Neither she nor her party will vote for more funding to house and hold all these illegals coming across the border, yet she's upset at the conditions for their detention.
Of course what she wants is to just ignore immigration law and let anyone in the country that walks across, without detention or arrest or any legal status issues whatsoever.
And you know what? that's fine. All she has to do, being a member of Congress, is get Congress to pass a law saying that it's LEGAL, b/c right now Congressionally passed law says the Executive has to detain these people b/c it's currently ILLEGAL. Thus the term "illegal alien".
but they don't have the votes to do that, so their solution is to just let the system collapse through lack of funding. It's an end run around their own laws and the general will of the people to not have unquestioned open borders for anyone to walk across.
If the Democratic House doesn't like the conditions at the detention centers they can fix that problem. But they don't want it fixed, they want those conditions as bad as possible so they can argue against having any detention at all.
I'd say it's clever but any 7th grader should be able to see right through it.
