‘We Will Not Apologize’ — Homeland Security Secretary Defends Family-Separation Policy
National Review, Jun 18, 2018, Jack Crowe

Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen defended the Trump administration’s highly contentious “zero tolerance” immigration-enforcement policy Monday as the inevitable result of congressional inaction on immigration.

 â€œWe will not apologize for the job we do or for the job law enforcement does, for doing the job that the American people expect us to do,” Nielsen said during her Monday address to National Sheriffs’ Association in New Orleans. “Illegal actions have and must have consequences. No more free passes, no more get-out-of-jail-free cards.”

Nielsen went on to decry inaccurate media portrayals of the Trump administration’s enforcement policy, which requires the detention and prosecution of all individuals caught crossing the border illegally. The policy has resulted in the separation of roughly 2,000 children from their parents, who are in detention awaiting trial.

The separations have been attacked as immoral by congressional Democrats and a handful of Republicans, who advocate a return to the previous policy of releasing individuals awaiting trial for trying to immigrate illegally with their children. But Nielsen placed blame for family separations squarely on lawmakers, citing legislative inaction on immigration reform as the central obstacle to changing the system. She also suggested that previous administrations are partly to blame for incentivizing child trafficking by providing “free passes” to adults who try to cross the border with children.

I think I might be falling for this woman.

She has more "balls" than Paul Ryan, that's for sure.

On a side note, boy is this Nielsen woman kinda hot for some govt' functionary...

Indeed.  I'm really hoping that Ryan finds the exit door very soon.  I am all for legal immigration, but the illegals can't stay.  If anything the U.S. is owed an apology for other countries putting U.S. citizens at risk and for the taxpayers having to foot the bill.

I hope Ryan finds the door fast also.  I would also call upon Laura to listen to the DHS Secretary and if she still has criticism to spell it out exactly.  Because as she has said we are following the laws enacted by Congress.  What is happening at the border is crime business.

Good on ya, Ms. Nielsen.
Stand tall and keep standing against the leftists/democrat-communists.

Isn't it refreshing to hear someone from "Homeland Security" talk this way regarding the illegal invasion?

Yes, yes it is.

Nice to see Homeland Security mean Securing the Homeland rather than trying to stomp on it.

It's good to see someone with the stones to stand up for what is right in DC,even if it is a woman that has to show the males there what it means to be a man.
