Now the communist Democrats want to use your tax payer dollars to pay off people who illegal came to this country and were separated from their families. I hope the Democrats run on this platform during the fall and in 2020. Based on these welfare stats, it looks like illegal aliens are already being compensated for coming here illegally.

This is the guy who just lost his primary to socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. A man who thinks border-crossers should get a check from Uncle Sam for the trauma of being separated from their children temporarily wasn’t far enough to the left to win a Democratic primary in NYC.
Drew McCoy and I spent a few minutes earlier debating whether there are any House Republicans who would support Crowley in a floor vote on this. I say no. Squishes abound in the caucus, sure, but the idea of compensating people for the circumstances of their detention after entering the country illegally feels too much like paying damages to someone whom you injured when you caught him sneaking around inside your house. It perverts the moral calculus of which party should rightly be seen as the victim. And it offends one’s intuitive sense of assumption of risk: If you break into someone’s home, you take your chances with how that ends up for you. Needless to say, right-wingers would go *berserk* if Republicans entertained a bill to compensate illegals. There may be House Republicans who’d *want* to vote for it but none would do so, purely out of fear of the base. That’s my bet.
