What do Democrats want?

I think the Democrats, especially our governor, feels that these refugees and illegal immigrants are more important than the American citizens. Taxpayers should have a say in this matter, because the Democrats are taking the money from the working class and giving it to help these certain groups. Congress needs to investigate if Obama had the authority to create the DACA status. Remember that this is the same man who thought he had the right to grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants, but the court struck the order down.

Why are Democrats not helping millions of Americans get on their feet, too? How many jobs are the refugees and illegal immigrants taking from the American people? The governor’s job is to represent all the people in his or her state. The immigration system needs to be overhauled to make it fair for all citizens. It is time to find out the ultimate goal of Democrats.
