      Thompson says info Nielsen submitted to Congress today reflects ‘misinformation and outright lies’ used to justify the ‘boondoggle border wall, defend the govt shutdown, and distract the American people from a border policy so flawed that children have died’ in DHS’s custody

          Nielsen joins Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross as one of the initial targets of House Dems’ new oversight capabilities. Democrats leading House Cmte on Oversight allege Ross gave misleading testimony to Congress about a decision to add a question about citizenship to 2020 Census

          Shouldn’t we ask what analysis was done to validate this (wall) approach above others?Why is everyone skipping to being a war of wills-absent a discussion of merits?Cynics accept the risk is overblown,but let’s start w facts..there is no accountability in administration on this..

          Yet it is their ineptitude in neglecting immigration reform for Decades.(Congress) Both children that Died did so in a Sudden, Rapid series of conditions, often associated with Deadly Pathogens. What may they be bringing with them?😮

          I hope they ask her hard questions and don't let her off when she claims ignorance. "Call someone right now and get it!" I want to know how many kids have been separated, where they are, how many molested, hospitalized, where are their parents and how many have been orphaned!
