Who is Kirstjen Nielsen??

She is the present Secretary of Homeland Security. She is in charge of the immigration policies now taking place at our border. But, she has been silent thru this entire disgraceful episode of our history.

Does she have a heart or a conscience? Evidently not. Otherwise, she would have spoken up or given her resignation, rather than be a part of this sorry mess.

By staying, she agrees to the policy. I don't hear any peeps out of her and she can get the attention of the media any time she wants. If she didn't agree, she could have brought it to the attention of the public first and then announce her resignations.

Nuff said.

The comparison is faulty -- UNLESS you imagine Nielsen as a reincarnation in today's world of Eva Braun.

I have been wondering about the timing of the cabinet meeting humiliation and the Sessions announcement changing the policy to active separating of children from parents. Both seemed to happen in early May.

If I recall, from reporting at the time, Trump suspected that she was a not sufficiently loyal. He was also perturbed about reporting by Fox News about a human caravan crossing through Mexico to the border.

Regardless - she is now actively enforcing - which is more than just complicit. I imagine if she has a soul it is now shriveled up.
