Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.) said Sunday that while former President Barack Obama was in office, she was not well enough aware of the mistreatment undocumented immigrants faced, saying she has since learned more about the issue.
CNN's Jake Tapper mentioned to Feinstein a recent viral photo of undocumented children in a holding cell that was tweeted out by former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa (D.). The photo was shared by many who attempted to condemn the Trump administration's actions at the southern U.S. border.
The issue with the photo going viral for that reason is it was taken in 2014 while Obama was in office.
"There were a lot of things done to undocumented immigrants that the immigrant community was very upset about during the Obama years, that Democrats didn't seem as outspoken about," Tapper said.
"What do you say to people who are saying, ‘where was all this activism during the Obama years?'" he asked.
"I don't believe that it was nearly to the extent that it is today. And candidly, I didn't really know enough about it at that time to focus on it," Feinstein said.

This shows how the Mediacracy ran (and attempts to run) the country by picking what issues are important, what politicians focus on, and what are scandals and what are not.
I agree, they should have been deported.
And all immigrants who take their side over lawful immigrants can go with them!
J As for Feinstein, there’s not a woman alive who needs to go home and make some man a sandwich than her sorry ass does. /J
Perhaps we need a moratorium on all immigration and concentrate personnel on accurately vetting asylum claims. True refugees need our help. The liars need to be kept out.
The set of things that Feinstein “knows enough” about is considered a “null set” by those who are really in the know.
She rivals Pelosi as a glittering jewel of colossal ignorance.
I agree. All illegal aliens should be deported and those immigrants who support them and/or demand welfare or commit crimes.
What mistreatment?
This.
All too pat and convenient.
We have always separated parents from their children if they are taken in on a criminal act, the kids either go to relatives or foster care. Crossing the border illegally is a criminal act, so...
Does she know anything about the mistreatment of US citizens by illegals?
Yeah right Dianne. It’s not like anybody was making an issue out of illegal aliens back in 2014. What a piece of Chinese enabling millionaire shiite.
bump for later use against liberals...

Selective Outrage Syndrome.
Once again, a Democrat taking the side of illegals and law breakers over American citizens.
Hammer that home through the mid-terms.
