Dems plan to bring illegal immigrants to tonight's speech. ...Trump should bring immigration officers

Back in 2008, Barack Obama famously said: “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.” It was a mantra of escalation that would serve him well for the next eight years. His "achievements" may be collapsing or headed for repeal but, on balance, he got what he wanted by playing a smarter, meaner, and tougher game than his opponents. Last week we learned that Democrats intend to employ his strategies - en masse - for the entirety of President Trump's tenure.

As the New York Times reported, they've opted for "Total War" with the Trump administration. We'll see some of their efforts during Trump's speech tonight. A cadre of the President's enemies are planning a host of actions designed to troll the President before, during, and after his address. Rosie O’Donnell will be leading a march on the White House just prior to the telecast. Dems have invited Meryl Streep to attend (though it's not entirely clear how serious the invitation was, or if it was accepted) and at least six Democrat congressmen have announced that they will be bringing illegal immigrants to "educate the President" about the people impacted by his immigration policy. From The Hill:

More than half-dozen House and Senate Democrats so far are hosting immigrants who came to the U.S. as children and are temporarily shielded from deportation under an Obama-era program known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Trump has so far avoided eliminating the program, despite implementing policies that could overall result in significantly more deportations. Sen. Dick Durbin’s (D-Ill.) guest, an undocumented medical student named Aaima Sayed, immigrated from Pakistan when she was three years old. Rep. Ami Bera (D-Calif.) is bringing Alfredo Rivas, a 25-year-old student who came from El Salvador at the age of 13 and wants to be an immigration attorney.

“When people ask me where I'm from, I say 'California' but I have worried every day since the election that my family or I could get deported at any time,” Rivas said in a statement.

Interesting. She admits that her "entire family" could end up being deported, so it's not just her. She may be protected by DACA but is the rest of her family? Here's an idea in the spirit of Obama's "gun to a knife fight" edict: If Democrats are going to "troll Trump" by filling the gallery with illegals, Republicans should respond by filling their side with immigration agents. Find out who the Dems are bringing, and target them. If they're protected by DACA, that's fine, but let's get every shred of their background - not just the narrative the left is going to spread. How many other illegals are the Democrats' guests harboring and enabling? If these illegals want to be used by Democrats as an example, so be it. If they're going to poke their heads up and expose the immigration status of their non-DACA friends and families, then ICE will know right where to find them. Arrest them, process them, and deport them. When the media starts howling, explain yourself calmly, and tell them you're just following President Obama's example. Democrats want war? Give them war.
