2020 and Ferguson wants to become governor after Inslee leaves. Don’t be fooled — that’s all these two individuals care about. Not children in tents.

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen as much hypocrisy as I have from politicians on this immigration issue.
