I don’t use the b word, but it would really fit DHS Secretary Nielsen. Her words and manner are consistently arrogant and cruel.
One more of the the hideous Trump bunch.
Does she have kids?
Who a horrible, hideous woman - even lower than Donald and that is really really low.
She is imprisoning children…
Ladies and gentleman, the nomination period for Rethugliklan Mother of the Year is now officially closed.
Congratulations Kirstjen Nielsen!
Another Republican trope exposed as hypocrisy. So much for the sacredness of the family unit and always doing what’s best for the kids involved. This is heartless, cruel, and despicable. Just another day in Trump’s America.
I’m fairly certain she’s doing this due to pressure from Trump. The only moral thing for her to do was to actually resign in no uncertain terms rather than letting us know she was thinking about it.
A couple of observations: 1. Entering the United States without lawful authorization is not a crime.
- A person who makes a claim for asylum does not commit a crime by doing so.
And one more thing: The secretary knows this. Or certainly should.
The authorities separate families without proper papers all the time.
Happens every day.
Oh, look – here are some new arrivals, now, who are about to be separated:
Let us not forget that nearly 1,500 migrant children have gone missing due to this policy.
And, though children are separated from their parents in situations related to criminal activity in the US, those children are usually either placed with other family members or at least near to them.
“It is our duty to protect them, to keep them in a safe
environment,” Nielsen said.
and then added …
" until we can get around to prosecuting the little law breakers …
but the department is a little stretched right now " —
Kirstjen Nielsen: “I mean, just look at the White House. The President’s immigrant wife hasn’t lived there in months.”
“I could not agree with your concerns more, period,” Nielsen said.
Um, the last person I remember who ended a sentence with “period” was a big, fat liar.
Yeah! Too bad Don Blankenship’s not in the running anymore, you know, “for the sake of the kids.”

Here’s the t-shirt:
USA: Separating Immigrant Families since 2016!
Oh, look – here are some new arrivals, now, who are about to be separated:
Now, if we can only come up with some standards for determining which of the adults might productively contribute to nearby, ongoing businesses while awaiting deportation, we may be able to defer some of the costs of this so badly needed pogram.
You have to leave your soul on hold twice to become a trumpite . First when you join the corrupt admin, and second when you’re asked to justify policies that go against every humane instinct you might have ever had.
Let us not forget that Kirstjen Nielsen was in charge of coordinating President George Bush’s emergency response to Hurricane Katrina. She received the urgent calls from New Orleans officials that the levees has breached and decided to not to activate any resources for New Orleans.
The sadists running this admin are willfully ignorant about this. From the reporting:
Most of the children are from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, and were fleeing drug cartels, gang violence and domestic abuse, government data shows.
We all got to know Michael (“Heck of a job Brownie”) and how incompetent he was, hadn’t heard Nielson’s name yet. It’s another case of failing upward.
Children to the left of me, mothers to the right, here I am stuck in the middle with Fritz.
