Nancy Pelosi is just getting more looney and despicable as the Trump presidency continues. As you all know, she was already talking Trump impeachment when Trump had barely been in office a month.
Now she’s playing the race card against Trump over his most recent immigration proposal:
The Trump Administration’s anti-immigrant framework is an act of staggering cowardice which attempts to hold the #DREAMers hostage to an unmistakable campaign to make America white again. https://t.co/bhrbQd6YX2

Here’s her full statement:
Washington, D.C. — Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released this statement following the White House’s latest immigration framework:
“The Administration’s anti-immigrant framework is an act of staggering cowardice which attempts to hold the DREAMers hostage to a hateful anti-immigrant scheme.
“The 50 percent cut to legal immigration in the framework and the recent announcements to end Temporary Protected Status for Central Americans and Haitians are both part of the same cruel agenda. They are part of the Trump Administration’s unmistakable campaign to make America white again.
“It is often said that America is great because America is good. We are a great country that has been blessed and reinvigorated with the faith and family values of generations of immigrants. That is why so many faith leaders, even those who support the President, have recognized that immigration strengthens our families, our churches and our communities.
“The DREAMers will not be ransomed for a hateful agenda that betrays our sacred American values.”
Look I’m certainly not a fan of Trump’s latest immigration proposal – more specifically the amnesty portion of it. But playing the race card here is patently ridiculous. Suggesting that Trump just wants to make America white again is just another way of calling Trump a white supremacist, and to drump up her base against Trump.
Aside from Amnesty, Trump is simply doing his constitutional duty to try and fix the illegal immigration free-for-all problem that we’ve had for decades. Any reasonable person will surmise that.
And really, I guess it’s no wonder that the likes of Nancy Pelosi and other despicable Democrats, who really want open borders, are losing their minds over this, accusing Trump of such moral treachery. He’s threatening to kill their dream – or at least slow it down some.
