Democrats push DHS Sec. Nielsen to resign over 'breaking up families' at the border

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.

She is following law that was passed in 1997.
These kids are being well fed, have AC, health care and great shelter.
Millions of American kids only wish they were treated the same.
She has and is doing a great job by the law.
No need to resign.

First time I’ve seen Democrats demand a Cabinet official resign for enforcing the law.

By all means, let’s abolish DHS and welcome in anyone who wants to come in.

Because, who really needs a country? Its reactionary and outdated and besides, it’s time to move on.

I want to commit a crime, like steal a car. I want to do it with two kids which may or may not be mine in the back seat.

I am exempt from going to jail and being separated from "my" kids?

American political theater is scripted for over emotional 12 year olds.

Hey, Democrats: If you don’t want the Trump administration to do that, change the law. They are following and enforcing the law.
