Yet again, the mask slips off Democrats. Andrew Cuomo, Governor of New York pardoned 22 illegal aliens on New Years Eve because they were at risk of being deported or blocked from citizenship. How pathetic. Yet, this is the Democrat party today. Illegal aliens, like these 22 pardoned by Cuomo are more highly valued by the Democrat party than actual Americans. Democrats desperately want to legalize these illegal aliens because they will vote Democrat/socialist. This is of course the same Andrew Cuomo who months ago said America was never great.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday took a swipe at President Trump’s immigration policies as he granted clemency to 29 people, including some immigrants who were facing deportation.
According to reports, Cuomo (D) issued pardons to 22 immigrants who, because mainly of drug-related convictions, could have been deported or blocked from citizenship.
He also commuted the sentences of seven other individuals, including four for murder and three for armed robbery.
In a statement, Cuomo’s office said Trump and the federal government are “waging a war on our border against immigrant communities.”
The governor also took a shot at the president for the ongoing partial government shutdown over border security funding.
“While President Trump shuts down the federal government over his obsession with keeping immigrants out, New York stands strong in our support for immigrant communities,” Cuomo said in the statement. “These actions will help keep immigrant families together and take a critical step toward a more just, more fair and more compassionate New York.”
