During a hearing with House Democrats on Tuesday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi argued that the bill proposed by Republicans did not have the adequate resources to help unattended minors crossing the border with the immigration court process.
The bill, announced by Republicans on Tuesday, would spend $659 million in new spending in response to the crisis on the border.
Citing a friend, Pelosi said that “we cannot have deportation without representation,” and she praised the groups that were working to help the detained children.
The hearing featured unattended minors, now living in the United States, who complained about how border officials treated them.
“It’s not just about having a heart; it’s about having a soul,” Pelosi said after the children finished testifying. “And the soul of our country is about respecting the dignity and worth of every person. The soul of our country is about giving every person access to rights who is in our country.”
Pelosi noted that sending the children back to their home countries would be like sending them “back into a burning building.”
She again compared the children to the baby Jesus, who fled his home country as an infant to escape violence.
“So we do appeal to our country and our colleagues to have a heart when it comes to people coming into our country, some seeking amnesty and asylum to escape violence in Central America or wherever they come from,” she said.

“The soul of our country is about giving every person access to rights who is in our country.”
Is that a valid English sentence?
Nancy Pelosi: ‘We Cannot Have Deportation without Representation’
Giving Foreign Aliens rights above citizens IS TREASON you ping pong eyed B##TCH....
Too bad we Americans don’t get a little representation with our taxation.
[“You’ve got more rights as an illegal alien than as a citizen.”
Citizenship is overrated these days. ]
“citizen” is just another word for Tax Paying chump these days... Unless the citizen is on gubermint cheese, then they are a Tax Taking vote lever pulling moron...
She’s losing it. Period.
This silly ass of a woman outdoes herself every day with the sheer stupidity of her utterances.
She is a total assclown, she has to be removed but by whom? The rest of the clowns have no guts to do it.
Uh, what? Wait...isn't that "taxation"? What sort of "representation" does an illegal alien have? And yeah, they're just like baby Jesus, who also didn't have a lawyer when he was ducking Herod's head-choppers. You betcha.
I do believe I have fallen through the Pelosi mental wormhole and into an alternate universe.
“Too bad we Americans don’t get a little representation with our taxation.”
Representation? The nature of the Jizya is that you are allowed to live as a second class citizen as long as your labors subsidize the True Faith. Representation has nothing to do with it.
If Nancy Pelosi was alive when Mary was pregnant she would have urged her to have an abortion.
“It’s not just about having a heart; it’s about having a soul,” Pelosi said after the children finished testifying. “And the soul of our country is about respecting the dignity and worth of every person. The soul of our country is about giving every person access to rights who is in our country.”
Pelosi noted that sending the children back to their home countries would be like sending them “back into a burning building.”
Get their parents over here, if living and locatable. If not, then suitable and willing relatives, or failing that non-relatives from their home country. Give the kid to them, and give them a few hundred bucks and a ride to the border.
Good grief. Libtards couldn’t grab Elian Gonzalez fast enough. Now they’re making with the violin music?
re: “She again compared the children to the baby Jesus, who fled his home country as an infant to escape violence.”
The infant Jesus had been targeted for assassination by Herod. Mary and Joseph left because of a direct warning by the Magi that Herod was out to kill Jesus. This wasn’t because of a general “violent” atmosphere of the culture.
As everyone has already picked up on, Pelosi is no historian or theologian.
re: “Its funny how the democrats shifted from screaming about the epidemic of gun violence in America to declaring America to be a safe haven from violence in a matter of days.”
You’re right. How can America be a safe haven from violence when its crawling with gun-toting, trigger happy, Tea Partiers, military veterans, and rabid Christian evangelicals?

It’s such a sad state of affairs when headlines and news stories, seem like satire, but they aren’t.
Ugh...this woman needs to be in a home. A home with padded cells, special jackets and cups of meds 3 times a day.
These arguments about “it’s for the children” would be believable, if they weren’t made by the same people that support the KILLING OF UNBORN BABIES in the MILLIONS.
Time for this S.F. Ho to put her money where her big mouth is. She can pay for the “lawyers” for the freeloading liars with her OWN money. Send them home!!! They all are liars and freeloaders. Besides, the U.S. is too dangerous of a place for them to grow up. Ask any anti-Second Amendment commie ‘RAT. They’ll tell you.
re: “Too bad we Americans don’t get a little representation with our taxation.”
Exactly.
There was a line in “The Patriot” (Mel Gibson) where the main character said, “I would rather have one tyrant 3000 miles away (meaning King George III), than 300 tyrants one mile away.” Granted he was advocating against revolting against England (which he later changed his opinion on), but he had a good point about the number of tyrants closer to home (Continental Congress) doing more damage than one tyrant 3000 miles away in England.
Now we have over 535 tyrants and no representation.
