DHS Secretary Kristjen Nielsen Slams The Press For Misrepresenting The Facts

Half of the reason there’s such a contentious debate on illegal immigrant families? Because the majority of the people who are talking about this don’t know the facts. They hear a bunch of wimpy celebs say that we’re mistreating children and RIPPING families apart, and they roll with it.

Behold, an example of these lies:

I’m lucky. I got to hold this nugget in my arms. I still get to. Imagine you’re a mommy who can’t, because of this awful Trump policy at the border that rips children away from their families. THIS MUST STOP. pic.twitter.com/mt584HtdHj

DHS Secretary Kristjen Nielsen is sick of it. Here’s the TRUTH.

This misreporting by Members, press & advocacy groups must stop. It is irresponsible and unproductive. As I have said many times before, if you are seeking asylum for your family, there is no reason to break the law and illegally cross between ports of entry.

You are not breaking the law by seeking asylum at a port of entry.

For those seeking asylum at ports of entry, we have continued the policy from previous Administrations and will only separate if the child is in danger, there is no custodial relationship between 'family' members, or if the adult has broken a law.

This is nothing new.

DHS takes very seriously its duty to protect minors in our temporary custody from gangs, traffickers, criminals and abuse.

Of course, those facts don’t line up with the left’s lies, so they choose to ignore it.

There’s only one way to combat this. We need to aggressively spread the TRUTH. Yep. We need the same sense of urgency liberals have when they spread their lies.
