I sometimes wonder what James Lankford, MDiv, would say to James Lankford, (R-OK). This is one of those times. Courage, senator. Your seminary education taught you that there are times to speak truth to Caesar. This fellow MDiv is counting on you.

Congrats on your mdiv (seriously). I’m curious what you would do in regards to the current situation with the laws the way they are? It’s a tricky scenario. I’m always in favor of keeping families together unless there is violence or severe felony situations.
-
These people are asylum seekers. They haven’t done anything wrong.
-
The only thing they have done wrong is being brown and not speaking English. Very sad state of affairs in America today!
-
I understand that. I’m not asking for an explanation on who’s coming over. We should welcome all! But not 100% are asylum seekers.
-
And this is the important part many don't get. Many (maybe most) are good people. But it is significantly important to weed out the ones that do not have good intentions. People saying they are ALL good are just not living in reality.
-
They are separating ALL from their children, no matter what their reason. and no one deserves to be separated from their children. Anyone who thinks this is ok for some who are not "good" should read what Jesus says and act accordingly. God says none are good, no not one.
-
Every single family is being separated? If so, unacceptable.

You danced around that real nice. What do you mean "keep families together as much as we can"? Sessions says children will be taken away immediately, no matter what, so is that as much as we can? Yesterday a 4month old baby was taken from her mother while breast feeding.

Check out the :03 - :06 part of the video. Proof that Lankford’s response is BS. Laughing at families being torn apart is f’ing DEPLORABLE!!! Is this just a joke to you and your staff, Senator?pic.twitter.com/yw3Itxe45F

Every time I call his office I have a feeling this is what is going on. They act as if I’m taking up their time,instead of listening to a constituent that has a real concern. I’m so sick of the so-called Christians hiding behind their version of the Bible with lies.
-
The lady I talked to today said children are not really being put in cages. I asked her: DO YOU WATCH THE NEWS? There are pictures!!!

Senator Lankford, would you ever ask for that same leniency in keeping a US citizen’s family together if the parents broke federal law? There are countless cases of US families being broken up when a parent breaks our laws. So why do this for illegals?
-
They are asylum seekers, not illegals, in many cases. These people have nothing & are seeking a better life. In some cases fleeing for their lives. In short they are often doing the best they can. No different from you or I, except we were lucky enough to be born here.

How about CLOSING THE BORDERS and......BUILDING THE WALL that has been promised for DECADES! We are tired of the lies! Talk to the families of those killed by illegal aliens!

What you said is not accurate Senator. Children of US citizens are not automatically separated from their parents if a crime is committed. Everyday I work with families in situations of abuse, most children stay in the home or with family unless crime is shocking & heinous. 1/2

Please go above & beyond on this issue. We must not let trump's administration turn our country into a dictatorship who imprisons children & political "enemies".

A lukewarm request, eh? How very Christian of you. I’d suggest that you *demand* that this unconscionable behavior stop *immediately*. That’d be the pro-life thing to do.

Here's something you could do ~ join other senators and LEGISLATE instead of letting Trump/Sessions enact new unamerican and unchristlike policieshttps://twitter.com/senfeinstein/status/1007284731308847104?s=21 …

@SenatorLankford This constituent is counting on you to do the right thing and do everything within your power to keep families together. I cannot imagine fleeing violence and then being met with the trauma of having my children separated from me. We must care for the “other.”Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better.
