    I joined @koconews this morning to discuss a variety of topics, including the separation of families at the border. The family unit is the foundational basis for society - we should keep them together as much as possible.pic.twitter.com/by27VV3X4X

        So are you on board w/ Trump holding these children as leverage for his wall? (The wall that Mexico isn't paying for, we don't need and, with the tax reform that is spiking the deficit, we simply cannot afford. You are the "wasteful spending" Senator. Where are you on that? )

        I thought I caught a whiff of backbone until the 1:53 mark then you turned right back to lies again. BTW, if Congress has so much work to do, why aren’t you working instead of jacking your jaws? I’m really tired of your lies and sorry work ethics on my dime. Do better, James.

        But he helped convince @SenateMajLdr to keep the Senate in session during the month of August when they normally leave. They don’t like the idea that the Dems could go back home to campaign for mid-terms. So obviously he needs some time to have a town hall, only he never does.

        So many in such a short time. So much wrong with this. But one secondary question I have is what is this costing? The amount has to be astronomical. Is this the most cost effective approach? And out of what budget is the money coming?

        Billions. Reams of articles over the past years and the kids facilities are no exception. The administrator of the one Merkley visited makes 700K + a year. For profit prisons means detainees neglected, huge profits and incentives to work to drive immigration policy to fill beds.

        11k kids currently 'detained'. Most unaccompanied. Whole towns have been revitalized by this industry. 100 facilities currently.

        You will not do what you are saying. You will be a part of holding the children hostage again, just like in the past. Everyone knows the family is the foundational basis for society. You speak out of both sides of your mouth. Words are cheap. Action is what counts.

        You, along with the @GOP have put America to shame it the eyes of the world. Before trump, and your support of him and his policies & the unethical crowd he has surrounded himself with, America stood tall. Not now. And OK has done it's part in suppling numerous odious politicians

        If you truly mean what you are saying and aren’t just paying lip service, you need to cosponsor S.3036 with @SenFeinstein This should not be a partisan issue, it’s a human rights and decency issue. Be on the right side of history. #FamiliesBelongTogether

        You're a United States senator with incredible powers of office. You have multiple options to resolve this issue and do the right thing. I'm extremely not surprised that you haven't.

        Is that why Jared Kushner still has a job? You want the #TrumpCrimeFamily to stick together? That’s super thoughtful. Keep up the great work! You’re a model for cowardly and complicit behavior. TGIF!

        Allowing the Bible to be bastardized for this kind of inhumane treatment devalues you're religion and the word of Christ. It makes hypocrits of every single Christian who does not denounce this kind of rhetoric.

        I'm a constituent, Senator. Please support the Keep Families Together Act. I am also a Christian, far from a perfect one, and I've screwed up a lot and said/supported things that I realized later were wrong. I am concerned for what it's doing to you being complicit in this. WWJD?
