I like that Kelly is defending his former subordinate (Homeland Chief Kirstjen Nielsen). Loyalty is a good thing. But the surge in illegal border jumpers suggests that Bolton is right - Nielsen isn't doing her job re border enforcement.

Is the enforcement problem due to a lack of money?

If so, that’s not Nielsen’so fault.

It’s Congress’s.

President Trump should close the southern border totally until Mexico stops this invasion coming at us from their territory.

You know it has to be bad if Bolton is jumping on your case because of illegal immigration.

Picking loyalty over “right” is “wrong.”

Trading expletives:

Kelly: Kirstjen doesn't have enough money to close the boarder.

Bolton: well bring in the effin military and close the effin border.

Kelly: Generals are not supposed to swear.

Bolton: I am not an effin general.

Bolton is right. Nielsen's middle name is "I love DACA'. She really needs to exit. It was a mistake to put her in that position in the first place. President Trump has a lot of house cleaning to do, and time's a wastin'.

The problem as I understand it is our laws have serious loopholes which allow illegals to simply come here and ask for asylum then they get into our system and get to stay here. Very few are actually sent back home; especially those who come as a family.

Ergo the problem sits squarely in the lap of congress. One side wants as many illegal democrat voters as they can get and the other side wants cheap labor. Neither side wants to fix this problem because their donors on one side want them and the other side wants power that only more dem voters can give them.

Congress really needs to be slapped because they are killing America by not dealing with this in the right way. It’s also the platform President Trump ran on and won so the American people really want this fixed. No more illegals! Read my lips!

I had read that she was soft on immigration before she was even nominated. No matter her personal views, she needs to enforce Trump’s policies.

Think about it. THREE people observed this and leaked to the press? How many people observed the fight to get THREE, sorry, Trump traitors to leak to the media?

The whole thing is made up, just like the other stories about discord in the White House. People should be calling BS on this kind of stuff.

Good...I am glad that there are opposing views on potential policy within the Whitehouse. The President is the ultimate authority, but he needs to hear arguments from whatever side he can hear. His advisors, etc, due him service by advocating opposing policy views, rather than being “yes men”

What I do expect though, is that once a Presidential decision is made, all parties march forth to carry out that decisio, whether they advocated for it or not. That, and do it with a smile.

Healthy (aka combative) opinions among those providing information for decisions is good thing.

Other’s may argue otherwise, but varying opinions are the foundation of good decisions. I say, bring in more arguments.

And we should believe it because the Washington Examiner said it happened?

The border should be closed. Anything else is close to national suicide. We can't just sit and watch our country being invaded. We already are rewarding illegal aliens who are basically invaders.

This has been posed here before: No country can survive if it fails to protect its borders.
