U.S. House of Representatives Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi says the influx of Central American immigrants along the border is not a crisis, but rather an “opportunity.”
Congresswoman Pelosi took part in a special press conference with U.S. Representative Filemon Vela at the Brownsville Events Center Saturday morning. The two had toured a nearby Border Patrol facility that is currently housing Central American immigrants.
“This crisis, that some call it crisis, we have to view it as an opportunity,” Pelosi said.
The California congresswoman said it’s an opportunity for the United States to show the world how it deals with the women and children, who she says are refugees. "It's a value that we will show the rest of the world how we deal with this,” Pelosi said.

She is living in a whole other world
She really is considering her wealth and influence she has almost no real connection with the average American citizen. Plus I think she's at least partly senile.
Is this woman for real????
When asked on how Congress should deal with the immigrants, Pelosi responded, “We have to take it case by case, due process and respect of law.”

It really is a low tactic to try to soft soak it by using 'women and children' as their excuse for letting this crisis occur
Play to the American's....awww, but what about the children???
Send their azz back to where they came from, that's what you do!!!!!!!!!!
There is already about 48% of our country's population living on some form of government assistance, no need to add to the already overloaded burden that is tanking our economy
Pelosi, GO HOME!
And since you are so worried about them, please take them home with you!!
Then YOU can care for them personally and see to their care
Even today the idea of saying you have to pass it to find out what's in it makes me incredulous.

I'm not ashamed to be an American

I don't live in California, other wise I would do my damnedest to get rid of Pelosi
Reids not up until 2016, but he needs to go too
He's another border-line senile goofball
I spent 53 years in California, they only way she is coming out is by a rope being dragged out.
