Nancy Pelosi might be one of the biggest hypocrites in the House of Representatives. She continuously says things that are politically expedient at the time.
The border crisis has produced just another example of her hypocrisy. Her view of family separations completely changed because the President was no longer a member of her party.
According to The Daily Wire:
Once again, the House Democrats’ outspoken leader’s past statements have come back to haunt her. In some remarks from back in 2014 that have resurfaced amid the Democrats’ hypocritical hysteria over the Trump administration’s handling of illegal immigrant families, Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi struck a remarkably different tone about children detained by the Obama administration than she has about the Trump administration’s handling of the situation.
In another case of “you just can’t make this stuff up” (see the fake news “child separated from mother” photo for another example), Pelosi told the press on June 28, 2014, after visiting a jam-packed illegal immigrant detention center, that what “some view as a crisis,” she viewed as “an opportunity” to continue to show our humanity. Rather than “politicizing” the situation and decrying the state of the detained children, as she and her colleagues have done in increasingly extreme terms over the last week, she said what she witnessed at the detention center was “dazzling.”
“What we just saw was so stunning,” she said. “If you believe, as we do, that every child, every person, has a spark of divinity in them and is therefore worthy of respect, what we saw in those rooms was dazzling – a sparkling array of God’s children, worthy of respect. So we have to use, as was said this morning, the crisis that some view as a crisis – and it does have crisis qualities – as an opportunity to show who we are as Americans: that we do respect people for their dignity and their worth; that we know how to get the job done, that relates to, again stopping trafficking. Because that’s one of the fundamentals that will reinforce the law.”
“We have the law that established the Department of Homeland Security. We have the Flores decision. So the balance that we’re trying to create is to move these kids, these young people, these families as quickly as possible into another setting. We have to do it in a way that meets certain standards – and not, in our rush, not do the best we can for them,” she said.

It is sad that this crisis is turned into a political stunt to bring emotion into the equation. Real solutions are needed to our immigration laws, and it just so happens Pelosi works for the people in a capacity that she can do just that.
