Regardless of the harm done to America and to illegals themselves, Democrats consider the power grab worth the “collateral damage.” If that weren’t bad enough, the Democrats’ open-border policies also aid and abet those who are trying to destroy America—from George Soros and “Davos Man” to China and the Mexican drug cartels."
