Matthews: ‘Democrats Don’t Want to Stop Illegal Immigration’

Dyed-in-the-wool liberal Chris Matthews who thinks the Republicans are BS’ing the country about deporting illegals a plan he says will never happen is also skeptical that Democrats really want to address the problem.

This what Matthews told his guests;

“Neither side has offered a compromise proposal which would actually become law, which would deal with the problem” … while “The Democrats on the other hand have been pretty much weak in stating exactly how they’re going to stop illegal immigration, I don’t hear them giving me a clarity as to how they are going to prevent the continued flow of illegal people coming into the country, I don’t even think they want to stop it, that’s my belief so far, they like it.”

Richard Wolffe an MSNBC political analyst then answered Matthews by spouting the numbers of deportations and employer raids conducted by the Obama administration and said that they wanted to look tough on enforcement because they thought it would buy them something with Republicans which it didn’t.

Except for the fact that Matthews finished by calling for the type of immigration reform championed by Chuck Schumer, Lindsey Graham, and even the late Ted Kennedy he almost sounded like some of his competitors on Fox News.
