Pelosi fumes over White House plan to release immigrant detainees in sanctuary cities
Fox News ^ | 4-12-19 | Brooke Singman

A scuttled White House proposal to release immigrant detainees in San Francisco and other sanctuary cities triggered a fierce backlash Friday from Democrats including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, whose office called the idea “despicable.”

The Washington Post first reported that the White House proposed sending the detainees to sanctuary cities, including Pelosi's district, twice in the last six months. The proposal was first floated in November amid reports of a large migrant caravan from Central America making its way to the southern border. The idea was again considered in February, amid the standoff with Congress over a border wall.

“The extent of this Administration’s cynicism and cruelty cannot be overstated,” Pelosi spokeswoman Ashley Etienne said in a statement Friday. “Using human beings—including little children—as pawns in their warped game to perpetuate fear and demonize immigrants is despicable, and in some cases, criminal.”

She added: “The American people have resoundingly rejected this Administration’s toxic anti-immigrant policies, and Democrats will continue to advance immigration policies that keep us safe and honor our values.”

Officials stressed that the plan never went anywhere.

POTUS is a master at pushing LIEberal buttons!

He has got them so flummoxed, LIEberals are arguing against their own immigration-open-border arguments!

I love it!

Tucker nailed LIEberals tonight on this issue! His opening monologue was a thing of beauty and a joy to behold!

How does it feel, Nancy? You RATS have dumped refugees into red states for years! Your turn to enjoy that multicultural diversity! Have fun.

What good is a sanctuary city if you cannot release immigrants there? Isn't that what they are for?

I don’t think the Pres. Can do it


Sure he can do it. Catch and release means releasing them somewhere. Why not in cities that protect them? Makes perfect sense.

And the way we demonstrated that is by electing Donald Trump President because of HIS immigration and border policies and promises.

Liberals are masters of projection.

Nancy Pelosi and George Soros are using human beings—including little children—as pawns in their warped game to gain power by using illegal immigrants to vote in America’s elections is despicable, and criminal.

Because she’s not stupid, she simply leads stupid people. She knows as much as anyone just how destructive these human locusts are and wants a part of them no more than we do.

Her aim, of course, was to use them as a weapon against us - being the target of her own weapon is no fun at all.
