There are more than you think.
Rep. Adriano Espaillat’s claim to fame (apart from spending nearly 30 years in politics) was being the first former illegal alien or as his press releases state, the “only formerly undocumented immigrant to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives”.
While being an illegal alien seems like a strange thing for an elected official to brag about, in the current political atmosphere where illegal aliens occupy a rarified space in Democratic Party politics somewhere between They/Thems and Hamas terrorists, being an illegal is an asset.
Espaillat’s badge of honor or dishonor ended when Rep. Robert Garcia, the former mayor of Long Beach, became the first gay former illegal alien in Congress, and being a gay former illegal alien comes with more identity politics points than just being a former illegal alien.
Rep. Adriano Espaillat (pictured above) had more problems than that because his claim to illegal alien fame was debatable even before Garcia. 2016 was a big year for former illegal aliens running for Congress. In that same election cycle as Espaillat, there was also Rep. Ruben Kihuen who claimed to be “the first formerly undocumented immigrant elected to the U.S. Congress”.
Who was the real first former illegal alien in Congress? To answer the question, you would probably have to check the order in which Espaillat and Kihuen’s elections were called or the order in which they were sworn in. The race to be the first illegal in the House may not have gone to the fastest man, but the man with the least fast hands because while Espaillat remained in office, Kihuen was accused of propositioning and groping his finance director.
And then another woman. Who would have thought an illegal alien would act that way?
Rep. Nancy Pelosi ordered Rep. Kihuen to quit because while there’s room for illegal aliens in Congress, there’s no room for gropers or sexual harassers unless they’re the 42nd or 46th president of the United States. The first or second illegal alien alleged groper in Congress then transitioned to the Fundacion Casa de Los Migrantes, got a radio show and denounced ICE.
Rep. Espaillat, the second or first illegal alien, has been pulling his own open borders publicity stunts, demanding access to ICE facilities, and has introduced anti-ICE legislation which is at least more understandable for him than it is for much of the Democratic Party.
Even with Rep. Kihuen gone, Rep. Garcia came in to make sure that Congress has a quorum of at least two illegal aliens and three former illegal aliens. And the rate they’re going, there will eventually be enough to form a caucus. For now both former illegal aliens are part of the House New Americans Caucus alongside Rep. Ilhan Omar, who has been accused of immigration fraud, but at least doesn’t proudly announce it in her press releases.
Then there are also the illegal alien congressional staffers and campaign people.
An illegal alien who worked as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Deputy Communication Director made headlines this year when he announced that he was self-deporting. If others follow suit, AOC might actually have to start hiring Americans. --->READ MORE HERE
