[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Congress controls the purse strings. The House is Democrat majority. Democrats own this just as much as Republicans.

The president doesn't control the purse strings.

Maybe a refresher on 3rd grade civics are in order for some of you[/quote]

GOP held the purse strings for 2 years. If they cared so much they should have done something.

Why complain about Ds when your own party DGAF?

The crisis wasn't 2 years ago. It's now after building for months and officials warning congress this would happen[/quote]

It was a “crisis” a year ago when the GOP still had the house and the senate.

WHAT WAS SAID
“[b]What the president reiterated again yesterday, and he has said every day from when he sought this office, is we have a crisis of illegal immigration.[/b]”
— Vice President Mike Pence, meeting with members of Congress on Wednesday.

“These smugglers know these rules and regulations better than the people that drew them. As a result, there’s been a 325 percent increase in minors, and a 435 percent increase in the smuggling or attempted smuggling of families and minors into our country.”
— President Trump, speaking to the National Federation of Independent Businesses on Tuesday.

“In the last three months we've seen illegal immigration on our southern border exceed 50,000 people each month. Multiples over each month last year.”  
— Kirstjen Nielsen, the homeland security secretary, at a news conference on Monday.[/i]
