Joe Kennedy III: ‘Cynical and Unamerican’ of the GOP To Say We Had to Choose Between CHIP and DREAMers

RUSH EXCERPT:
KENNEDY: "Joy, let’s be absolutely clear here. I think senator Mcconnell needs to take his own advice.. Republicans are in control of the presidency, the house and the Senate. More than that, the issue over DACA is coming up because President Trump decided to terminate the protections put in place by president obam. They can try to message this all they want. It’s just not true to try to say this is an issue being put forth by Democrats. This is I think a party that, as I tried to articulate on Tuesday, that wants to make sure we stand for everybody — believes they can contribute back to our country, that can be part of the American dream, particularly for folks brought here as kids through no fault of their own. Why we are trying to hold our government or other policy hostage to try to protect those kids, this shouldn’t even be a choice. The fact that Mr. McConnell was proud during the last shutdown to say it was a choice between providing health care to poor kids and pregnant mothers or dreamers, that is a a false choice that I wholly reject, particularly after you pass a $1.5 trillion tax cut that goes predominintly to the wealthy. It iscynical, un-American and they should know better."
