For the past couple of months, Democrats have loudly declared protecting so-called DREAMers - children who entered this country illegally when younger than 18 - is their top priority.
So why hasn't the Democratic Party gotten it done? The answer is simple: they don't actually care about DREAMers.
The leaders of the Democratic Party know what they will have to concede in order to create legal favors for these DREAMers, and they are simply unwilling to do it.
Last week, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi held court with an eight-hour-long floor speech, during which she spoke out against a government spending bill that excluded accomodations for DREAMers.
In meetings, Pelosi reportedly urged members of her party to "Stick together" in their refusal to vote for the spending bill, which ultimately passed with the help of yes votes from 73 Democrats.
There are a lot of Americans whose top priorities are not to protect a group of illegal immigrants who are trapped in a sad situation being exploited by "Chuck and Nancy." The Democratic Party is also ignoring existing U.S. citizens who care about the economy, jobs, and their pensions.
Will the Democratic Party suffer at the ballot box come November for honing in on a relatively small group of illegal immigrants? Will American voters see through Pelosi's empty words and recognize the political game afoot? Or will the Democratic Party's message of "Vote for us because we definitely won't murder you" going to work once again? Only time will tell.
