Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) on Tuesday called for Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen to resign over the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy, which resulted in the separation of migrant children from their parents at the southern border.
“It is and was a cruel policy inconsistent with the bedrock values of the nation,” Durbin said during an oversight hearing of the government’s efforts to reunite the families. “Someone in this administration has to accept responsibility.”
Durbin, the second-ranking Democrat in the Senate, joins a growing list of senators calling out Nielsen for her role in the administration's separation of families. Democratic Sens. Kamala Harris (Calif.), Mazie Hirono (Hawaii), Jeff Merkley (Ore.), Tammy Duckworth (Ill.), and Tina Smith (Minn.) have all called on Nielsen to resign.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said it has reunited all children in its custody with eligible parents. According to a court filing, the government reunited 1,442 families with children aged 5 and older by a July 26 deadline.
But there are another 711 children in the care of the HHS Office of Refugee Resettlement whose parents are either not eligible for reunification or unavailable.
Never mind that Obama did it.
They got Scott Pruitt. Why not give it a shot?
I think the only RAT more smarmy than “The Dick” Durbin is Jerrold Nadler, the man with a head where the his cranial region is half the diameter of his mouth area. Most dogs have larger brains than this pig. Looks like he could hoover a brisket in one bite!
There are no daycares in any jails in the country. When a US citizen gets arrested and she goes to jail, the kids don’t go with her. They are separated. It happens millions of times per year.
Durbin would rather have those kids ABORTED and be PERMANENTKY Separated from their parents!
Don’t pay them any attention, Ms Nielsen.
This is a phony controversy, and they all know it.
I recommend doubling down on border control!
That’s right.
Durbin needs to vote for funding the wall, that will help reduce the illegal traffic and parents putting children into these situations.
Perhaps this Senate Douche Bag would like to demand Madd Maxine’s resignation for inciting violence!
Support Free Republic, Folks!
So the policy was put into effect under Bill Clinton and has been in effect every since. This entire narrative has been brought to you by the deepstate. Watch the players including this Senator and the Media. It is all staged.
It is good to ignore little Dicky Turbin.

Dick needs to be called out name by name on his proposed solution in the interest of those children
See Dick.
See Dick lie.
See Dick fail.
Don’t be a Dick.
I call on Durbin Dick to resign. There, we’re even.
I call on Dick Durbin to resign. Gee, that was easy.
Dick should understand, as the snot-nosed dick Hogg met with much approval for the same type of reply.
I see Turdbrain’s mouth and brain are still not talking to each other.
Hey Dick!
Is that what you told Obama?
This just proves that Durban is senile.
