In a stunning display of hypocrisy that would make even the most cynical observer's jaw drop, Democratic leaders across the nation are now demanding exemptions from civil rights and labor laws to save their crashing sanctuary city economies. The reason? President Trump's enforcement of existing labor protections is exposing what conservatives have known all along - the left's "compassionate" immigration policies were nothing more than a cheap labor scam.
According to reports, numerous Democratic governors and mayors are panicking as Trump's administration requires them to actually follow national labor laws in their high-migration sanctuary jurisdictions. Apparently, when you can't exploit undocumented workers for poverty wages anymore, the whole progressive economic model falls apart faster than a house of cards.
The mask is finally off, Patriots. These are the same Democrats who spent years lecturing Americans about "human dignity" and "workers' rights" while simultaneously running economies built on the backs of exploited immigrants willing to work for pennies on the dollar.
"What we're seeing is the complete collapse of the left's moral authority on immigration," said one administration source. "They never cared about these people - they just wanted cheap labor to undercut American workers."
Think about the breathtaking audacity here: Democratic leaders are literally asking for permission to violate civil rights laws. The same party that claims to be the champion of workers' rights and human dignity is begging Trump to let them continue exploiting vulnerable populations.
This is exactly why Trump won. While Democrats built their political machines on virtue signaling and cheap labor schemes, President Trump has consistently fought for policies that protect all workers - American citizens and legal immigrants alike - from exploitation.
The economic house of cards is tumbling down, and sanctuary city leaders know it. Without access to exploitable labor, their high-tax, high-regulation policies are proving to be the job-killing disasters conservatives always said they were.
How long will it take for everyday Americans in these cities to realize their own leaders have been playing them for fools this entire time?
