Joe Biden has named President Obama’s former top immigration adviser Cecilia Muñoz to his transition team. During her time in the White House, Muñoz often justified Obama’s harsh immigration enforcement policies, including the administration’s deportation of thousands of Central American children and its decision to kill an executive order that would have halted deportations. In 2011, Muñoz was interviewed by PBS’s Maria Hinojosa.

Cecilia Muñoz: “At the end of the day, when you have an immigration law that’s broken and you have a community of 10 million, 11 million people living and working in the United States illegally, some of these things are going to happen, even if the law is executed with perfection. There will be parents separated from their children. We don’t have to like it, but it is a result of having a broken system of laws. And the answer to that problem is reforming the law.”

1. Her idea seems to be the President must enforce the laws, even if they are broken.

But she acknowledges that they need to be fixed, and Congress is the body that does this. This is why we desperately need those 2 GA Senators. We need to fix the broken immigration laws in this country. Anyway, I found doing a quick read up on some interviews she's done was interesting.

2. That doesn't sound like a defense of family separations.

That sounds like advocacy to change those laws.

3. Rubbish and for shame! Obama's admin placed over 90,000 UNACCOMPANIED

children who swarmed the border with sponsors to care for them. The vast majority were teens, and a majority of the sponsors were parents or other relatives. But many good people offered their homes to the rest while their disposition was decided.

That they separated families like Trump is a long-disproven lie pushed ardently by both contemptibly unprincipled leftists and the trumpists their behaviors too often resemble.

Here's one of many links you could start with to confirm the truth. Also, any time a slur against Democrats draws comparisons with the evil the Republicans do, check it out because it's going to be, at very best, unacceptably misleading.

6. The scoundrels put the deceit in the headline, KNOWING

it'll be the takeaway for most people, because most do not read further. Despicable smear successfully delivered.

And everyone should note this is a farther-left medium, not Fox or Breitbart.

Grrrr!!!

7. it's what they do, point fingers

and it's all they do. It's not like they don't have plenty of time to flush things out.

8. Oh, they know. This deceit tactic is as old as written communication.

Those who troll for fools seemingly never run out of victims, as least they never stop.

Sigh.
