Rep. Barbara Lee, California Democrat, accused the Trump administration Sunday of “criminalizing” illegal immigrants.

Ms. Lee, who joined a congressional delegation that visited intake and detention facilities Saturday near the border in Texas, described the conditions as “tragic.”

“I mean, these people are being criminalized,” said Ms. Lee on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “We went into the processing center, where there are cages, certainly. People think there aren’t, there are, we saw these cages.”

At the detention center, she said, “we talked to maybe 10 or 15 mothers. These are jails. These are prisons. These are people who are being criminalized.”

#11: "That was redundant."

Yep. Next thing you know she will be saying that we are criminalizing criminals.

My God!These people are actually voted into office by the brain dead, and illegals!
CA IS truly wasted on Californians!

Well, let's see... they entered the US illegally in violation of our federal laws, many have done so multiple times. If that is not criminal, I'd don't know what is.

She is the product of affirmative action, a failed education, ignorant of our laws, customs, and culture.

There is no fixing Democrats. Our opposition is a segment of society that is broken, and there is no fixing it, only removing it to someplace it can’t harm us, or itself.

Apparently, it hasn't dawned on Lee yet about the connection between "illegal" and "criminal". Not the brightest intellect around.

A clerk at the local convenience store could do a better job of running the country than this mush-for-brains woman.

Breaking and entering is a criminal offense.
Whether it’s my house or my country, I expect the law to be enforced.

Another vapid California lib Congress critter. Gnats have larger mental capacities than this broad.

“criminalizing” illegal immigrants.

How does someone that stupid get elected? It is a poor reflection on the maroons who voted for her.

[Kozy]

Barbara you are a rock without a box. They are by their very nature, illegal, criminal. STUPID.

[Louis Foxwell]

Yeah. Me too. I had to read the lead 3 times to understand it. Well written. Just a clear expression of an imbecile.

[tennmountainman]

This racist is dumber than a rock.

[BurrOh]

Dear God, save us from these vicious raving lunatics.

[jazusamo]

You couldn’t be more right, Dems just make it up as they go along to suit themselves and they’re not about to change.

Everybody can see the difference in your hypothetical. Bonnie and Clyde were WHITE

And who are you smarty pants to assume they didn't self identify as Negro?

[DivineMomentsOfTruth]

The Democrats do Not want the Best and the Brightest immigrants to become American citizens. Why is that? It’s because the Best and the Brightest will Never vote for Democrats.

Funniest post of the day.

I heard a rumor that President Trump criminalized drug pushers, too.

Dumb as a doornail.

Her constituents are all poor black idiots from Houston.
