In a stunning admission that reveals the Left's dangerous priorities, Democrat Rep. Mike Quigley (D-IL) openly confessed on MSNBC that his party "held out" on funding the Department of Homeland Security specifically to sabotage ICE operations under President Trump.
Speaking on "Ana Cabrera Reports" Thursday, Quigley brazenly stated that "we held out" on funding all of DHS "because reforming ICE was extremely important to every American." Translation: Democrats are willing to jeopardize national security to protect illegal immigrants from deportation.
This shocking admission comes as the House took no action after the Senate sent its DHS funding bill back to the lower chamber, leaving thousands of DHS employees in limbo. But President Trump stepped up where Democrats failed, announcing he would sign an executive order to ensure all DHS employees get paid despite Democrat obstruction.
"Democrat Rep. Mike Quigley is mad President Trump is paying DHS employees while Democrats are holding their paychecks hostage. Democrats want to see you suffer,"
posted RNC Research on social media, perfectly capturing the Left's twisted priorities.
The irony is staggering: while Quigley also acknowledged that Iran poses a threat and is "very dangerous" to the homeland, his party is actively weakening the very agency responsible for protecting Americans from those threats. You can't make this stuff up, folks.
MSNBC Reports confirmed the timeline, noting that "President Trump posted this morning that he will sign an executive order to pay all DHS employees" after Democrats left them hanging.
Trump Leads While Democrats Obstruct
Once again, we're seeing the real Donald Trump - a president who puts American workers first while Democrats play political games with people's paychecks. While Quigley and his radical colleagues hold DHS funding hostage to protect illegal immigrants, President Trump ensures the heroes protecting our homeland can feed their families.
This is exactly why Americans voted for Trump's return to the White House. Patriots are sick of watching Democrats prioritize criminals over citizens, illegal aliens over Americans, and political theater over national security.
How long will voters tolerate Democrats who openly admit to sabotaging homeland security for their woke agenda?
