Rep. Martha McSally Wants to Build a Wall Between Arizona and California

[DesertRat]

Rep. Martha McSally is proposing building a border wall ... between Arizona and California.

The Tucson Republican, who's currently running for the U.S. Senate, joined President Donald Trump and other conservative politicians this morning for a roundtable at the White House on sanctuary cities. The consensus: They're bad. So bad that McSally joked about needing a border wall to protect Arizona from lawless, liberal California.

“As we look in Arizona, we often look into the dangers of the southern border,” McSally said, according to the Los Angeles Times . “But if these dangerous policies continue out of California, we might need to build a wall between California and Arizona as well.”

McSally also made a similar remark on Fox News last week, commenting, "Look, [California governor] Jerry Brown might want to start building a wall between California and Arizona because his policies are actually endangering the rest of the country. He can't just keep them there."

While this is clearly hyperbole, it's also racist. The assumption here is that California is somehow unsafe because sanctuary policies are preventing the authorities from coming in and sweeping up undocumented immigrants — despite the fact that there's no evidence to suggest that undocumented immigrants commit more crimes than anyone else.

1. Why did CA's undocumented immigrants suddenly become so dangerous?

They've been there for decades. WHO THE FUCK DOES SHE THINKS HARVESTS ALL THOSE FUCKING CROPS? Why is there such sudden concern that they'll all turn into murderous criminals?

Maybe we'll find out when she posts a self-congratulatory comment to her own post.

3. When the Bully knows, the ones they bully will not fight back, they Keep Bullying!!!

Republican do this stuff because they know, Democrats take the weakling path of sitting back, with a vain hope that it will all be alright if they just post a few slap stick comments, and they go right back to their slap stick comments, playing with twitter and anything that has no impact to convey information and full exposure of Republican Vile.
They keep kicking the Democrats butt, because we are passive in like someone in a Gun fight, bringing a Peace Lilly... and every time the Republican Stomp on it, and keep right on with their Attacks.

They call Democrats "Snowflakes" because when snowflakes cover the ground as soon as it heats up, it melts away. We keep being and doing the same thing over and over, and they keep Trampling Us and This Nation and Reshaping it Anyway they want. and we keep acting like "temporary snowflakes, melting away from the heat the Republican generate with their madness.

WHY?

4. Why Don't the State Controlled by Democratic Leadership Make Bold Moves?

California could easily say, they are going to pass a bill and make "community Colleges" function like they did before Ronald Reagan Defunded them, and they are going to Make State Universities Function like they did before Reagan Defunded them.

There are other things Democratic Leadership States can Propose and Push... such as 'Creating A Civic Corp

There are millions of Democratic styled ideas that can help people.. which the Democrats can push, every time the Republican come up with something crazy.... that harms people.

7. So, your biggest complaint about the Democrats is that we don't act like Republicans?

8. Absolutely Not..

If you NOTE, I said... 'We As Democrats and our Democratic Politicians, must be "forward in Proposing the things that Democrats aspire to which benefit the people and our environments of community and society as a whole.

How you derived something different from what was written, I don't know.

When Republican come with things we know are not good for the community, city, state, and nation, then we Propose, our counter programs that people can "see" that we as Democrats promote Bills that are good for the community, city, state, and nation.
We have to understand what we are working with and what we are working against, there are many people who know far less about Civic matters, and even less about governance programming. When we PROPOSE Bills, and invest our time to explain the benefits to the people, and make sure the people are given the information to let them see "how" a bill benefits not just them, but benefits into the future, for their off-springs, as well as for them as they age.

We are a party that Puts People First.... we have not just say it, but have programs and bills ready, especially in areas we know Republican will push some "crazy people defeating measures and bills".

Passivity and hoping the people make the right choice does not work well, and especially in Mid Terms, we have to give the people information to make an INFORMED choice, and we have to have programs they can understand and see the benefits, but we also NEED Democrat Politicians to Stand Up and Support Other Democrats.

9. It is sad that you have missed 40+ years of Democrats proposing programs to help people.

Favoring pointless rhetoric on things that will never get passed over substantial changes doesn't seem like the right way to go.
