Jeh Johnson Admits Obama Admin Expanded Detention Centers
Quote:Jeh Johnson, a former DHS secretary under President Obama, admitted this week on NBC News that the administration expanded child detention centers.
Johnson: "Correct. Lesson learned. Illegal migration reacts sharply to perceived changes in enforcement policy-- in the short term-- but it always reverts back longer term to the longer term trends given the underlying condition of the so-called push factors in central America. So that is what President Trump and his administration have seen now over the last year. The numbers are 40 or 50,000 per month and they are obviously very frustrated with that.So in 2014 - to deal with the spike then with the families - we did a number of things; including by the way, working with the government of Mexico and obtaining their cooperation on securing their southern border, uh, but we also expanded family detention, which was, I freely admit, controversial."
Andrea Mitchell: "And you got a lot of heat for it."
Jeh Johnson: "We got a lot of heat for it. There were just 95 beds out of a total of 34,000 equipped to handle families. We expanded that capability.I will freely admit that I made a big deal out of it so people could see what we were doing."

Jimmy was pretty bad.
Not as bad as Hussein. Top to bottom, the most incompetent administration ever. They were a sham.
Obumble was worse, easy. Carter's was largely incompetent. Not only was Obumble's incompetent, they weaponized multiple agencies against American citizens in a effort to do whatever they pleased. Corrupt Chicago style politics in a national level.
