    Sometimes I have time to answer constituent phonecalls in my office. This time, I talked to Tim from Purcell about the separation of families at the border. I let him know that I am asking the White House to keep families together as much as we can.pic.twitter.com/8T0FRBJglD

        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.

        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.

        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.

        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.

        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

        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.

        This is a fundamental issue for everything we stand for as a country. How can we do this? We have a bill. The Senate should be allowed to debate it and express its view on this inhumane practice of separating immigrant families at the border. We can put an end to this right now. pic.twitter.com/qY4zwmQtFK

        @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.”
