In the wake of the deaths of two migrant children, outgoing White House chief of staff John Kelly blamed former Attorney General Jeff Sessions for the policy that separated children from their parents at the border.
What happened was Jeff Sessions, he was the one that instituted the zero-tolerance process on the border that resulted in both people being detained and the family separation, Kelly told the Los Angeles Times in an interview published Sunday. He surprised us.
Sessions, who President Trump fired after the midterm elections in November, announced the zero-tolerance policy in May, saying it would act as a deterrent to immigrant families because children would be separated from their families.
If you cross the border unlawfully, then we will prosecute you. Its that simple, Sessions said at a press conference at the border.
Kelly, who is leaving the White House on Wednesday, said the announcement caught the Department of Homeland Security unprepared and left DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen holding the ball.
He wouldnt directly answer a question about whether Trump manufactured a migrant invasion at the border before Novembers elections but did say, We do have an immigration problem.

A lot of BAD picks and he/we have paid the price especially when it comes to the slow and relentless coup and the border is as bad as it was when Trump took office. Kelly, Mattis and Neilson kept troops off of border control. Now another 14,000 are headed north.
Classy. Not!
Chris Christie brought many bad choices into the Trump circle, like Chris Wray. Also, check out how many Trump appointees have direct connection to Kirk & Ellis law/lobbying firm. Jones-Day is big influence too.
The big law/lobbying forms are the real Deep State. They’re the ones that make government employees multimillionaires. Appointees start in those firms and return to those firms when the Executive Branch changes hands.
Open borders dickweed
I hear that bs from Russians all the time about how they won WW2. A few tings to consider: Russia didn’t fight the Germans in North Africa or on the island of Sicily or the Italian mainland. The Russians didn’t posses a navy that ended the U boat threat in the North Atlantic. The Russians didn’t participate in the greatest sea borne invasion in history, that being The Normandy Landings. The Russians didn’t posses a strategic air force that pounded German cities and war industries into dust as did the American 8th. Air Force and the RAF. Other than that, yeah, it’s fair to say the Russians helped a bit. Of course, that’s before they signed a non aggression pact with Hitler allowing them to snap up the Baltic States and invaded Poland two weeks after the Germans did AND invaded Finland.
Kelly needs to fade away like all old Generals should.
That’s because the Soviet Union was occupied with Operation Barbarossa...the greatest land invasion in history.Details and spheres of influence were worked out between Stalin, Churchill and Roosevelt. My point is that if Hitler had not made the strategic blunder of invading Mother Russia he would have had dozens of divisions, armored, aircraft etc to throw at the Western Front. It was a mighty bitch for the allies as it was but if those forces had been freed up ...who knows.
I don’t understand why these adults who are dragging these children across the desert aren’t being arrested for child abuse.
