That Time Clinton Got Tough on Illegal Immigration – Patriot Post

Political Editors Jan. 30, 2017

If Trump is a reprobate, what does that make former president Bill Clinton?

All Americans, not only in the states most heavily affected, but in every place in this country are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country. The jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants. The public services they use impose burdens on our taxpayers. Thats why our administration has moved aggressively to secure our borders more, by hiring a record number of new border guards, by deporting twice as many criminal aliens as ever before, by cracking down on illegal hiring, by barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens. In the budget I will present to you, we will try to do more to speed the deportation of illegal aliens who are arrested for crimes, to better identify illegal aliens in the workplace as recommended by the commission headed by former Congresswoman Barbara Jordan. We are a nation of immigrants. But we are also a nation of laws. It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years, and we must do more to stop it. Bill Clinton, 1995 State of the Union

Compare Bills remarks to Hillarys immigration platform. Contrary to the Lefts narrative that accuses todays Republicans of being hostile and unsympathetic, its liberals whose worldview is now unrealistic and, as Bill put it, ultimately self-defeating.

For the record, The Wall Street Journals Kimberley Strassel points out: Barack Obama put a pause for six months on refugees coming from Iraq back in 2011. I dont remember protestors and I dont remember lawsuits. Theres hypocrisy alright on the Left.
