about Mitch McConnel - senate majority leader

If you are a Trump supporter watching all of the hate-filled activity by the liberal left against Trump, you would probably say that the liberal left are the major obstacle blocking President Trump’s effort to clean up the immigration problem. For those of you that have not defined his plan, it is quite simple. First, stop the inflow of illegal aliens into the U.S. Second, get rid of the criminal and gang-related elements of the illegals currently in America. Third, handle the issue of DACA. Fourth, get rid of the idiotic current immigration laws such as chain immigration and immigration by lottery and install a system where the objective is to allow immigration which is more beneficial for Americans. Personally, I cannot understand how anyone can oppose either of the first two objectives. They both provide for a safer and more law-abiding environment which has to improve the quality of American life. I will discuss the real reason the liberal left leadership opposes them in a future article, but for now I will make the assertion that the most significant opposition blocking President Trump is from Senator Mitch McConnell. He is absolutely refusing to make the necessary senate rule changes that will allow a simple majority of senators to pass a bill. Instead, Mitch McConnell is adamantly defending the rules that demand that a bill must garner the votes of 60 senators for passage. This is idiotic and is intended to allow the obstruction of passage of any bill, and the number 60 is a contrived number. Why not say that a bill must be supported by 90 senators for passage, or 65 senators? Any number other than 51, a simple majority, is ludicrous. The question to ask is, “Why won’t Mitch McConnell permit the rules to be changed?”

In my opinion, there are only two possible answers to this question. The first is that Mitch thinks that it is necessary to keep rules in place for the express purpose of providing a vehicle where the minority can control which bills can pass. If this is the case, it points to the obvious conclusion that Mitch is oriented to ensuring that the senate will be ineffective and unable to function. Stated differently, his outlook is that of an obstructionist. Rather than ensuring that the senate is able to pass bills he prefers to see nothing be accomplished.

The second possible answer is more probable in my mind. It appears that Mitch is opposed to any action being taken to stop the inflow of illegal aliens, or any action to rid ourselves of criminal elements of the illegal aliens currently in our country. The reason that I think this is more probable is because of the “omnibus” bill that was just negotiated with Mitch being one of the four people responsible for writing the bill. The bill that Mitch helped write totally disregards the whole issue of illegal aliens. Paul Ryan also participated in creating this abortion of a bill and should probably be lumped with Mitch as opposing Trump. Both of them must be removed from their positions leading the senate and the house before the passage of meaningful legislation regarding immigration will be possible!
