In their love for illegals, Democrats pitch the black community overboard
2018-02-02
[American Thinker] Democrats at President Trump's State of the Union address refused to honor the parents of two girls in New York who were hunted down and beaten to death by a pack of MS-13 gang members -- and the parents are angry about it. According to Fox News, some Democrats may have actually booed them.

In the Democrats' minds, it's all about staying on message. The killers were illegal immigrants and therefore were to be defended no matter what they did, because championing and encouraging illegal immigration is now the sole defining Democratic issue.

But this case is interesting because it pits them squarely against the black community, where the girls were from. It's a dilemma for them because there's no choosing here, the only right course of action is to support justice for the girls and comfort for the grieving parents. Trump got the tone just right in his SOTU speech honoring and comforting them.

And yet, incredibly, the Democrats, including even the congressional Black Caucus, sat stone-faced, glaring, maybe booing, and refused to honor them.

According to GatewayPundit, one of the parents, Robert Mickens, told radio host Laura Ingraham:

#8  A pepper prince of Castilla
Once married a Mexic Maria,
Who bore -- que sorpresa! --
So brown a princesa
She passed for a ripened pasilla.

#6  I don't know where Native Americans fit in.

Who do you think "Hispanic Illegals" are - Castilians?

#5  The 1986 immigration deal should have sent the message.

#4  g(r)omgoru, solid but incomplete hierarchy. My guess would be:

White < Asian < Female < Black < Gay
I don't know where Native Americans fit in.

#2  Who are the blacks going to vote for really? I'm sure that same strategy worked well with working class whites.
