“The first duty of the American government is to protect its citizens, not illegal immigrants.” If you agree, stand up.
Some Democrats had stood, reluctantly, several times during the State of the Union speech. Some refused to stand for anything.
But it was this point in the speech. Every American in the House chambers should have been on their feet. He did not ask them to applaud. He did not ask them to cheer. He just asked them to stand.
There were many memorable moments in the two-hour State of the Union address. There were cheers and applause for the USA Hockey team.

One after another the President introduced military heroes and gave them awards. Two received the highest military honor possible, the Congressional Medal of Honor, right on the spot.
He recognized victims of crimes by illegal immigrants to emphasize why he slammed the border shut He explained that that is why he is now aggressively going after hardened criminals who entered our nation illegally.
It was during the speech that he made the simple request to stand. Democrats sat on their hands. It makes me wonder if the Democrats will stand for anything.
