Democrats promise and don't deliver.....

Washington is waiting to see when action on Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals again will be slipped into some must-pass piece of legislation, where it ultimately has little chance of prevailing on its own. This, despite the fact that Democrats’ amnesty “jujitsu” moves have many Americans, including DACA recipients, scratching their heads. The most recent bout of “chase your tail” that we’ve all watched since the election of President Trump is just a snapshot of years of amnesty promises made and broken by Democratic leaders, starting with the Obama campaign in 2008.

Remember, Obama promised to deliver amnesty in his first year in office, and despite having a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate (and a comfortable majority in the House), he never found the time to push a measure that seems to enjoy universal support from rank-and-file party members. The idea that President Obama didn’t have the time to pass a blanket amnesty for the nation’s 12 million illegal aliens in his first 24 months of office is absurd. Democrats should have been able to pass that bill in 10 minutes.
