Democrats exist in the ’20’ portion of 80/20 issues, and one of them proved as much again on Tuesday during President Trump’s State of the Union Address. And it sure seems like he broke the law in the process.
According to reports, Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) brought an illegal immigrant as his guest, and then Moulton’s staff reportedly hid the illegal in his office to protect him from authorities and Homeland Security:
? WTF?! Democrat Rep. Seth Moulton SMUGGLED IN an illegal alien to Trump's State of the Union address, then had his Chief of Staff HARBOR the illegal in Moulton's office to SHIELD him from police
Harboring an illegal is a FEDERAL FELONY

According to The Boston Globe, Marcelo Gomes da Silva, a teenager from Milford, was taken into custody by ICE last May. Gomes da Silva reportedly left the State of the Union after being identified by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Wearing a light gray suit, Gomes looked worlds apart from the day he met Moulton for the first time last June, outside of the ICE holding facility in Burlington where he had spent six days detained in volleyball shorts and crocs.
This week, in Washington for the first time, he met with other members of Congress and talked about his experience in detention and his desire to end ICE operations that target people who, like him, don’t have a criminal record.
As he watched the speech, the teen looked for Moulton on the House floor but couldn’t find him among the sea of politicians; he was impressed by Representative Al Green’s protest of a racist video posted on Trump’s social media account recently portraying the Obamas as apes; he didn’t agree with Trump’s statement about low inflation; and he felt dehumanized by being called an “illegal alien.” Still, he planned to stay and listen to the entire address.
Soon after standing up to applaud the US men’s hockey team, who Trump honored during the speech, Gomes was escorted out of the chamber by Moulton’s chief of staff Neesha Suarez.
DHS previously named the illegal:
.@RepMoulton plans to bring illegal alien Marcelo Gomes DaSilva.
Gomes DaSilva is an illegal alien who has no right to be in our nation. We are committed to enforcing the law and fighting for the arrest, detention, and removal of aliens like him.

But here’s the thing: Our laws aren’t ‘suggestions’ and they damn sure aren’t there for Democrats to pick and choose which ones they want to follow. The only way this insanity stops is if the laws are enforced and more people who break them experience consequences.
We already had a judge convicted for aiding an illegal alien to escape authorities. What is wrong with these people ? pic.twitter.com/8GXAFYyoZn

If a member of Congress used their office to harbor someone here illegally, that’s not activism. That’s obstruction. Investigate it, enforce the law, and stop pretending politicians get a different rulebook than the rest of us.

Moulton seems to have given us a great place to start.
Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News, “[He] is still an illegal alien and subject to removal proceedings. The Trump administration is committed to restoring the rule of law and common sense to our immigration system and will continue to fight for the arrest, detention and removal of aliens who have no right to be in this country.”
