FLASHBACK: Where was LEFTY, Democrat Outrage when Bill Clinton Called for End of Illegal Immigration, Border Security and Deportations?

HEY , YOU’VE COME A LONG WAY BABY …

Over the weekend in the wake of President Donald Trump’s executive order on illegal immigration, the LEFT, Democrats, Hollywood and moonbats alike all lost their collective minds in horror and outrage at such actions.

But where were they when their own Democrat president Bill Clinton called for the very same things during his 1995 State of the Union address? What happened to the LEFT’s notion that we are a nation of immigrants, but we are also a nation of laws? So does the Democrat party no longer think we are not a nation of laws? Seriously, are we or are we not a nation of laws? Maybe that can explain exactly why Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election, the GOP controls both the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate, only 16 states of Democrat governors and Sate Houses are overwhelming Republican.

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.

Full 1995 State of the Union Address can be read HERE.

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 entering our country. The jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants. The public service they use impose burdens on our taxpayers. That’s 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.
