Rep. Barbara Lee accuses Trump administration of 'criminalizing' illegal immigrants

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.”

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.

“criminalizing” illegal immigrants.

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

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.

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.

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