Democrats push DHS Sec. Nielsen to resign over 'breaking up families' at the border
CNBC.Com ^ | June 19, 2018 | Jacob Pramuk

At least 10 Democratic lawmakers have urged Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen to resign over her role in the Trump administration's policy of separation of migrant families.

The push underscores the massive resistance the White House faces for the policy of splitting up families crossing U.S. borders illegally. While backlash has been bipartisan, the most fierce resistance has come from the political left in blue pockets of the country. Most of the members of Congress calling for the Cabinet member's ouster represent those areas.

Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., first called for Nielsen to step down over the widely condemned separation practice. In a tweet Monday, she contended that "under [Nielsen's] watch, our government has committed human rights abuses by breaking up families along the southern border."

"And she has failed to be accountable to and transparent with the American people," said the first-term senator, who is considered a potential 2020 Democratic presidential candidate.

When the Rats try to pressure her to resign, she ought to be grinning ear to ear, just like when Gomer Pyle gets a butt chewing from Sergeant Carter.

Here’s a story from 2014 of Hillary stating the same thing Trump does. The kids don’t belong there and should not expect to gain admission. Obama had same problem but found a way to keep it quiet when the U.S. media became politicized. http://www.newsweek.com/hillary-clinton-immigration-children-daca-661952 . Why don’t you post this article, instead?

Laboratory rats have been put into situations where there is intentional overcrowding, and their responses are startling in many ways. The male rats form gangs, stealing food and sleeping space from the less organized rats, and these rat gangs also introduce the concept of rat rape, taking down females that have been isolated from the others, in a serial gangbang that would make MS-13 proud.

The other rats, fearful of the consequences, end up either not breeding at all, or devouring their young soon after birth, and becoming as reclusive as possible under the circumstances, cowering in small niches and only coming forth when hunger or other natural bodily processes become imperative.

A microcosm of every human slum the world has ever known.

So, designating the Democrats as “Rats” is not so nearly far off the mark at all.

This is great. Kirstjen Nielsen is honest, enforces the law, and is a female.

I like the sight of Kamala Harris vs. Kirstejen Nielsen.

We can definitely win if these two women get into a debate, but Harris knows Nielsen is strong and will back off from a direct confrontation.

People are going through an education process. Yes, we need to have a better short term solution, but the Dems have no solutions whatsoever other opening up the borders.

Not gonna work.

The democrats/MSM think they have finally discovered the silver bullet to finish off Trump.

However, they forgot to calculate the fatigue factor for the average person. The kind of frenzy they think this is causing cannot last very long. But the frenzy is not with the average person at all, it is solely with them (I am referring to their fake frenzy.)

This means that her press conference yesterday was effective.

Sec. Nielsen was outstanding yesterday! And just so there was no mistaking what she said, she posted all her points on Twitter.

I was very impressed with her. Another great pick by the President.

I see 10 members of the Idiotocratic Party who need to resign to raise the Party’s collective IQ.

Hell, if an American woman with three kids is out on a drug offense, breaks probation (tests bad or has a known druggie in the house) they take her kids away! I guess illegal aliens are special!

‘The democrats should be resigning since they refuse to help fix the problem.’

the last thing they want to have is this situation remedied; they’ve seized the moral highground, and can demagogue the weak Trump response to death with it...

Since losing both chambers of Congress and the Presidency, desperate Democrats are now regularly going straight for the triple-dog-dare of calling for resignation of anyone who opposes them.

I encourage everyone to listen to this interview from Breitbart Radio last night with Brandon Darby. They discuss the 2014 photo of children in processing centers with space blankets, and the true plight of illegal alien border crossers. It's heartbreaking stuff, especially when you follow it with how our crass MSM covered it up during the Obama years and are blaming Trump for it now.

“The Democrat Party is doing its best to hide the IG report”

Its all about politics for them - this is standard Alinsky tactics. All tactics, no substance.

Saul Alinsky’s 13th and final rule for radicals is “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy.

Just another day of trying to demonize and destroy someone, to keep their mob worked up.

Secretary Nielsen should call on those legislators to resign - this is a problem with their laws, and they have been ineffective at fixing them.

Nary a word that it was Bubba Clinton and the then congress that put this law into motion.

Exactly! I care not one bit for these frauds showing up on the border. They can KMA.

As far as I’m concerned, they brought this on themselves.

The absolute true gem in this pile of crap is that the Democrats think it’s a winning issue with the American people! LOLOLOLOL
