    The practice of separating children from parents as a deterrent to seeking asylum is inhumane. Seeking asylum is not illegal. In fact, it is written into US immigration laws to ensure that those w/a credible fear of persecution can present their case #FamiliesBelongTogether

        But you don't sneak across the border to achieve that you go to port of entry. Ate we now protecting those who break our laws. That is not the United States of America either. No outrage about the killings in Chicago, guess crime in the United States is ok, we don't need it fixed

        Just let it keep happening and do nothing about it. Where's the compassion for those innocent families who have lost loved ones forever. No not there they don't matter just illegal immigrants. Poor state of affairs when our Congress doesn't care about our citizens. Let's be fair!

        This passage must not be in your Bible. “When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt” (Leviticus 19:33-34)

        Were you napping during the Obama admin? I missed your outrage when this happened then. Are you suggesting we shouldn’t follow the law? So now we don’t have to abide by laws we don’t like? Stop whining and do your job. @realDonaldTrump @GOPChairwoman @SenSchumer @SenateMajLdr

        Our nation's elected officials are so focused on partisan politics that they are blinded to actual threats. This inordinate increase in illegal infiltrators with unaccompanied children is not a natural occurance...It was orchestrated

        Tell that hypocrisy to the abortion law you support that rips babies from wombs at full term and sell body parts, or tell homeless US citizens living on the streets in California you care more about illegals than them

        Yes, seeking asylum is not illegal - but the problem is the amount of abuse of the system that has skyrocketed the past 8 years due to our weak enforcement of existing laws by past administrations.

        We don’t separate for asylum, we separate for illegal entry processing where asylum is not an issue. Please be truthful.

        Encouraging more children to be trafficked is sick and demented. You are all sick if you think 10,000 unaccompanied children is ok.
