In front of the nation:
It shouldn't have been a difficult decision.
During his Tuesday State of the Union address, President Donald Trump issued a challenge to the members of Congress before him.
"If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support," he said. "The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens."
Republicans stood and applauded. Democrats didn't budge from their seats. It was a striking contrast. Trump knew it, too.
"You should be ashamed of yourself, not standing up," he told Democrats.
Imagine telling someone a week ago that congressional Democrats wouldn't publicly agree with that statement. He or she would have laughed at you because it was so absurd. Even Democrats who prioritize illegal immigrants over Americans would have the political sense not to admit it openly. Right?
Wrong. This wasn't the only moment like this.
Trump introduced Anya Zarutska, the mother of Iryna Zarutska. Last fall, a man fatally stabbed the 23-year-old daughter. The video of her murder -- and the casual indifference of her fellow passengers -- is haunting. Finding out that the alleged killer had been arrested more than a dozen times previously was infuriating. The soft-on-crime policies of leftist prosecutors have deadly consequences. Trump chided Democrats for not standing to recognize Anya Zarutska.

It's out in the open now - They told us who they are. There's no more lying about this.
If you're a US citizen, to our elected Democrats, you are number two, at best.
