    Nielsen argued that a 314% increase in accused smugglers at the border necessitated separating parents from children. DHS gave me hard numbers: After the increase, 0.61% of families from October through February included alleged smugglers.https://wapo.st/2yp1kXK

        Philip Bump Retweeted The White House 45 Archived

        The White House liked Nielsen's comment on that 314% so much that it tweeted it out. It was the main rationale Nielsen offered for the need to separate children from parents (and the primary rationale Sessions offered when he announced the policy).https://twitter.com/WhiteHouse/status/1008852109582839808 …

        The net effect is that the equivalent of 6 out of 1,000 families being identified as not actually being related (though not necessarily as criminals) is why Nielsen says the zero-tolerance policy is necessary. https://wapo.st/2yp1kXK pic.twitter.com/ZwUtOZvjq2

        Thanks for checking into this. I was wondering what the actual numbers were, not just the increase.

        ARG! I was screaming at my TV during that presser: Ask "how many individuals?"

        So they are adding smugglers to their list of reasons now. She is so disgusting.

        It's like their MS13 racist propanda. Over 99% of criminal deportations have no connection with MS13.
