House Homeland Security Committee chairman asks Nielsen to testify on ‘flawed’ border agenda

Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), the new chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen Friday requesting her to testify in front of the committee regarding the Trump administration’s border security agenda.

“As chairman, I intend to ensure the Committee on Homeland Security fulfills its constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight of your Department, including its implementation of President Trump’s border policy. In your year-long tenure, you have testified before the Committee only once. Another appearance is overdue,” Thompson wrote.

“The Committee’s first hearing will focus on critical border security matters, to include the border wall, metering of individuals seeking asylum at ports of entry, and the treatment of children in U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) custody. As such, I request your participation.”

Thompson ripped a presentation Nielsen submitted to Congress Friday defending the Trump administration’s immigration and border policies.

“Your border security presentation submitted to Congress today is yet another example of the misinformation and outright lies the Trump Administration has used to make the case for the President’s boondoggle border wall, defend the government shutdown, and distract the American people from a border policy so flawed that children have died in Department of Homeland Security custody,” he wrote.

If Sec. Neilsen is even allowed to speak during the committee meeting, rather than listening to Democrats bloviate during their entire time rather than asking questions, they might really not like the answers they are given. Thompson should remember that Republicans also sit on the committee, and will be able to ask questions that will allow Neilsen to provide information and facts and figures that Democrats will not like.

Of course, Neilsen testified before a House committee just two weeks ago, and has been speaking with Senators and Representatives in leadership positions over the last few weeks. One was Nancy Pelosi, who lives in Alternate Facts World

At one point during the meeting (on Wednesday), according to the Wall Street Journal, Pelosi interrupted Nielsen, who was citing statistics related to the border, including how many criminal illegal immigrants attempted to enter the U.S. last year.

“I reject your facts,” Pelosi told Nielsen

“These aren’t my facts,” Nielsen shot back. “These are the facts.”

Following the episode, Nielsen went to social media to criticize Pelosi and the Democrats for not wanting to hear about the issue of illegal immigration.

“I am disappointed that Dems did not want to hear from @DHSgov about the security & humanitarian crisis we are facing at the border,” Nielsen wrote. “They didn’t want to hear about criminal aliens, drug smugglers, smuggled & abused children or violent caravans trying to breach the border wall.”

What Democrats want, besides open borders, and they can all yammer on about how that’s not true, they just want “smart border security”, which is really just open borders but we get to watch on video as the illegals enter, is for Trump and the GOP to agree to the deal Dems passed in the House, which includes a lot more money for all things Leftist, such as more money for overseas abortions, and open the government. They pinkie swear that they’ll negotiate on border security after the government is open. We’re still waiting for the security from the amnesty Reagan agreed to.
