Asked to choose between protecting American citizens or protecting illegal aliens, those Democrats who didn’t boycott Tuesday’s State of the Union cast their votes for illegal aliens.
During his address to Congress, President Donald Trump called on attendees to go on the record regarding whose safety their prioritize:
"If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support: the first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens."
While Democrats sat silently in solidarity on their side of the isle, Republican lawmakers stood in unison and clapped in support of ensuring the safety of American citizens. Ultimately, chants of “U-S-A!” broke out.
“Isn’t that a shame? You should be ashamed of yourselves, not standing up,” Trump rebuked the Democrats, calling them out for the danger of their policies protecting criminal illegal aliens:
“You should be ashamed of yourselves.
“That is why I’m also asking you to end deadly sanctuary cities that protect the criminals and enact serious penalties for public officials would block the removal of criminal aliens – in many cases, drug lords, murderers all over our country. They’re blocking the removal of these people out of our country.”
“And you should be ashamed of yourselves,” the president reiterated.
More than 70 Democrats refused to attend Pres. Trump's State of the Union address.
