Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) told CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday that the reason why she wasn’t as outspoken about the treatment of illegal children during the Obama administration as she has been during the Trump administration was because she didn’t know enough about it.
Feinstein introduced a bill last week to stop the separation of illegal immigrant children and their parents as they cross the U.S. border. “A lot of Democrats are expressing outrage about how Trump is treating undocumented immigrants. We saw this photo making the rounds on social media, Los Angeles Mayor, former Mayor Villaraigosa tweeted it out. It is actually from -- it is undocumented children in a holding cell, but it is actually from 2014, when President Obama was president,” CNN’s Jake Tapper said.
“There were a lot of things done to undocumented immigrants that the immigration -- the immigrant community was very upset about during the Obama years that Democrats didn't seem as outspoken about. What do you say to people who say, where was all this activism during the Obama years?” Tapper asked.
“I don't believe that it was nearly to the extent that it is today. And, candidly, I didn't really know enough about it at that time to focus on it. I do know enough about it now. We have had a hearing in the Judiciary Committee. We did have testimony,” Feinstein said.
Chuck Schumer - AGAINST Illegal Immigration in 2009
Quote:Sen. Schumer - We must encourage the world’s best and brightest individuals to come to the United States and create the new technologies and businesses that will employ countless American workers, but must discourage businesses from using our immigration laws as a means to obtain temporary and less-expensive foreign labor to replace capable American workers.
Quote:Sen. Schumer - Illegal immigration is wrong, and a primary goal of comprehensive immigration reform must be to dramatically curtail future illegal immigration.
Quote:Sen. Schumer - Operational control of our borders--through significant additional increases in infrastructure, technology, and border personnel--must be achieved within a year of enactment of legislation.
Quote:Sen. Schumer - A biometric-based employer verification system—with tough enforcement and auditing—is necessary to significantly diminish the job magnet that attracts illegal aliens to the United States and to provide certainty and simplicity for employers.

RE: The day America becomes the welfare system for Mexico......IS GONE
lol....I wished they would ask her why that policy is in place. It is the result of a 9th Circuit Court order from a California case that MANDATES that kids of parents accused of a felony cannot be held in an adult detainment facility. The Libs literally did this to themselves. In other words---no elected officials ever voted for this. A radically liberal unelected court well known for wild eyed judicial activism is solely responsible.
