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.

"We" are not queen Nancy, even if the President is one.
Represent me, mother fker!
” the soul of our country is about respecting the dignity and worth of every person.”
Except for those subject to Pelosi’s Holy Ground of abortion.
She is insane.
I thought it was illegal for the US government to provide any representation for illegals. They have to provide their own or be represented at the expense of others, again, in my understanding.
Great response. Thank you. But do you think anyone will listen?
“Kill all the lawyers.” Shakespeare
Clearly the current crisis—any current crisis— was created to make attorneys even wealthier than they are…wealthy enough to increase their contributions to the Rats.
The black mulim from chi town should just pay the bill . ....
And so it goes in our “representive democracy”
the illegals have all the representation.
The taxpayers have none.
Gives airheads a bad rap.
If she was convinced the “chirdren” would vote R, she’d be compassionately making sure they were returned to sender.
Dear Nancy,
We cannot have immigration without representation.
And where is the “representation” for law abiding citizen taxpayers who will have to foot the bill for all these people?
Oh yeah, that’s right, we have none.
If we all, or even a significant minority of us, stopped paying income taxes, what would they do? The prisons and jails are extremely overcrowded right now and the courts are backlogged years into the future. What would they do? We call ourselves “The Tea Party” but the real tea party marched right up to a ship, broke open the hold and dumped that tea in the ocean.
deport Pelosi, deport Obama!
It would be a good start....
Biden and Harry Reid could be sent back to their home states to rot in well-deserved obscurity.
Can’t disagree with your description.
She is one stupid harpy.
