Feinstein’s Immigration Hypocrisy Exposed

The Democrats have opposed and obstructed President Trump as he tries to fix the immigration issue in America. One of the biggest opponents is Senator Diane Feinstein but her hypocrisy on the issue is being exposed.

According to The Daily Caller:

Democratic California Sen. Dianne Feinstein encouraged then-President Barack Obama to use the “very broad power” granted to him by Congress to limit immigration in any way he saw fit, according to a letter obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.

Feinstein sent the letter to Obama in July 2014, in the midst of an unprecedented surge in illegal immigration by family units and unaccompanied minors, mostly from Central America, across the southwest border.

In her note, Feinstein referred to Section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which grants the president the authority to “suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.”

The statute gave Obama wide latitude to issue new regulations concerning the entry and detention of migrants, Feinstein wrote, including limiting deportation appeal rights and keeping children in the custody of immigration authorities rather than transferring them to the Department of Health and Human Services.

Feinstein has been a major critic of President Trump’s immigration policies, but it looks like the Senator from California might share some of the same views as the president.
