2020 Democratic presidential primary hopeful Amy Klobuchar said on Sunday that President Trumps controversial immigration raids were not about making the country safer, but about distracting the public from the real issues making the news.
"If you wanted to go after security risks, and there are people who are security risks, why would you alert them and say you're doing this on a Sunday and do it two weekends in a row?" Klobuchar, a senator from Minnesota, said during an interview on ABCs This Week. "Why? Because you want to make news, right?"
On immigration, Klobuchar one of the most moderate candidates vying for the Democratic nomination said that if she won the White House she would look into making an illegal border crossing into a federal misdemeanor offense. Her statement separates her from some of her more progressive rivals who are calling for the abolition of any charges against people who make an unauthorized border crossing.
"I support different enforcement policies," Klobuchar said. "But I don't support open borders and simply getting rid of this statute."
The Trump administration has issued a zero tolerance policy toward unauthorized crossings, ordering prosecutors to bring criminal charges against migrants crossing the border.

Should have been an everyday occurrence.
Its not at all unusual for law enforcement to enforce court orders.
This is what separates US from most of the world.

Like ignoring a parking ticket!
Uh, how many is clubcar moving in to her place and supporting? Oh, none? Where’s her compassion?
Until I see the first MILLION chipped for future identification and shipped back to somewhere outside the US I am going to have to agree with this witch.
Only after the first million and a continuing steady flow out will I be able to be be convinced the invasion is being stopped and reversed.
Whatever level of offense it is now it is being ignored even less than a parking ticket. If you have parking tickets they boot your car. Far worse than what happens to illegal invaders.
SHUT UP BICH!
I know she and all candidates beat President Trump in the latest polls roflmao
“Klobuchar calls immigration raids a distraction, calls them Trump’s effort to ‘make news’”
Aaaaaannnnd Klouchar just can’t resist taking President Trump’s bait, thus:
A. Giving him more publicity in his effort to put “America First”.
B. Providing another straw on the camel-back of the Dem’s “America Last” policies they’ve decided to use to counter President Trump’s “America First” policies.
When President Trump was inaugurated I expected deportations to begin within weeks, as he promised during the campaign.
It’s beginning to look like I was the fool.
See my tagline, first posted mid 2015.
Keep talking, Fool
America is listening to your continuing stupidity
Hmmmmm. And her statement is intended to do what?
And yet here she is, not ignoring a “distraction”.
“Klobuchar calls immigration raids a distraction, calls them Trump’s effort to ‘make news’”
I agree with her. Best just to ignore the “distraction” and let Trump waste his time deporting them.
Wont he be cross when after doing so, no one was paying attention? Tee-hee.
Or effort to get the job done.
“When President Trump was inaugurated I expected deportations to begin within weeks, as he promised during the campaign.
Its beginning to look like I was the fool.”
Stay home in 2020 and please just shut the hell up, along with the other clowns in this thread screaming about how it isnt enough or fast enough.
I mean it, since you are so pissed that massive opposition has been tossed at him since day one, and he magically didn’t just “ignore” the rest of the government (like he is a dictator), then you ought to just stay home and then really look like a fool when Biden or Harris tell you to go royally F yourself when you start whining about illegals in 2021.
Is this a deal, or do you like the environment when you have a president that is pushing this as hard as he can, while you sit on your ass in the background and complain?
For all these liberal women who weep over treatment of ILLEGAL ALIENS: I don’t wish any of you or your family members are ever raped or kill by an ILLEGAL ALIEN but if that happens, I won’t shed a tear over it.
These Dems can’t seem to understand the obvious:
“It is better to stay silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.”
They are not only fools, but dangerous fools.
