2020 Democratic presidential primary hopeful Amy Klobuchar said on Sunday that President Trump’s 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 ABC’s “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.

What is carrying out court-mandated deportation orders a distraction from? The NBA Summer League?
Who says I’m pissed? You?
That’s because you haven’t been paying attention.
I’m not pissed, I’m disappointed, my support for him goes probably goes back further than yours and isn’t going to be put off by the likes of you.
Following the law and enforcing court orders is a distraction from the left’s mendacious claims that Trump is not following the law.
Can you imagine how this is going to ramp up as the election nears?
The one thing I remember about her is that she ate her egg salad with a comb.
Apparently the Dems’ ridiculous position is that Trump WOULDN’T make news merely by being in office each day.
Was she smiling as she said it? She usually smiles when she is talking about serious stuff.

I am enraged at Trump. I am livid that he hasn’t had you, Kolubuchar, and the four freshmen Congress witches arrested and caned for the words that come out of your mouths.
Always tomorrow isn’t there?
Be careful, someone may tell you to shut up. You can’t be a true Trump believer unless you swallow the hole rig hook, line and sinker. It is blasphemy to speak the truth isn’t it?

If I was going to create a distraction it would be to provide cover for what I was really going to do. Trump is not stupid.
