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 CNNs State of the Union. We went into the processing center, where there are cages, certainly. People think there arent, 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.

what is it with these people? Don’t they know what “illegal” alien means? It is illegal to cross the border illegally, and it is therefore, a crime.

You just have to remember their mindset - modern white Americans owe the whole world a living because colonialism and slavery happened in the past.
Once you realize they all are taught that as an Ultimate Truth in government schools, their dumb statements start to make sense.

Ms. Lee,
They committed a CRIME. Which means that they are, by definition, CRIMINALIZED.

Sorry, meant to say I wonder if this person would say the same thing about Bonnie and Clyde. Truth is Hollywood has been doing that for years. All the great Western Robbers in the movies have been memorialized if not as heroes at least compassionate criminals.
I went to see the movie Bonnie & Clyde when it first came out, I think it was in Joplin MO, but the point is on the way out I heard a young man say, "that makes me want to go out and kill a cop."
