Yesterday, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem testified before the House Appropriations Committee. In their usual dishonest manner, Democrats took the opportunity to attack the administration’s enforcement of the immigration laws, among other things. Here are a few clips featuring the Democrats’ finest.
