Some Democrats Choose to Uphold Their Oaths to the Constitution

There are cracks showing in the formerly solid blue wall. Maybe even fissures. And Old Hakeem may be losing control of his caucus.

 

A pair of bills cracking down on sanctuary cities passed the House of Representatives this week, with the support of multiple Democrats.

On Thursday, the House passed a bill to withdraw Small Business Administration (SBA) services from jurisdictions that shelter illegal immigrants.

The legislation passed the House in a 211 to 199 vote, with five Democrats joining the GOP: Representatives Henry Cuellar of Texas, Laura Gillen of New York, Don Davis of North Carolina, Jared Golden of Maine and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington. All in defiance of Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries dictating that ALL Democrats should vote against the measure.

Then, to add additional insult to the Democrat Leader, the second bill, which passed on Friday morning, would add explicit language banning people in the US illegally from obtaining SBA loans.

Eight Democrats voted for that legislation: Perez, Cuellar, Gillen and Davis all voted for the bill, along with Representatives Tom Suozzi of New York, Josh Harder of California, Marcy Kaptur of Ohio and Kristen McDonald Rivet of Michigan.

A lot of defections by some conscientious, reasonable, patriotic, Democrat Party, Americans have decided to defy their party and support the Constitution even in a basic piece of legislation involving the Small Business Administration. It is about time that the Constitution matters more.

Perhaps, we will see additional defections as it relates to the Democrat “principle” of protecting Unconstitutional sanctuary cities in the United States.
