Lame Duck: House must pass immigration legislation now!

The GOP-led House of Representatives must pass critical legislation before the Democrats take over Congress in January. Obamacare repeal and the Merit Act must be proposed, but most importantly, the House must pass immigration legislation that will facilitate President Trump's ability to seal the border and build the wall.

If this is not done, GOP RINOs will work with Democrats to propose immigration "reform" that will include a massive amnesty, reflecting the desires of all Democrats to shore up their voting base with millions of imported voters and please the Chamber of Commerce and big business with the prospect of even more low-wage workers who will depress wages and steal American jobs.

Finally, if you think the caravans are bad now, legislation proposed by Democrats and their RINO allies would create a veritable tidal wave of caravans. If this happens, the GOP can kiss goodbye any chance of retaking the House in 2020. And do we have confidence the Senate would not support such legislation? If they did, GOP senators will be slaughtered in 2020 as well, and we may be looking at a President Harris, Booker, or possibly even Clinton.

That would be a disaster, to put it mildly. I don't think our nation would ever recover. Venezuela, here we come.

And forget about the caravans, which are really invasion forces of mostly young, defiant males. As it stands, illegal aliens flooding the border are apprehended at the rate of almost 12,000 per week! Those are the ones we caught. When Trump first took office, border apprehensions dropped to historically low levels. But with the unprecedented pushback from the hard left with lawsuits and accommodating activist judges, Central American migrants got the word that they could still get away with illegally entering the U.S.
