I can’t think of something more concerning than a law enforcement officer suggesting that their going to use their powers to affect an election!” Inspector General Horowitz on what was going on with numerous people regarding my election. A Rigged Witch Hunt!p

Inspector General Horowitz testified on Tuesday before the House oversight committee, it appears President Trump was referencing this exchange between Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-SC) and Inspector General Horowitz CSPAN
According to CSPAN’s transcription of the exchange Gowdy says, “I can’t think of anything more outcome determinative than my bias against this person I’m investigating.”
The two were speaking about the texts between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page.
Crime in Germany is up 10% plus (officials do not want to report these crimes) since migrants were accepted. Others countries are even worse. Be smart America!

Over the last few days President Trump and the Republicans have faced backlash over their newly established “Zero Tolerance,” policy which since implementation in April, has resulted in an estimated 2000 kids being separated from their parents at the border.
Democrats are the problem. They don’t care about crime and want illegal immigrants, no matter how bad they may be, to pour into and infest our Country, like MS-13. They can’t win on their terrible policies, so they view them as potential voters!

Twitter has zoned in on the word “Infested.”
Trump uses the word “INFEST” to describe immigrants.
THIS IS DEHUMANIZATION.
This is PRECISELY the verb Hitler used to describe Jews. https://t.co/bYCzYDSEzU

"Infest." The "president" has infested this country with hate & allowed racists & low travelers sunlight. We will not rest until the Trump Infestation is dispatched.

“Infest.” Trump’s dehumanizing language continues—as it always does—by lumping nonviolent illegal immigrants in with violent gangs. https://t.co/qqfAS7pJAp

We must always arrest people coming into our Country illegally. Of the 12,000 children, 10,000 are being sent by their parents on a very dangerous trip, and only 2000 are with their parents, many of whom have tried to enter our Country illegally on numerous occasions.

The Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen held a press conference on Monday, during which she stated
“So I want to be clear on a couple of other things. The vast majority, vast, vast majority of children who are in the care of H.H.S. right now — 10,000 of the 12,000 — were sent here alone by their parents. That is when they were separated. So somehow we’ve conflated everything. But there is two separate issues. 10,000 of those currently in custody were sent by their parents with strangers to undertake a completely dangerous and deadly travel alone. We now care for them. We have high standards. We give them meals, we give them education, we give them medical care. There is videos, there is TVs, I visited the detention centers myself — that would be my answer to that question.”
*I found no report at DHS’s website to confirm her numbers.*
#CHANGETHELAWS Now is the best opportunity ever for Congress to change the ridiculous and obsolete laws on immigration. Get it done, always keeping in mind that we must have strong border security.

Members of the House are set to vote on two immigration bills, one introduced by Rep Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) and the other more moderate bill, via Politico, that was released in draft form on Thursday.
Senators Feinstein (D-CA) and Cruz (R-TX) have both introduced separate bills that would halt family separations at the border
