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 Administration’s cynicism and cruelty cannot be overstated,” Pelosi spokeswoman Ashley Etienne said in a statement Friday. “Using human beings—including little children—as 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 Administration’s 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.

I’m pretty sure Trump is just yanking their chains... while proving to everyone with a brain what hypocrites they are.
I THOUGHT THEY WANTED THEM???
Well, now does that mean what i think it does?
Good point! I remember he did that!
Truce.... you be more specific next time and I apologize for jumping the gun... I did give you a sec though...
The LA Times is now calling illegal aliens, GARBAGE!

That’s one idea.
But here is a better idea, and probably the only one that has a chance of changing their minds:
Bring them all to the D.C. area and put hundreds of them into every apartment building, townhouse development or residential area in D.C. and the Virginia, Maryland, etc ‘bedroom communities’ where the Senators, Representatives and their minions live.
Have the bus stop on zinfanel lane...
What a hypocrite
They should brand the waves of immigrants with Pelosi’s name.
Coin a phrase, like “Pelosi’s people”, or “Nanny’s Niños”.
Issue them them all some visible characteristic item, like a backpack goody bag, with a big letter N or P on it, supposedly to designate something else.
Make some memes, and have the President start using the nickname.
As Saul Alinsky might say say, Freeze the target - personalize it.
But most of all, drop them all off to start their American dream in the welcoming arms of Pelosi’s Congressional District, within a few blocks of the Ninth Circuit Court.
And if the complain, denounce their racism and call them Nazis.
Just funning' you...
I don’t understand why he can’t do it? They can release them in El Paso, they can release them in Phoenix, what not San Francisco? Why not LA? Why can’t they rent a building in Pelosi’s district to house them?
Truce? Sounds good. Can we just declare peace and enjoy each others posts?
I’m ok with that!
I think this is the best plan EVER..!

Really Nancy..?? I personally haven't came across anyone who thinks open borders is a good idea.. Maybe you just pulled that one out of your...imagination..

Imagine the optics of fields of buses loaded and ready to embark with migrants in tow.
This is an American problem not only a border state problem. If a lawmaker who lives thousands of miles away can decide what happens in a border state, they need skin in the game. This is to get the locals to force those politicians to do something about this
When Brown was Governor, I used to call them Jerry’s Kids.
