Nancy Pelosi says Democrats would never 'put children in cages,' apparently doesn't remember when Obama put children in cages

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said that Democrats made sure to take "full responsibility" to secure the U.S.'s southern border, and insisted that Democrats wouldn't put children in cages in order to do so.

House Democrats are debating a new border bill, and have proposed a $4.5 billion emergency spending package that does not include any of the border security measures sought by the GOP.

The House is expected to vote on the bill Tuesday. The White House has threatened to veto the House measure, reportedly because of a provision to reallocate approved aid to Central American countries.

Congress goes into recess for the Independence Day holiday after Thursday.

What did she say?

While addressing the House press corps at the U.S. Capitol, Pelosi called ICE's enforcement actions "outside the circle of civilized human behavior."

During her weekly press conference, she criticized President Donald Trump for taking a definitive stance on illegal immigration.

"It's ridiculous to think that the way to protect the border is to put children in cages," Pelosi said. "Democrats have taken full responsibility for the border, but we don't think we have to put children in cages to do it."

Pelosi touched upon a recent tweet by the president, in which he said that it was her "dream" to have open borders, the longtime lawmaker quipped, "No matter what my dream is, [Trump] would still be there."

She also went on to point out that she feels Trump is not capable of exhibiting "civilized human behavior."

What else?

In April, Trump denied reports that he was planning to reinstate family separations at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Speaking from the White House, the president said "We're not looking to do that. ... [O]nce you don't have [family separation], that's why you have many more people coming."

He also insisted that the family separation policy — and reports of holding children in cages — began under the presidency of former President Barack Obama.

"President Obama separated the children, by the way, just so you understand," he said. "President Obama separated the children. Those cages that were shown — I think they were very inappropriate. They were built by President Obama's administration, not by Trump."

He continued, "President Obama had child separation. Take a look. The press knows it, you know it, we all know it. I'm the one who changed that. I'll tell you something: once you don't have [family separation], that's why you see many more people coming. They are coming like it's a picnic, like 'Let's go to Disney Land.' President Obama separated children, I was the one who changed it."

  2. How many INVADERS has Pelosi taken into HER home?
    I pledge a $500+ donation to rent buses and move hundreds, thousands, of homeless and illegals to Pelosi's, Schumer's homes. They demand the Homeless & Illegals be "welcomed"? Take video of how THEY "welcome" the destitute. Soros and the Lefties paid to organize and transport those illegals up to Our border ... and then CRUELLY ABANDONED them at the border, We should move them the last miles to the Soros, Pelosi, Schumer homes, where they will be lovingly fed, clothed, housed. Be sure to get lots of video of the warm welcome extended by the Loving Liberals. They are openly declaring their Racist, Bigoted, HATE when they condemn Trump's offer to send ALL the Invaders to them.
    LEADERS do not eat until their People are fed. But WE are really not Their People ........
    Congress does not get SECURITY until the People get security.
    Remove ALL Taxpayer funded guards, barriers, door locks, gates and fences from all Congressional offices, facilities and homes. If OUR Families don't get security CONGRESS doesn't get security. Don't put up with this crap. If YOUR family is "UNWORTHY" of protection the stinking politicians certainly are unworthy.
    What happened to their mantra "IF it saves only ONE life it is worth it"?
    YOUR family's life is not "worth it"?! Not to Congress............
    Climb over THEIR walls and see how you are "welcomed".
    Walls Don’t Work? Then Why Did Dems Build GIANT Wall to Protect Their 2016 National Convention? https://flagandcross.com/wa...

  3. Cages? Should the kids be just let out to fend for themselves? Parents keep their kids in the house or on their property everyday to be able to monitor them and make sure they are ok.

    The facilities on the border are not mansions and require more segmentation to be able to keep track and know where to find kids at a moments notice. With so many kids, it's difficult for officers to keep track of who's who if the whole lot is in one big space.

    It's not an ideal situation, but it has to be remembered that it's the children's parents that have put them in this predicament and US authorities are trying to manage as best as they can. It's not easy to process around 100,000 people a month with most of them lying on every question asked of them.

  6.

  8. You genetically deficient Trump followers with a less than adequate IQ and a limited vocabulary seem proud to be associated with a three-time married, serial adulterer and confessed predator; a man whose election and business dealings and relationships are riddled with controversy and malfeasance. You’re perfectly fine supporting for this bullying, obnoxious, genitalia-grabbing, Tweet-ranting, Prime Minister-shoving charlatan who’s managed to offend all our allies in a few short months. And you’re okay with him putting on religious faith like a rented, dusty, ill-fitting tuxedo and immediately tossing it in the garbage when he’s finished with it. If so, you are just another one of Trump's followers who are nothing but a motley crew of has-beens, racists, misogynists, neo-fascists, theocrats, pedophiles and idiots.

  10. What do these illegal border crossing idiots expect. A royal stay at the Hilton Hotel with free filet Mignon steaks and cable television movies on demand give me a beak. They came over here its their fault we don't want them or asked them to come to America.

  11. How would droves of United States citizens be treated crossing the border illegally. Demanding Mexico change its laws to us, and pander to our needs pay for our health care and housing and so on wounder how that would workout probably like a screen door on a submarine.
