2018 Midterm Election Issues
« on: October 09, 2018, 12:38:27 PM »
We know the Democrats in Congress have vowed to investigate and impeach Justice Kavanaugh if they take the House and/or Senate.  Most "woke" people understand this is nothing but a vengeance platform to get voters to hand the Democrats power.

Assuming this isn't voted on before election day, here's another issue that could energize both sides of the political spectrum:

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy Introducing Bill to Fully Fund Border Wall,
Making Midterm Immigration Referendum


Quote
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy will introduce a bill this week that will fully fund President Donald Trump’s
planned wall along the U.S. border with Mexico, thereby setting the midterm elections up as a referendum on
immigration policy, Breitbart News has learned exclusively.

Outgoing Speaker Paul Ryan hinted at a post-election border wall funding fight on Monday.

“We intend on having a full-fledged discussion on how to complete our mission to secure the border, and yes,
we will have a fight about this,” Ryan said of the wall fight that looms at a news conference on Monday.

Now Breitbart News can exclusively report exactly what is expected to happen in the lead-up to, and immediate
aftermath of, the midterm election. First, McCarthy, his office confirmed to Breitbart News, will introduce a bill this
week that includes the full funding for the border wall–about $23.4 billion more than what has already gone to the
wall effort–as well as several other enforcement measures that have already passed the House of Representatives.
Congress has already directed $1.6 billion to wall funding in the omnibus spending bill for fiscal year 2018 that
just passed Congress, and McCarthy’s new bill–titled the “Build the Wall, Enforce the Law Act”–would take the wall
the rest of the way, in addition to providing for a variety of enforcement measures.

“For decades, America’s inability to secure our borders and stop illegal immigration has encouraged millions to undertake
a dangerous journey to come here in violation of our laws and created a huge loophole to the legal channels to the
immigration process where America welcomes immigrants to our country,” McCarthy said in a statement to Breitbart News.
“President Trump’s election was a wakeup call to Washington. The American people want us to build the wall and enforce
the law. Maintaining strong borders is one of the basic responsibilities of any nation. For too long, America has failed in this
responsibility.”

The enforcement measures expected to be in this wall funding legislation include, among other legislation, Kate’s Law, an
enforcement bill named for Kate Steinle, who was killed in sanctuary city San Francisco in the lead-up to the 2016 presidential
election. Kate’s Law passed the House 257-167 last year. Also included will be a bill the House has already passed targeting
sanctuary cities, the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act, which passed the House last year 228-195. The Criminal Alien Gang
Member Removal Act, which passed the House last year 233-175, will be in the bill, as will two House resolutions on immigration
that passed the House this year: one upholding and honoring Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, the other
admonishing illegal alien voting in a number of American cities.

Hillary seems to have come out of hibernation just in time for the Midterms.  Some MSM types have speculated she may be working up toward a 2020 run at the Presidency again.

Her latest message is one of threats:  until the Democrats regain political power, the incivility being seen by Liberal left-wing mobs and politicians will get worse.

She went full Maxine.  You never go full Maxine.

Fake news is spinning the "hacking" of votes.  But no mention of illegal voters...

The Supreme Court just upheld North Dakota's Voter ID laws for the General election.

I didn't delve into the decision, but the wording tells me it's limited to Federal elections.

A few weeks ago there was a county that has long been held by a dem.  They implementing voters ID or something and all of a sudden, a republican won.
