This morning I visited an HHS detention facility in Bristow, VA, where a number of immigrant minors are being held, 15 of whom were separated from their parents at the border. Some thoughts:pic.twitter.com/82BNUd4NeI

After visiting one of the ‘better’ detention facilities, all I can say is we need a lot more compassion for these kids. We need to reunite these families now, then come back to the negotiating table and work on real, bipartisan immigration reform so this can never happen again.
Trump appears incapable of compassion
Was the detention center created and used after Jan 2017? Then the current administration did not start this. Do citizen adults who break and put into detention (jail) get to keep their kids with them? Breaking the law has consequences.
Trump & Co. really don’t care.

We could show compassion to ALL of the oppressed kids (and adults) of the world, and we know there are many. But there must be limits placed on grants of asylum. We can't let everyone in, can we Senator? Please work towards comprehensive, bipartisan immigration legislation.
Tired of your tweets- how about you go tell Chuck and Nancy we are tired of weak responses and want you to grow a spine and fight back.
Do u want to flood Virginia with illegals ? Is that your goal?
But Mark, so you mean Melanias jacket didnt express compassion? My head is still spinning. Its like peeing on a frog along the "Tallahassee Trail" and then announcing how much you love wildlife. Whats happening here???
For 8 years you were silent about the border. You didn't care then and you don't care now. Your words mean nothing.
Bullskata Mark Mark,.. open your ears and close your brand of politics. The compassion is there, blocked out by the NOISE of Democrats!
