Nancy Pelosi in 2014:
"Let’s not politicize all of these children in detention facilities"



By John Sexton

Back in 2014, there was a surge of unaccompanied minors along the Texas border. The crisis stemmed in part from smugglers who convinced thousands of Central Americans that the Obama administrations’ new deferred action policy was a free pass for children entering the country.
As Jeryl Bier pointed out today on Twitter, at the height of the crisis, Rep. Nancy Pelosi traveled to a detention facility in Brownsville, Texas which was overwhelmed with child migrants. After visiting the center, Pelosi gave a press conference in which she described what she’d just seen as “dazzling – a sparkling array of God’s children, worthy of respect.”
~Snip~
Granted these situations aren’t perfectly parallel, but in both cases the results were similar, i.e. immigrant children, many without their parents, crowded into U.S. detention facilities. In one case, Pelosi hesitated to even call it a crisis and hoped no one would waste time politicizing it. In the other, she wasted no time politicizing it herself. Here’s a report from 2014 on Pelosi’s visit to the detention center in Brownsville.

How convenient. It was a great cause — until word got out that the situation was worse under Obama. Now it’s all, “Let’s move on. Nothing to see here.” The Progressive Left is replete with hypocritical compulsive liars.
On the other hand, it’s just the progressive Leftists doing their usual thing, ‘having it both ways’.
More and more people are starting to open their eyes and ears to these petulant liberal morons.
Meanwhile the MSM continues to carry water for the Progressives continually covering up their failings and criminal acts and foisting them upon their enemy with malice and hatred.
Obama, Pelosi and their fellow travelers have politicized the entire immigration issue and have used the children as pawns to attack America and President Trump.

Nancy used that "Spark of divinity" line then too. MS13 and kids ... they all have the same spark.
 
Unaccompanied minors

vs taking the kids from their parents

One huge difference
