Section 1325! Section 1325! For a few crucial minutes in the middle of the first Democratic presidential debate, Julián Castro (polling average: 0.8 percent) took over the proceedings by challenging his fellow candidates to endorse the repeal of Section 1325 of the Immigration and Naturalization Act.
What’s it about? Don’t ask.
He yelled at Beto O’Rourke about it and expressed his deep disappointment that O’Rourke wasn’t joining him in supporting the repeal of Section 1325.
O’Rourke is at 3.3 percent in the Real Clear Politics polling average, so you can see why Castro thought it was so important to nail him

At one point, the mostly silent Warren declared that we “must make this Congress reflect the will of the people” Which 'people'? Ours or everyone else's? Seems like you Commucrats prefer the latter.

ZeroHedge got the Yahtzee for their comment. You might want to swallow that last sip of coffee first before reading;
"At this rate, Putin won't even have to spend $100,000 on Facebook ads for Trump to win."

Title 8 Section 1325 of the Federal Criminal Code is a statute that make it a criminal misdemeanor, maximum 6 months in jail, for any alien to enter the USA unlawfully, generally via any point along the borderline between the official US Ports of Entry. That statute currently also can be used to impose a $250 to $500 Civil Fine in addition to the criminal penalty.
At a time that about 100,000 intending illegal aliens are illegally crossing the borderline each month to unlawfully gain entry to the USA, Castro is proposing to abolish the misdemeanor criminal penalties associated with aliens illegally crossing the borderline and to make that offense solely a Civil offense whereby illegal aliens who are paying the international criminal human smuggling cartels about $8000 to transport them through Mexico to the borderline will after illegally entering the USA and being arrested by the Border Patrol be subject to a whopping Civil fine of between $250 to $500, and then be released under the Democrat created Catch and Release policies as they pass through the insecure borderline on their way to the interior of the USA.
Clearly the leftist and liberal Democrats are all about using such “Open Border” policies to flood the USA with poor, uneducated, and socialist minded foreign peoples. So that in the short-term they can be counted in the 2020 Census to cause the reapportionment of more Congressional seats into immigrant and low income areas of the Democrat run big cities that can be easily won by Democrat socialist candidates; and in the long-term to be granted amnesty and US voting rights, in a politically based effort to permanently change US voter demographics in enough key States, to keep the Democrat socialists in permanent political power. Once explained to the American people such a covert political plan to transform the USA into a minority-majority country where a coalition of Democrat socialist oriented population groups based on identity based politics, such as race, ethnicity, and gender run the country, is not going to be a winner for the Democrats in a general election against President Trump.

The pjoto of the dead father and toddler was used to support open borders, so no one would drown? I have to believe the photo was posed for shock value.
When an adult and a toddler drown in tough currents, they don't float together. Each body is affected differently by the currents.
And the interviews with the wife seem to present manufactured knowledge by her. She wasn't there, could not have had the knowledge about details of the incident.
Call me cynical, but the posed photo brings to mind the PLO posed photos of 'dead' children, who get up, walk away from the location of their faked death, to pose again.
The democrats on stage last night were incoherent in their support for amnesty for illegals, or no border, or absolute belief in any illegal who claims violence was the reason for the illegal entry. Just let them in, seems to be the policy proposal...

No matter who outtalked whom, to name any one of these miscreants a "winner" would be stretching the truth. No wonder the Delaware Groper is still the front-runner.

Interesting that neither Hispanic candidate has caught on. One would think they would be the major recipient of the migrant vote that's coming up over the Mexican border. Hispanics are a major voting block for Democrats. If they aren't voting for Julian 'Fidel' Castro or Robert O'Rourke, who are they voting for? One would think the Democrat party has figure that out.
Its humorous to hear that Castro is attacking O'Rourke. He's attacking the wrong candidate.

Am I the only person who noticed what was missing? I watched for 20 minutes and never saw a single American flag on stage or anywhere on the set. I hope some conservative talking head or PDJT himself points this out.

#9--that's because they don't think of themselves as Americans. They're woke social justice warriors...and we're the ones they're either correcting (if we work for a living) or saving (if we don't or won't).

"Defeating Trump and removing him from the White House is the worst possible thing that could happen to the United States of America in 2020, so that's what I propose to do!"
Really, that's all any of them can run on. They know it, and we know it.

I (gulp) sat through the entire debate, just because I'm interested in what the Dims are up to. No surprises.
Just a few observations:
(1) Several Dims (I think Ryan and Delaney) observed that the Dims have become the Party of the "bi-coastal" elites and no longer represent the working class. Then, they proceeded to propose every elitist anti-middle class "policy" that they could fit into the limited amount of time: open borders for all, Medicare for all, unlimited abortion, take away lawfully acquired firearms, etc. etc.
(2) Delaney pointed out -- a huge moment, I thought -- that Medicare for all would bankrupt hospitals, because current Medicare reimbursements do not begin to cover actual healthcare costs provided. Bingo. IMHO, Medicare for all is Medicare for none (except, of course, for the "elites")
(3) Castro: abortion "right" for "transgenders." Huh?? Is there some unknown biological condition that we Americans are unaware of??
(4) Beto is an adolescent man-child who is totally out of his league.
(5) De Blasio is an unapologetic Commie who would make a good socialist dictator of a third world country.
(6) Apologize for my sexism here, but Gabbard is really hot . . . looking, that is, but that's about all. Oh, by the way, did you know that she's a Vet?
(7) Inslee is insane, and should seek psychiatric treatment immediately.

It really wasn't a debate. It was lifting the lid on that container of six-week-old dog food in the refrigerator- Made me want to gag. How can these people be that vacuous and odorous at the same time?

Every time I think of the Democratic candidates, I see them in munchkin costumes. Or Snow White's little people. Dopey would be Occasional Cortex, Happy has to be Bernie, who are the rest? My mind won't leave this alone. Anyone else having this problem? There is no 'Creepy' so I guess Biden is out.

I refuse to subject myself to watching any of the Dem Debates....ever. This is in part why I'm on Twitter. The poking fun at all of the Dem candidates has been hilariously enlightening today! Particularly with @carpedonktum, whom is a frequent RT of President Trump, himself.

Why don't any of these cheap seat sitter Socialists suggest that these Primaries should have each candidate equally funded by the #LyinRat Party....... in the Good Democrat Socialist Tradition...... so that Crazy Bernie and Touchy Feely Smelly OBite-Me don't have an unfair funding advantage...Then another couple of dozen midgets could get into the game... Even OCrazio CorPez could participate in that Gigantic Gong show...!...How FUN would THAT be?
