The Homeland Security secretary is asking employees to volunteer to assist at the southern border

Washington Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen sent a letter earlier this week asking DHS employees to volunteer to assist with the southern border mission.

"The situation at our Southern Border is dire," wrote the secretary, adding that Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement are"not equipped" to deal with the current migrant surge. The secretary's request, which was sent to agency leaders, included a need for volunteers to assist with transportation, food distribution, medical assessments and"hospital watch.

They 're either emoloyees or volunteers ...

😂😂😂😂😂

Wonder when she is actually going down and helping out to see for herself what it is like being caged under freeway overpass.

Seems like they could've asked for funding to hire personnel instead of build a wall, and democrats might have been on board. I sure would have.

She can always ask the special Olympic athletes to volunteer?

There is volumes wrong on this. Employees who suffered through a shutdown with delayed pay are to volunteer to work?

I will volunteer. Ltc. retired Wayne Killough.

realDonaldTrump POTUS power back to the people against: freemasons globalism openborders retain souveranity global greatawakening censorship will fail together we are strong patriots united Youarewhatmatters. DraintheSwamp. Send all Traitors to GITMO

She has to be the absolute worst manager/secretary ever. You have to pay people to fix your mess lady.

Good development

No. Pay them! Take it out of Trump's weekend golf trips!

Sorry, have tp pick up dog dodo!

Hey the world icon Take care of your healtj

😂😂😂

...workers have the power...they should say no...it's completely insane that people think it's ok to ask others to work for free...

Feeling the pinch of your boss. Why would your employees volunteer at the border. You and your boss created this debacle. Are you working at the border?

... and in the mean time the REAL NEWS are not reported ANYWHERE on CORPORATE OWNED American mainstream media

Good lord!

Why not just hire cheap illegal immigrants.

Uh, I'm a no.

I would say no, u & traitor Trump volunteer. They need to lock Nielsen racist Jim Crow KKK Nazi in a dress butt up. They really don't believe that this SHIT of mistreating immigrants are coming up again sooner than what Nielsen & traitor Trump thinks. KARMA is a monster.

Send your boss to stand at the wall at least He might do some work that is worth his pay. You and your cronies stayed this mess. 'If you don't like the effect don't create the cause' you earned it. It's you'll do anything to win that's your mo. Did you not think you'd get caught.

The attention that's been given to the 'refugees' crossing the border is contributing to the influx. It's like a 'self-fulfilling prophecy '! The entire world is watching.

She does him...

Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary close the border. Sorry CNN we win traitor

I believe sincere ideas could have fixed this problem before it became this bad, at first it was all a publicity stunt to get attention & maybe it has gone array now.

Hahaha, yeah no thanks sweety!

Lmao

Who in their right mind would ask professionals to do this evil work for free? Delusional!

Will Trumps sons, Kushner, or any other family members be in attendance? Gotta lead by example.

Volunteer 🤒

All Republicans should show up down there.

Now the rich dont even want to pay the people to protect their borders.

Is Neilson talking about unpaid government employees?

Now when the DHS secretary under Obama calls the current situation a crisis when will CNN?

Corrosive

No!

SecNielsen realDonaldTrump...you first

Is that Trumps Bitch. He must have something on her too. Same as all the other Senators how went to Mar-a-lago and met very, very, very friendly women. Who now are Trump boys.

Should build a wall

BREAKING:

This eight years trump will be a black period in the history books

Employees who haven't had a cola raise in 10 yrs and had their pay cut, froze and held up in a shutdown. Yeah, volunteer ...

I’ll volunteer! I’ll even bring concrete with me!!

Next they’ll be drafting people -

Bull shit

CNN loves the EBT McRibs free foodstamps and welfare receiptants Democratic Party card handouts for the illegal immigrants so they can vote for the Democratic Party Crooks and Socialist Pigs

BS

🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

That’s funny, she’s asking for volunteers for ICE when agencies like HSI is asking to separate from ICE.

Why

Volunteer Is she going to volunteer too and stand beside them

We don’t need volunteers if just shoot the rats and the diseased pest at the border then they will go back to the s$* hole they came from and die there the world will be a better place

I think anyone who supports open borders should sign up to sponsor a family or two at your home and see how fast their opinion changes

...real men of genius

is she crying? Did he grab her by the p....?

A descendant of Nazism.

Frau Blücher!

What a nutter. Wasn't the shutdown enough working without pay for them

Why worry about it? The wall will take care of it, and it better all those billion dollars spend on the wall better work

Plenty of us will go down to help...we cannot allow people to come in to our country this way any longer...President Trump allowed more LEGAL Immigrants than Obama in 2018...he's very compassionate!!! don't believe the lies from fake news...that is a FACT...Stop Corruption!

F u

So sad!

Assist. At. The. Border. As guards? Laying out fencing? Lobbing grenades?

Trump administration appears ill prepared for governing of any kind

CNN continues to peddle false narratives about border crossing ...WTF

Just tie that Nazi b/75$h to the wall in the sun with no sunscreen and no water. That would work just fine.

Let’s see her and the trump family all get out their first! Why does she expect others to volunteer anything?! When was the last time she did something for free? They are outrageous!

she must have a good cry every day before, during, and after work

She seems like a nice lady.... THEN there is this face.... yeaa... not going to cross that..

SEND TRUMP, PENCE, and SARAH SANDERS!

BAHAHAHAHA

Trumps family can go first

You lig seem to be predictjng the future. There could be an amazing outcome to this and about 40 tweeters above me here would be looking a tad stupid. Remember Russia-gate?

She can go to the border herself and pound sand.

Hopefully they are saying NO!!!

Mr President, such a big power, all modern day techniques, respurced at yr disposal, it's baby's play, one strategy is outsource for vrpwd funding to meet wall building fineness cisp tarhrys, very easy, and let's take Poland, yr new staunch all CONTD

Perhaps Pelosi & Schumer could lead that volunteer effort?!!!! SpeakerPelosi

Start with yourself ..... sheesh!

Boy does she have some gall

washingtonpost nytimes maddow NicolleDWallace wolfblitzer SecNielsen Can anyone believe that Secretary Nielsen is asking for employees to volunteer and help at the boarder. My answer to her would be Donald Trump and you created this mess you figure it out.

I'll do it

STUPID !

She has the right to ask that we can not people keep illegally crossing the Border.

Uh...does she mean unpaid volunteers?

No crisis though SenSchumer SpeakerPelosi

Trump will get this done. He’s not just talking like every other candidate since the 70s has done.

Start with herself.

I will volunteer Donald J Trump to help at the boarder because he won't volunteer himself. He said something about heel spurs.....

Deficit, no money in the us tresuary.

How many will lose their jobs if they don't, hmmm? realDonaldTrump, let's see your stupidity at work when millions of workers are affected, and the businesses that survive along the border are threatened. Let's just watch your voter base sink to ZERO! CloseTheBorderNow? STUPID

Homeland Security secretary just needs to ask patriots to volunteer to assist at the southern border and we will respond in the thousands!!!

SecNielsen 'assist' without pay is breaking labour laws!

Big brass balls...

Neo nazi poster girl.

Volunteer, you mean Socialism. That is really something. The GOP.

There’s an emergency, her and Don should be there until it’s over. Riding with agents.

I love cnn has no cameras or live reporting from the border

Instead of volunteers, maybe some cheap labor. If only there was a source for that. Ah well

Great. That’ll bring the Y’allQuqada douchebags out in full force. I’m sure innocent people won’t be shot on a daily basis...

Volunteer? How about sending qualified counselors and child care persons

She’s asking militia groups to go to the border and kill innocent people seeking a better life. This is wrong on so many levels.

The Korean War was a proxy war for all of World War III.

Trump & the GOP should have never given corporations and the rich such a huge tax cut. The government is short on revenue to take care of essential services. This is trump’s fault.

make America great wall AGAIN.

Yeah, you wouldn’t want to pay them. Have to save money for your wall that you said Mexico was going to pay for.

She can ask for volunteers from 'the cages'. Some of them would probably jump at a chance for 3 squares, your own bed and something to do to help.

Sanctuary!!

I’m getting the impression Soros is winning.

HaHaHaHa!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 and so on and so on!

The BBC was ordered to pay damages after the far-left outlet published fake news claiming Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko “authorized” an illegal payment of $400,000 to Michael Cohen for additional face time during a June 2017 meeting with President Trump.

How about she go down there and work!

You just stole 8 B - use that money twinkle toes

What happened to Russian collusion. Daaaaa. What a joke for 2 years FAKE NEWS

That blurry orange faced boy should volunteer

Madam secretary you first

How does it feel to be a houses ass. FakeNews.

Close the Border!!!!!

There is no bottom where this administration is concerned!

How about all of the SJW and Dem politicians that say there is no crisis at the border? Let them see for themselves!

Turn 'em in to nazi slaves. Wonderful.

Article iv section 4 says we can And8 shoudo

LOL LOL LOL

absolute proof right here the Democrats are not doing their job

Hysterical

Just say NO!

Lock her up. I’m not at all sorry for saying that . She is a kidnapper, a rascist and she should be charged as the criminal she is.

You going to stack you employees like a wall.n they don't you will fire them

this administration is absolutely disgraceful. 'Asking for volunteers' to shut down a national border. Loss for words. TrumpsDemise

why doesn't she go?

This has to be 'Fake' news... Right?...

POTUS and DHS continue to violate the Anti-Deficiency Act. Pitiful. OMBPress USGAO

I was coming back from Puerto Penasco last weekend, entering through the Lukeville port of entry. 4 hours to get through the border. It used to take 30 minutes or less. There's hundreds of people just standing in the streets asking for money. It's ridiculous.

Trump has never volunteered in his life.

SecNielsen is a white supremacist & genocidal racist whose goal is genocide. She should end up in a nice little cell in the Hague, if there's any justice in the world, which of course there isn't

The eyes of a woman with her eyes on the calendar and a resume in her purse.

Didnt they already 'volunteer' their time in January?

I rather have homeland security work on protecting our country from Russian interference and white-supremacist terrorism.
