You are killing our kids. Little kids 6 and 8 years old.

MalcolmNance Why the frick is there even a figure?

TomShafShafer I guess that says it all!

Prolifemyass.

Probably not many.

There would be 0 deaths if they had not come here illegally.

MalcolmNance He's a better man than I am for his restraint.

I hope these trump stooges end up in The Hague

BuildTheDamnWallAlready stop blaming Americans when people die after being dragged across country sick and weak.

What about previous administrations?

She continued, “It’s a work in progress.”

Who really cares. They should not have come over here anyway

MalcolmNance I want the CBP officers on video from a few years ago destroying water for migrants standing at attention before congress explaining exactly who ordered their actions? Expose the Culture of Cruelty CBP DHSgov and ICEgov

MalcolmNance Even one death is abhorrent. That she doesn’t have a figure is criminal. There is duty of care when someone is taken into custody.

MalcolmNance To the administrators of DHS, their charges are not seen as human beings. Think Gestapo.

MalcolmNance To the GOP, lives don't matter, unless they're unborn.

Is this to include the Obama years?

I don't believe her. This administration is the kind to pay her a bonus for each dead migrant. (Am I being sarcastic? Not sure anymore.)

Probably doesn’t have an exact figure because she doesn’t have an exact idea what she is doing. More likely though, she doesn’t care about what happens to the Trumpian hostages.

IBennyali The figure is probably so small it’s not briefed to someone at her level in the organization. To post this inflamitory headline, & imply countless people die in DHS custody is bad journalism. it’s how the whole “fake news” thing started Biased reporting and inflammatory headlines

Its not about the few that have died like that little girl last week !!! The question should be, 'HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE THEY SAVED' from death after they did these border crossing !!!!!

MalcolmNance She should go...unqualified Secretary and leader of any department in government

If she’d given a number and it wasn’t correct she’d be “lying”. I get it.

That big beautiful wall is coming.

MalcolmNance she really doesn't care

MalcolmNance She is souless

MalcolmNance Neilsen need to go to prison

so?

.SecNielsen is a monster. Her mentality comports perfectly w/ Nazi-era thugs who also had disdain for human life & accepted cruelty & death w/ the blase air of heartless bureaucrats who killed w/ impunity and glee. She needs to face Nuremberg-style justice when this is over. B.

How does one use “exact number” when one is talking about death?! Can one be only partially dead?! Or can one mis-categorize a dead (or alive) person?! Remove this woman from power! Hide her whip & spurs or whatever it is that is her charm!!!

MalcolmNance Its been 2 days since she said this. Still no effing idea how many DEAD.....

MalcolmNance She is a monstrous human being.

MalcolmNance how can SecNielsen NOT have an exact figure? because more were dying as she spoke?

MalcolmNance Shouldn't that information be of paramount importance for the Department of Homeland Security?

MalcolmNance What SecNielsen really wanted to say was 'I don't care, do u?'

I can guarantee you those who died were sick or infected long before they reached the border! They were just hoping to get across to get 'free' medical before being deported again and again! Almost like people on death row getting sex changes, just plain stupidity!

MalcolmNance Nielsen also did not know the number of points of entry into the U.S. Not qualified, underprepared, incompetent. NoWall

MalcolmNance I have the words, but they're not fit for civilized society.

She needs to be charged with crimes against humanity.

Ask Rep Cicciline if he knows how many Americans were killed by illegal immigrants

MalcolmNance That she doesn’t know this information confirms that she doesn’t care.

Well she should, it is her job to know.

They don’t care how many people got shot to death in Chicago every year, they don’t care how many us citizens got killed by illegal immigrants, that just care how many people died in DHS custody,and those people are illegal, cost us billions of dollars, what’s the HELL going on?

She should count the notches on her phone. She’s too proud of the suffering she’s inflicted not to have kept a record.

the fact that there even is a figure to be had is disgusting in itself

There's a way to ask a question with respect. This guy talked over her and asked the question in a derogatory manner. Someone should teach him proper manners and the correct way to challenge a given response. I'll bet he doesn't like being spoken to in this manner.

BuildThatWall

Too bad democrats don’t care about how many blacks are dying in Chicago as much as they care about illegals trying to illegally cross the border.

She ought to be arrested

Fire Nielsen. His inability to know shows he has no compassion and frankly holds no-one accountable in his agency. Just like his boss Donald the racist trump.

Hmm, maybe Rick Perry can help. The Department of Energy?

MORE THAN ONE LESS THAN I'LL TELL YOU.

SecNielsen for ALL her incompetence, should be Fired, just like Her Mentor, General Kelly end of December! Make it a joint firing, They both deserve to be Sh’tcanned anyway!

How many people died under Obummer presidency?

That man is so disrespectful and seething with hate. I’ll pray for him. MAGA

FakeNews

Why didn't the a**hat congressperson have the answer?

TRY ASKING THE DEMS HOW MANY CITIZENS HAVE DIED FROM ILLEGAL ALIENS! I bet they don't have an 'exact number' either. Morons.

I’ve never stopped believing in a hell because of people like Trump and those he puts in power like Nielsen.

Neither did precious administrations. What a dumb headline

Then get one. And take responsibility.

The fact that there is a figure is disturbing enough!

Analysis | Kirstjen Nielsen’s illogical tweetstorm about terrorists at the borderIn an attempt to salvage a talking point for Trump, the DHS secretary goes all-in. there comes a point where the people in this administration have a choice to resign with dignity, or say fuck it and go all in. Ms Nielsen has done the latter. The woman is a psychopath without empathy so technically I guess that would make her a sociopath as well She needs to resign
