DEMOCRATS: Obstruction foils government function

| January 11, 2026 1:00 AM

The dictionary defines “obstructionism” as a “group who hinders progress or business, especially in a legislative body.” Does that sound familiar? It should, because we’ve seen the worst example of this with the Democrat party during both Trump presidential terms.

It does not matter how positive a Trump policy is for our legal citizens, the Democrats refuse to support it, doing everything in their power, (including lying to us at every opportunity) to cause it to fail. Instead of working across the aisle to advance favorable policies, as both parties did in the past, they want to cause our nation and the Trump administration to fail.

The Biden administration’s open border policy is the worst thing I have seen in my 86 years. Yes, I was fortunate enough to be born in the USA. Wouldn’t it be nice if another country opened their borders to let us empty all our prisons and send all illegal immigrants to them? That could save our taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars instead of costing us billions as it did to bring them in, transport, feed, house and also deport them.  

Responsibility for the tremendous cost of ICE and police finding and deporting illegals falls on Biden and the Democrat politicians, and instead of apologizing, they double down by inciting riots to obstruct this process.

At this point, we no longer have a two-party working system of government. The Democrats destroyed it. Everyone knows Democrat politicians want illegal migrants to stay and find a way to vote. Nothing short of an attempted power grab. Please vote in the midterms to not allow obstructionism to continue. Thank you.
