A scuttled White House proposal to release immigrant detainees in San Francisco and other sanctuary cities triggered a fierce backlash Friday from Democrats including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, whose office called the idea despicable.
The Washington Post first reported that the White House proposed sending the detainees to sanctuary cities, including Pelosi's district, twice in the last six months. The proposal was first floated in November amid reports of a large migrant caravan from Central America making its way to the southern border. The idea was again considered in February, amid the standoff with Congress over a border wall.
The extent of this Administrations cynicism and cruelty cannot be overstated, Pelosi spokeswoman Ashley Etienne said in a statement Friday. Using human beingsincluding little childrenas pawns in their warped game to perpetuate fear and demonize immigrants is despicable, and in some cases, criminal.
She added: The American people have resoundingly rejected this Administrations toxic anti-immigrant policies, and Democrats will continue to advance immigration policies that keep us safe and honor our values.
Officials stressed that the plan never went anywhere.

What did the residents of Twin Falls, Sandpoint and Missoula think about having Syrian refugees dumped in their towns?
Up yours? IS that directed to me?
.her guest(s) that is.
Rest assured they will be no where near her backyard or Feintsteins or Jackie Spiers for that matter. These women live in exclusive neighborhoods.

Nancy should be dancing in the streets, proclaiming that she has “Won against trump” and gotten illegals into her district.
Nancy and her ilk, not you!
If your remarks were directed at me, you either misunderstood my comments or you just like to be rude at anyone for any reason. Do it elsewhere...don’t aim that kind of comment in my direction! Not on FR..
Thanks for clarifying!
Give me a second! I got called away!
You know what they say about payback!
Right. Send them to Hawaii. A diverse citizenship. Liberal politicians. No way to leave.

“She added: The American people have resoundingly rejected this Administrations toxic anti-immigrant policies, and Democrats will continue to advance immigration policies that keep us safe and honor our values.”
Sure Nan. The main reason Trump is president and not Hillary is immigration. And the majority disagrees with you.
Best election evah.

Trump should order FEMALE to erect tents just outside the Pelosi compound. ‘Course she’ll probably have them harvesting her grapes.
Trump should hammer on this all flipping weekend.
These are sanctuary cities, they chose to have that policy. Therefore, they not only should have these “immigrants” sent there, they should standing at the borders of their communities with signs proclaiming the immigrants are welcome there.
He should hit on the fact that the left has manipulated the laws to be so restrictive in how quickly asylum requests must be processed or the asylum seeker must be released into the US until they receive a hearing, that no one can achieve the requirements. Therefore, where should these immigrants go.
And, he should hammer home the argument about how these sanctuary cities claim they can’t afford these “immigrants.” These are the same leftists claiming that these are hard-working, self-sustaining people who just want a better life. What is there to afford.
I propose “ladders for homeless” in sanctuary cities like San Francisco. Criminal Foreign nationals and other homeless should have the sanctuary that a walled home affords. Access to clean shrubbery to defecate in and a pool for personal hygiene not to mention refrigerators to raid. Qaeda
