Pelosi: Trump’s Merit-Based Migration Is ‘Condescending

Thursday at her weekly news conference on Capitol Hill, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) called President Donald Trump’s immigration plan “condescending” to families.

Pelosi said, “We have to, I believe, come to comprehensive immigration reform. I think the president knows that. I know on the Republican side of the aisle, there is a recognition that we have to have comprehensive immigration reform.”

She continued, “But I want to just say something about the word they used, merit, it is really a condescending word. Are they saying family is without merit? Are they saying most of the people that come to the United States in the history of our country are without merit because they don’t have an engineering degree? We want to attract the best, and that includes many people from many parts of society.”

She added, “So we will see what values are reflected there. We have only heard titles like merit, which is non-merit. It means merit in the eyes of Donald Trump.”

Nolte: Debunking the Media’s Seven Latest Hysteria Hoaxes

8:01

With the Russia Collusion Hoax debunked forever, the corrupt establishment media are now in a mad scramble to manufacture a different kind of anxiety against President Trump, this time using multiple artificial hysterias.

Honestly, any rational person who lives in the real world — and I like to count myself among that group — must be baffled by the news media’s ongoing meltdown; the screech of one crisis after another, which reflects nothing close to reality.

For example: Yesterday, I paid 98 cents for a dozen eggs. My 401(k) is kicking butt. No one I know is struggling to find work, which was definitely not the case a few years ago. American servicemen are not coming home in body bags. There are no race riots, which also wasn’t the case a few years ago. There seems to be fewer domestic terror attacks. For the last two years global temperatures have dropped and this year, so far, has certainly been a cool one.

Unemployment has reached record lows. Wages are rising. Manufacturing jobs are coming back. Inflation is almost non-existent…

This, my friends, is what peace and prosperity look and feel like. This is it. Take it from a middle-aged guy who lived through Watergate, Vietnam, the Carter years, 9/11, Iraq, and Barry Obama’s managed decline — this is as good as America gets.

But with a Republican in office, most especially a Republican named Donald Trump, the media are desperate to distract us from this inconvenient good news, and so they are manufacturing a fabricated reality where Mississippi is still burning, white supremacism is on the march, the Chinese are about to Red Dawn our economy, everyone’s going to be shot at school, democracy itself teeters on the brink, and women are about to be forced back into the kitchen.
