Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) - Clueless and confused on illegal immigration

[Townhall] Oh my God we had a doozy yesterday during a hearing on child separations on the Hill. The Senate Judiciary Committee asked officials from Immigration and Customs Enforcement about the policy and Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) seemed to know jack about our current immigration laws. I mean, basic stuff, like the fact that it’s a federal crime to enter the United States illegally.

Matthew Albence, the Executive Associate Director for Enforcement and Removal Operations for ICE, had to give Hirono illegal immigration 101 after the latter said she was "confused." Yes, you read that right; a lawmaker was confused that entering the country illegally is, you know, a crime. Hirono tried miserably to claim that arresting illegal aliens is a Trump policy. Nope. It’s been set in stone for decades, lady. It was appallingly stupid. It was embarrassing. And it shows just how far left the Democratic Party has gone on this issue: they don’t even know basic immigration law. For some on the Left apparently, history did not begin until Donald Trump was elected president (via NTK Network):

This is when Hirono said, "I’m confused." Right, and we’re going to give control of Congress to you brain-dead liberals. They’re called illegal immigrants for a reason. They’ve broken the law. This is what happens when you drink the political correctness Kool-Aid and adopt the senseless no one is illegal mindset, or call illegals undocumented persons, you sort of lose grip on reality, as demonstrated here. You come here illegally; it’s a crime. You get caught; you get arrested, and deported.

#1 ...Clearly, the good citizens of Hawaii don't care whether or not SEN Hirono has the brains the Good Lord gave a softball, as long as she has The Feelings(TM)

#2 This is not going to happen, but a guy can dream, right? Every newly elected lawmaker should be objectively tested on the laws they are responsible for upholding. On the basis of their exam score, said lawmakers and the district that elected them would be "weighted" with the lowest score having the least weight. Going forward, the lawmaker's vote in the body they serve on would be likewise weighted and in future elections the district's votes would likewise be weighted.

#5 re #2: Strictly speaking, the President (and the executive branch) is responsible for upholding the laws that Congress passes.

But I'm sure you knew that. I agree that congresscritters (and voters) should have to pass a basic civics test.

#6 Every newly elected lawmaker should be objectively tested on the laws they are responsible for upholding.

Make them take that test before their names are placed on the ballot and then put their test scores on the ballot.

#7 I think Hawaii should become an independent nation.

#9 I think we should sell it to China for 20 Trillion dollars. [It's a treaty, so it only needs the approval of the Senate]

#10 Given the Hawaiian people in the news lately, I'm starting to wonder if there is some sort of nutrient deficiency on the island.
