DHS Sec. Nielsen said 6/18 that the people at the border aren't really families anyway.

Portions of transcript of her speech to nation's sheriffs:

"Let’s be honest. There are some who would like us to look the other way when dealing with
families at the border and not enforce the law passed by Congress. Including some Members
of Congress. Past Administrations may have done so but we will not. We do not have the
luxury of pretending all individuals claiming to be a family are, in fact, a family.
We have to do
our job. We will not apologize for that."

"Additionally, when a child is apprehended with their parents, DHS is required – due to various
court rulings – to release that child within 20 days. As I mentioned earlier, this effectively
creates a “get out of jail free” card for families and groups who pose as families.
Unsurprisingly, word of this loophole has spread across the world. From October 2017 to this
February, DHS saw a staggering 315 percent increase in illegal aliens fraudulently using
children to pose as family units
to gain entry into the country, compared to the previous year."

Wow!! a whole new way to marginalize and degrade immigrants!!!! Way to go Secretary Nielsen.
(you fucking puke, waste of oxygen)

Seems like that would have made the news.

Or is this something Trump made up out of thin air and Nielsen just decided to pass on as fact?

We all know that you are a soulless inhumane person and honey, I will not apologize for my statement.

BTW you are a cold heartless ***** I saw the video of you at the Mexican restaurant tonight...MEXICAN???? That took some balls for you to dine tonight at that restaurant, bet you were appalled at the reception you got there. They yelled shame shame shame shame shame over and over again and there you sat with your head down the whole time. Was it in shame? I think not as you have no shame for what you said at the press conference today. You could not even look your accusers in the eye, you are just a coward that could not take as well as you gave. Go to hell Sec. Nielsen. We have an infestation all right, they all dwelling in tRumps house.
