Trump urged lawmakers to stand if they agreed that the first duty of government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens; about half the chamber stood. Two Democrats,Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib,were among the few who spoke up from the aisle,shouting that the president was \u201ckilling Americans\u201d amid ICE clashes,while many others <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/former-theranos-ceo-elizabeth-holmes-found-guilty-of-fraud-and-conspiracy\/\" title=\"Former Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes Found Guilty of Fraud and Conspiracy\">remained seated<\/a>.The article traces social media reactions, including tweets that criticized Democrats for prioritizing \u201cillegals\u201d over citizens, and notes comparisons to past conduct by Joe Wilson. It also mentions accountability debates around omar, who has not been censured despite prior calls, and Rep. Al Green, who was censured last year for standing and was escorted out again this year.the piece frames the moment as a vivid display of the ongoing political rift over immigration and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/elliott-abrams-launches-group-to-chart-gop-foreign-policy\/\" title=\"Elliott Abrams Launches Group to Chart GOP Foreign Policy\">national security policy<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The Democrats&rsquo; refusal to stand during President Donald Trump&rsquo;s State of the Union on Tuesday extended to a direct question as to whether they cared more about the U.S. citizens they were elected to represent or illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Tonight, I&rsquo;m inviting every legislator to join with my administration in reaffirming a fundamental principle,&rdquo; Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/us-mens-hockey-team-arrives-dc-patriotic-style-ahead-trumps-state-union\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support: The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens,&rdquo; he continued.<\/p>\n<p>One <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/dems-bring-illegal-aliens-state-union-guests-degrading-safety-trump-everyone-present\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">half of the chamber<\/a> stood, and it was predictable which half it was:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">&#128680; HOLY CRAP!
