Boy, bet she never thought this job would ruin her career and reputation for life when she threw her hat in the ring. Here comes another tell all book lol

[SirMonteCarlo]

She must always be remembered for the family separation cruelty.

[digeorgesiphone]

Kristjen Nielsen sold her soul for Trump and now she steps out, but her twisted legacy of cruelty will always be remembered: The lady how enforced family separations.

[gordonadams]

The bodies pile up in this administration yet more line up. Crazy.

[Docmanman]

Does Fox have enough chairs for these people coming for a job???

[georgittesingbiel]

Watch your back, Betsy DeVos. You could be next!

[whirlwindcochran]

When you don't follow the Norms with refugees and you have a pile up at the border. you're going to end up with a crisis of your own making and we are seeing the fruits of his labor come true.

Studies have found that in western countries where birth rate numbers are falling, like America’s, immigration helps the economy. Studies also show communities in America with high immigrants have lower crime rates. So what’s the problem? Oh, as trump has stated before he’d prefer if they came from places like Sweden. This is all about race.

[GeorgeKafantaris]

Forget Trump and Fox News. The United States is still a Christian country and we do not separate families. And we should never do it as a matter of policy. Never.

[WiseFidelista]

Americans act like is hard but is easy just force your Government to stop giving military aid to dictators in Latin America and the world so these migrants can stay home or go back home..I can't wait for Puerto Rico Independence so I can move back home and feel proud and feel safe. #HandsOffVenezuela

Kristjen is the worst secretary of homeland security.

Another rat leaving the sinking ship...

[OasisJK]

She looks so aged. Probably from the stress of working for in the Trump administration.

[joansnow]

Less than a year an half! Gail you cracked me up, LOL. That’s a lifetime for this administration.

On a side note: Now that she's resigned I suggest that we LOCK HER UP!

Wow she looks worn out. Notice how she also just called him sir at the border. She was done.

[AudiobookLibrary-]

It is dishonest to make a slide at the beginning with the lower February immigration numbers, then bury the higher numbers for March in the story.

[superstar]

I find it very strange that Hillary has not commented on this abrupt departure.surely as tough as Nielsen was, I can't imagine what could be more extreme and zero tolerance than separating families, I m sorry, but if that were me coming to the border with my kids, and the bop officer is telling me that either the family is separated or go back, I would be going back, it's a no brained if you really love your family, no way am I putting my life in the hands of a foreign government, because who knows how the law will change, and who can guarantee that it will be to my advantage? These migrants have no family values!, as for Nielsen, it's a case of damned if you do damned if you don't.she was following trump s instructions but even she has her limits which is exactly why she is ousted.its a dirty job but somebody's gotta do it, and in a way this fiasco reminds me a lot of Fidel Castro reigning in Cuba, trump is very similar to Castro, but Castro did not delegate his dirty work to others that much, he had no problem doing the dirt by himself, even if everybody hated him for it, Nielsen was one of trumps delegates, so now somebody else will be doing whatever she was not willing to do, it's actually very logical, if you consider what has been happening until now and how extreme things have been, nothing that trump does surprises me, he s been systematic in his proceedings, and as abrupt as he is about every aspect of immigration and the border, you could have literally seen this coming, and its only the beginning of other things to come, the Bible talks about these things, like I said, not surprising
