"The vast majority, vast, vast majority of children who are in the care of H.H.S. right now 10,000 of the 12,000 were sent here alone by their parents. That is when they were separated. So somehow weve conflated everything. But there is two separate issues. 10,000 of those currently in custody were sent by their parents with strangers to undertake a completely dangerous and deadly travel alone. We now care for them. We have high standards. We give them meals, we give them education, we give them medical care. There is videos, there is TVs, I visited the detention centers myself that would be my answer to that question."

We should consider that the border patrol doesn't catch everyone. So, what does this mean in terms of how many children are brought illegally into our country by strangers, not their parents? Tens of thousands?
I worry there is something very horrible afoot here. I worry the onslaught of media coverage about "separating families" is simply covering up the real reasons why tens of thousands of children are being brought here without their family.
I am relieved that legitimate parents can be confident their children are being looked after well, fed good food, sheltered comfortably, etc. And that the separation is temporary while they justice is in process for their illegally crossing our border.
Anyone else watching Fox and Friends this morning? Just like yesterday, they’re pounding this non-story relentlessly. I wouldn’t be surprised if they somehow work it into the weather report.
Child trafficking has been a lucrative business for this band of criminals for decades. This is nothing new.
Nielson was excellent......tough ....but took time TRYING to explain to the MSM babies what the facts are!
Just turn it off!
I watch less and less now.
At least they are all learning how to answer direct question with direct answers.
Not the smarmy pablum we were getting too used to under previous GOP admins.
If you’re a peasant, and some drug cartel tells you to either give them your children or we’ll skin your whole family and put them on an ant hill, what’cha gonna do?
Forget that strangers nonsense. The parents are paying guides to take them across Mexico and to our border. The parents are paying formal and informal people smugglers. Maybe MS13 gang members do this too. The money is decent.
If the media and Democrats keep up this constant drumbeat it's going to backfire on them bigtime.
Fox is run by the left wing .
Shep Smith is Exhibit A how far left they are .
Murdoch Family are Cheap labor express foreigners.
They are trying to Help Ryan Ran Thru Amnesty This week !
Timing is no coincidence !
Its the reason for this attack !
Yes, but Fox and Friends is generally favorable to President Trump, which is why I can’t figure out why they’ve bought into this crisis-of-the-week BS.
At least they are airing Trump's point, which is that Congress made the law, Congress should change the law. The other networks don't allow the possibility that the problem originates with the law.
Murdoch Bros want Open Borders !
This is perfectly timed attack to help Ryan get support to ram thru Amnesty .
I wouldn't doubt Ryan is helping coordinating the attacks on Trump .
This is no coincidence .
Planned attack to get Ryan's Amnesty push thru .
Even WH aides like Raj Shah a Gope operative is probably pushing Ryan Amnesty.
Reince Prebius planted Raj there .
Sorry for double post .
She’s awesome.
Weather Channel is more exciting.
Nielson was excellent......tough ....but took time TRYING to explain to the MSM babies what the facts are!

Time to double down. Just keep repeating the facts that she presented so well. No need for Republicans to run for cover or virtue signal.
