We should not be separating children migrants from their families. Congress can take action to provide better long-term certainty and consistency on this issue in a way that does not incentivize unauthorized border crossings. (1/3)

Thank you for making it clear where you stand on separating families, Senator Tillis. However, does this mean you will support S.3036? That is what is important. That is what will make a difference today.

Amen!
@SenThomTillis & his colleagues can show@realDonaldTrump that we are not this! Or, under@GOP control, is this what we have become?!? Those are the only options. FIX THIS, Senator!!!

You can do all of that by signing the
#KeepFamiliesTogether act while you work WITH Democrats to find a solution everyone might be happy with AND stop separating families NOW! Stop trying to force Americans to pay for a wall that the majority of Americans do not agree with! -
Isn’t that what the Republican Party stands for? Less government intervention? Then stop intervening in families and stop forcing Americans to pay for a wall along the entire southern border of the country. That would be insanely expense and infeasible.

Meanwhile, everyone - democrats, republicans, independents - everyone, seems to agree that separating children from their families is wrong. There is no Godly reason migrant families can’t await a decision on their status TOGETHER.

This will surprise you, Katie, but actually 65% of registered
@GOP are on board.https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/as-republicans-flee-trump-border-policy-democrats-see-a-november-benefit/2018/06/18/b6885b8e-731f-11e8-805c-4b67019fcfe4_story.html?utm_term=.5f0b35c9dcb5 … -
Actually I am not surprised that GOP voters are on board! Like I said, everyone seems to agree that separating families at the border is wrong. But what does astound me that the GOP representatives who are supposed to reflect the will of the people are not *actively* on board. 1/

The WaPo article you shared refers to a bill that Sen. Joe Manchin signed. The
#KeepFamilesTogether act has no GOP senate co-signers: https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-bill/3036/text … -
I guess I’m still Pollyanna enough to be surprised by things
I’ve written both @SenThomTillis and@SenatorBurr asking them to join the Democrats. W/strong support from their base on this, and their history of inaction against this administration...not holding my breath. -
Haha
I also admittedly seize up a little bit at the word “actually,” but I am so glad to hear it! Sorry for the rant, that was mainly for the benefit of Senator Tillis and the GOP account

What are your words worth? Co-Sponsor S.3036. The longer you do nothing, the more you contribute you to misery of children and irreparable harm to families. I will not let your name be spoken again in my presence without mentioning your weakness when facing this evil.

Thank you for your thoughts. However as one of your constituents, I would like to know exactly what it is you are going to do to address the current crisis? Will you please support Feinstein's bill to halt the separation of immigrant families?
