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.
Its not just about having a heart; its 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.

Poster girl for term limits.
Nanzi conveniently excludes American children from her bleeding heart rant.
She and her lock-stepping Democrat cronies think it's okay to steal from Americans, to expose American children to exotic deadly diseases, dismember them during birth, brainwash them into being willing sheep led to the slaughter, adopt them out to homosexual pedophiles, deny them medical care, or whatever abuses Democrats have yet to dream up.
Self-righteous Democrats label us "meanies" b/c we want to protect our children----to protect them from bankrupt Democrat fantasies.
American parents protect their children ---- we don't throw them on top of speeding trains w/ no food or water, or adult supervision.
Americans don't want to expend all of America's resources to the tenth generation to subsidize illegal "children".
We did not invite illegals to the party.......they came here with no other aspirations than to leech off of US taxpayers and advance the armed invasion of the SW.
I’m starting to think that she’s a smoke screen for Biden.
When will someone charge Pelosi with aiding and abetting an illegal act? Can I hide a bank robber in my house without being charged?
I don't think she's had a period in a long time. With her insanity, that's probably a very good thing...

Nancy, you senile old beotch, read your living Constitution pr better yet invite it over for dinner and discuss how non citizens vote and garner reps.
Then again liberal elites can sift through illegals to find a few good servants (slavery-lite) and pass the rest on to Agribusiness to pick cherries. Kind of like the pre-civil war slaves that were sent to the Louisianan death fields. Expendable ...
Our culture asks for those 'yearning to be free' - for neighbors and fellow citizens... NOT for those 'yearning to be exploited' by liberal elites.
Obama loves this crazy bitch he also loves the crazy Harry Reid both of these idiots are showing the stupidity of the democrat party..The people that vote for this vermin are no better than them..CRAZY!!!! Pelosi sees employees for her restaurants and her husbands vineyards. Cheap labor The Dem’s imported their own slaves the others are getting to old..
I just read what she said. I don’t understand it though. It reads like it was lifted from an insane person’s manifesto.
And she’ll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats....
I do so long for the return of the Guillotine!
She’s got to be in the running for stupidest person to walk the earth. She definitely gives Rep. Hank Johnson a run for his money.
She again compared the children to the baby Jesus, who fled his home country as an infant to escape violence
When they start walking on TOP of the water when they cross the Rio Grande then I’ll agree with her.
I wish someone would ask these democrats and rinos JUST HOW MANY IS TOO MANY? Do we want to let EVERY kid from Central and South America to come here? Apparently their answer is “YES”.
Seriously, voters . . . . aren’t you getting tired of this crap?
