Pelosi Plays Politics While Children Die in Overcrowded Detention Facilities

[BWK]

Why didn't Trump and Republicans make this a priority when they controlled Congress. They did nothing and are now trying to use this as a political tool.

They weren’t coming in in record numbers.

But, yes, both sides have fault, to a certain degree, but right now Dems are responsible.

This was a problem 2yrs ago and Trump and Republicans were playing pocket pool and didn't"t do a damn thing.

That graph is nothing more than a reflection of the mounting illegal immigration by our own country. We just put aircraft on the Galapagos Islands to watch Venezuela. Why are we illegally infringing upon that country? The aircraft is where it is because of our takeover of the country of Ecuador; CIA in South America | Geopolitical Monitor

You think this problem just magically popped up two years ago? Obama’s Migrant Centers Overcrowded, Disease-Ridden, Topped With Razor Wire

Fuck off, moron.

Trump Humpers are fucking idiots.

The problem existed when King Barry was in office, idiot. That's the point. YOU brought up the two year time line.

The problem existed long before Pres Obama took office Shithead. You ass clowns are pointing the finger at Democrats about the problem, but why didn't Trump and his minions do anything the last 2yrs.

OP, why would you think I care about the children of illegals? These illegal crotch-fruit will simply grow up to be American-hating parasites just like their parents.

 

[Claudette]

The fact people have DIED in the detention centers really proves nothing. Their condition on arrival may have made death imminent, regardless of the conditions at the camps.

I agree and Congress should be working on changing the asylum laws so these deadbeats aren't in the US at all.

If they do that then there will be no "humanitarian" bullshit at all.

 

[Third Party]

Yes, the Left is trying to overload our immigration system to make it fail, and this is causing unnecessary suffering and even death of children and others at facilities designed for 4k people but holding 15k.

So this scandal is now being used by Democrats, who control the House and have to start funding efforts for more facilities, to play political games. They are trying to slip in provisions that would make it more difficult for our government to control who enters our nation in an age of terrorism and obscene human trafficking. For those who don't know it, the USa is the worlds largest human trafficking nation thanks to the efforts of corporations to supply black market labor and their corporate crony networks in DC that facilitate their illegal activity.

White House threatens veto on House border bill

Some of the provisions added by Democrats include measures that withhold funding from detention centers at the border. The push to pass the bill comes as reports of child deaths after being detained at the border continue to grow.

Customs and Border Protection Chief Operating Officer John Sanders told The Associated Press last week that children have died after being in the agency's care. He said Border Patrol stations are holding 15,000 people — more than triple their maximum capacity of 4,000....

The deliberations over the bill, meanwhile, are posing a major challenge to Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s grip on her party.

It’s unclear when and if the bill might get a vote, even as the Senate is ready to proceed with its own version. Liberal Democrats are calling for provisions to strengthen protections for migrant children, and challenge the Trump administration’s border policies. Democrats met on Capitol Hill with Pelosi late Monday to try and reach a compromise.

Asked before the meeting about concerns that Democrats’ push for perfection might result in inaction at the border, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., called it “a delicate situation.” Afterward, she appeared to have left the door open saying: “My main goal is to keep kids from dying,” before calling the humanitarian bill a “short-term” measure.”

But others weren’t swayed. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., said after the meeting: “We cannot continue to throw money at a dysfunctional system. We are not just asking for simple changes to be made into this bill, but to go back to the drawing board and really address this from a humanitarian issue.”

The White House accused lawmakers in a letter earlier Monday of trying to undermine its efforts at the border.

Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar also told Fox News on Monday that the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border is dire. Azar said HHS shelters are at capacity and the budget is not there to increase it unless Congress acts.

Congress plans to leave Washington in a few days for a weeklong July 4 recess. While lawmakers don’t want to depart without acting on the legislation for fear of being accused of not responding to humanitarian problems at the border, it seems unlikely that Congress would have time to send a House-Senate compromise to Trump by week’s end.

Pelosi didn't create her own Gestapo. Trump did. She's not president DA; www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/watch/revelations-of-immigrant-detention-camp-horrors-renews-outrage-62601797898

She did NOTHING to help. But its OK-it will discourage others.

I just saw her today fighting for their rights and safety. Something I have never seen Trump do. So yes, she is doing something, and you are wrong.

Not wrong-she proposed a bill that won't pass-she's a fraud. Let the kids stay put as is-it will discourage those bringing them or those cheer leading the illegal invasion. No fair minded American should condone line jumping.

Trump offered to give democrats their DACA win in exchange for money for the wall, shitbag. Chuck and Nancy said no way. Democrats simply won't agree to anything that makes the border better and that includes improved security.

But look who I'm trying to convince. It's like talking to a pile of compost.

Nonsense. The only children dying in detention centers are those who were sick when they got there.
