      I disagree with the administration’s policy of separating families, but we must continue to protect the privacy of the children, many who have experienced trauma. #KeepFamiliesTogether & keep cameras away from these kids. Just like in 2014:https://newsok.com/article/4984947/us-rep-jim-bridenstine-says-he-was-denied-access-to-fort-sill-facility-housing-young-illegal-immigrants …

      I have been numerous times. There are strict child protective service and social worker rules at these facilities. There are many in Congress working on this issue, but we don’t need to politicize the pictures of these kids. There are very real safety issues.

          The safety issue is the irreparable harm done to these children mentally. You dimiss what the doctors and most all of those in the medical field are saying about the separation consequences. You just can't admit the truth.

          Why not just sign on to the existing bill to end this practice, Senator? A clean bill just to address this problem.

          What you’re really trying to say is stop highlighting the atrocities of this administration. Please stop pretending any of you care about these children.

          Would it be better for you if there weren’t photos? Best way to stop that would be to support legislation to stop separating children from their parents.

          Tone so hard to interpret I know, so I’m asking in sincere hope and Ernest desire to know they are being nurtured and soothed and comforted.

          It would be hard for both parents and child. I would hope to be through the process quickly, knowing my child was safe, fed, clothed and housed. Awful for a short time, better than what we escaped and on to a better life. For now, that is what the US has. Congress must act.

          Strict standards that don't allow for the comforting of small kids, giving kids a mylar blanket and acting like that is a great gesture. The photos help make this real for many. Sadly, it is probably worse since the horrible photos were put out by govt.
