President Trump warned Tuesday night that voting for Democrats in 2018 is a vote for opening America's borders and shutting down Americans' Second Amendment rights.
"Nowhere in the Democrats' extremism, and nowhere can you see anything displayed more clearly, than on immigration," Trump said at a National Republican Congressional Committee meeting at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C. "A vote for Democrats is truly a vote for open borders, people pouring into our country, we have no idea who they are. They’re coming in, open borders. You look at sanctuary cities where criminals are protected."
"If House Democrats control the committee and control the floor, they will block every single effort to secure our borders and to defend our communities," he continued. "Nearly every house Democrat voted in favor of sanctuary cities. They voted to release criminal aliens to prey on innocent American lives. Republicans believe our cities should be safe havens and law-abiding Americans, not for criminal aliens or illegal immigrants.
Trump outlined what his message will be going into the midterm elections: "Here is our message for the coming election for the American people. If the Democrats ever got back into power, they would vote to raise your taxes, release dangerous criminals, open your borders, shut down this great surge of American energy that is tremendous for jobs, tremendous for the economic wealthy of our country and frankly, helping the world, they would take over American health care, take away your Second Amendment, and chip away your jobs to foreign countries like has gone on for so many years and those days are over. Those days are over.” [Video above]
The president said Democrats will campaign as moderates but that they always govern as "radicals."
“It doesn’t matter what Democratic candidates say on the campaign trail because once Democrats get to Washington, they always do the same thing, they vote for the liberal Pelosi agenda down the line, straight down the line every single time," Trump said. "They will never vote for us, they will never vote for what’s right."
"These days, there’s no such thing as a blue dog Democrat," he continued. "Democrats like to campaign as moderates, but they always govern like radicals. That is why I am going to campaign all across this country to elect Republicans so we can reduce taxes and further reduce crime, increase jobs, and make our communities safe and prosperous and secure. I’ll be all over the country. You’ll get me all over. You’re going to get me all over the country and I’ll be complaining every single trip, but I’m going to get there. We’re going to keep criminals off our streets and we’re going to keep terrorists the hill out of our country.” [Video above]
