DHS Secretary Nearly Resigns After Trump SCREAMS At Her

"President Trump berated Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen in a dispiriting Cabinet meeting on immigration Wednesday, according to three administration officials, but her colleagues denied reports that she has threatened to quit.

Trump lashed out at his Cabinet, and Nielsen in particular, when told that the number of people arrested for illegally crossing the Mexico border topped 50,000 for the second consecutive month. The blowup lasted more than 30 minutes, according to a person with knowledge of what transpired, as Trump’s face reddened and he raised his voice, saying Nielsen needed to “close down” the border.

“Why don’t you have solutions? How is this still happening?” he said, adding later, “We need to shut it down. We’re closed.””*

I can't feel sorry for her. She lied during her confirmation hearing and she knew the type of person she was working for. He will berate her again and again. Sessions threw her under the bus to get some pressure off of him. Kelly is a jerk and needs to leave with the rest of them.

Ana you are absolutely right regarding the children. State social service agencies are stretched to the limit dealing with children who have been reported to child services due to abuse and neglect and now border state social service agencies might have to deal with children separated from parents at the border? Agencies have a hard enough time recruiting foster homes for kids in danger of abuse/neglect right now. These people fleeing for safety? How awful.

[PsychoticusRex]

She's working for and with Trump; now she's acting like she's got integrity?

[jamesr.]

If she doesn't want to separate families than just don't do it!! Simple, sensible, and compassionate.

Couldn't separating mother and children be considered cruel and unusual punishment? 8th Amendment

These are people seeking asylum. We took the boats from Haiti. We took the refugees from Cuba.
Let’s look at least at the situation these poor people find themselves in as they run away from gang
violence and poverty.

*I don't get it??? literally, truckloads of MDMA cross the border from Canada? why does he constantly pick on Mexico?? where is the talk of a Northern border wall??*

Trump has about as much business yelling at any of these government officials, (who have actually been serving in government roles since Trump had real hair, and was sleeping around on his first 2 wives) as a random person has to walk into a college lecture and ask the professor to step aside, and start yelling at everyone.

[DougGrinbergs]

Wondering if anyone – male or female - has the courage to yell back at moron/45 and shut him up.

Farming season is starting...hasn't anyone in "special needs Donny's" orbit informed him of this?

She stayed cuz she liked it. Any woman with an ounce of self respect would have quit.

If Trump’s policies on immigration had been implemented when I was in grade school, I wouldn’t have met many of my friends in school. It’s scary to think I might not have known many of my dear friends in high school because they would have been never gotten into this country.

Keeping a child in infinite detention may qualify as 'cruel and unusual punishment'.

Kirstjen, I’m outta here, Nielsen. Leaving while her dignity is still in tact!!
