Back in 2014, there was a surge in illegal immigration – especially unaccompanied minors. Smugglers convinced thousands of downtrodden Central Americans that the Obama administration’s new DACA policy was tantamount to a free pass.
At the height of the crisis, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi traveled to an immigrant detention facility overflowing with child migrants.

During a Q&A that followed, Pelosi was asked whether the humanitarian crisis was being “politicized.” “Well, I hope that while some may have tried to politicize it, I hope that was not the case,” Pelosi said. Responding to a question about border security, Pelosi added, “I’m not going to take any bait on what one partisan said or the other.” “Why don’t we just put all that aside and talk about what we’re going to do to help these children and families,” she said.
“So again, people will say this and that,” Pelosi said. “The fact is, the reality is: the children are there and we need to address the problem. It breaks your heart to waste one ounce of energy on anything other than just addressing the problem.”
Bottom line: let’s fix this problem and not turn it into a political death match for unprincipled ideologues, like Nancy.
