    Sarah Huckabee Sanders Cites Bible As Reason To Detain Immigrant Children

    White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders defended the administration’s detention of nearly 1,500 immigrant children by citing the Bible.

    In a series of heated exchanges between Sanders and reporters at Thursday’s press briefing, the press secretary seemed to have trouble explaining the reasoning behind the practice of separating children from their parents when they cross into the U.S. illegally.

    • "Sarah Huckabee Sanders Cites Bible As Reason To Detain Immigrant Children"
      That is not what she said.
      She said: "it it is very biblical to enforce the law".      soundofreason
    • "The separation of illegal alien families is the product of the same legal loopholes that Democrats refuse to close and the president is simply enforcing them".soundofreason
    • We may not agree with her statements but it's wrong to bend her words. This is why shit like #fakenews gains traction.soundofreason
    • I think you are missing the point "It is very biblical to enforce the law". The bible shouldn't come into this. At all.fadein11
    • And she's a cunt.fadein11
    • soundofreason, I read your quote and the article headline and I'm not seeing a discrepancy there.yuekit
    • OK, I'm missing the point then.soundofreason
    • or didn't watch the video.fadein11
    • I watched the video again, she cited Psalm 127:3-5 clearly sating that immigrant children should be detained, no discrepancy at all.soundofreason
    • She cited a work of fiction that doesn’t have any bearing on law. It’s only relevance is to Christians, and it is not acceptable in an actual legal situation.monospaced
    • *Except in court when you swear an oath on a holy book.soundofreason
    • Not anymore you don’t.monospaced
    • I would never swear on a book I consider no more relevant than Harry Potter, nor should I, since that is for children and has no real bearing on actual law.monospaced
    • Glad we're getting the discussion back to where it matters.soundofreason
    • well, you asked for clarification on why people are upset about citing the bible for these horrendous actions, and that is the reasonmonospaced
    • I asked for clarification on why people are upset about citing the bible?
      I don't think we speak the same language.
      It's all good.      soundofreason
    • Because the Bible isn’t relevant. It’s also a violation of a church and state provision. Imagine if they cited dr Seuss as justification. Same thing.monospaced
