Homeland Security head insists national emergency at border is 'real'

- Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen insisted Wednesday the crisis at the southern border is not manufactured, as she faced questions from Democrats for the first time since they took control of the House.
"We face a crisis - a real, serious and sustained crisis at our borders," she said at a House Homeland Security Committee hearing. "Make no mistake: This chain of human misery is getting worse."
Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson said he wanted to use the hearing in part to give Nielsen the opportunity to start a "serious discussion," rather than echoing President Donald Trump's claims of a security crisis at the border, and to say what she knew about the family separations last year. He said real oversight over the border was long overdue.
"No amount of verbal gymnastics will change that she knew the Trump administration was implementing a policy to separate families at the border," Thompson said. "To make matters worse, the administration bungled implementation of its cruel plan, losing track of children and even deporting parents to Central America without their children."
Nielsen was grilled on whether she was aware of the psychological effects of separating children from their parents, and when she knew ahead of time about the "zero tolerance" policy that led to the separation of more than 2,700 children from their parents last year. And she was asked about conversations with Trump as he declared a national emergency at the border to try to gain funding for his proposed wall between the U.S. and Mexico.

What disrespect to Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. Some of These people just want to grandstand. They don’t want a solution, they just want to shame.
@Williams Williams ... the dems are the only ones that know how to behave, sryy, the hypocrisy inherent in this staement....
be grateful the rest of the world doesnt treat all americans like they are the same...
This woman and her agency are doing a great service to this country. Protecting the boarder is actually one of the few things the federal government is SUPPOSED to do.
...and I thought my meetings were bad! I don’t know how she stays so composed with some of the rudeness and questions that aren’t really helpful. She did well.
Mrs.Secretary is such a liar.
christine is a strong and patient woman, kudos to her for keeping her cool so long... i wouldnt have been able too
MR THOMSON - DID YOU FORGET YOUR BRAIN AT HOME BEFORE COMING TO THIS HEARING ?
Can Neilsen commend why in airport security can be achieved and not at the southern border, you have more people entering US through airport all over US than one southern border means the current administration failed, period
You understand at the airport everyone is funneled through checkpoints. With open borders illegals go Between checkpoints. That is why we need the wall to ensure people go through checkpoints, funneling the illegals to the border checkpoints where the border Patrol can apprehend and detain them.
😱
@Williams Williams all i know is this, i am different from you, but truth is different from lie
why the charade =parade of people in the background at 20:00 in using kids to get sympathy, or does it represent child smuggling??????
No im sorry
Te amo nilssen
Correct it and never allow or give anyone in Power to be allowed to even make that type of decision. There should always be someone in Over-Site of all operations.
and mrs. Silva I would tell you I would not interrupt you from taking the stand but the podium put where you selected or she said I'll do it wow
2:48:00 - whaaaa????
It is disingenous to suggest that there is no crisis at the Southern Border. Despite several Democrats in Congress previously stating that it is a crisis, the border remains porous. The broken immigration system, meaningless (politically fuelled) debates on fences/walls, catch and release and sanctuarry cities have done nothing to address the real issues. MANY of the questions put to Secretary Nielson during the hearing have done nothing to address the real issues. Clearly the Democrats have used the border sucurity issue to weaponise their endless attacks on the President - clearly their goal is 2020 as they evidence NO desire to do the job that they were elected to do - LEGISLATE!
I'm stuck with trump hand
And for the OVER SEERS. "Take Action" for those that's not Educated enough to make that type of Call or Decision.
so that's the kind of actors we have I'll do it no matter if he's chosen or not he decides for all of us but we did not decide as a little committee we decide what they decided to take me but he decided to pick himself
Should i stay here or go to 2020?
Imagine this you're going to go meet somebody andand being so close and blow no one knows his background he jumps the fence and doesn't well it doesn't follow the committee orders he makes his own decisions I would say he'll say something I'll do it
Torres small in not an American, we want to build the border wall.
I would say like this will Mr Silva this is Ray saucedo on behalf of the United States of America and Homeland security early detection security being private and public I welcome you but I have one question here what does your story have to do with the presentation at hand
Michigan representative. Please follow the law. Don’t change your stupid policies... we have a law in America
I don't care what side of the fence you're on, you have NO business separating kids from their parents, period!!
Most of the kids are NOT with the father or mother. Most of the kids are being used, raped and abused. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@J Donovan I said "PARENTS" idiot. They separate them from their PARENTS.
