    A bill I co-sponsored, the Secure & Succeed Act, would have repealed this Flores policy, so we can keep #KeepFamiliesTogether. The administration can tweak this. But it is also past time for Congress to reform our broken immigration laws http://goo.gl/SfZ9wZ https://twitter.com/senatorlankford/status/1008884333753585669 …

    A 1997 court settlement called Flores v. Reno prevents the gov’t from keeping children with their parents if the parents are charged with a crime for crossing the border illegally. The law doesn't have to be enforced this way due to prosecutorial discretion.

        He's gotta get that wasteful wall built for his leader Trump so Trump will endorse him in a deep red state where Trump's support is 100% vital.

        I agree.This needs to be fixed. But in the interim, this needs to end IMMEDIATELY. This is NOT acceptable. Do something about the immediate crisis, then create a bipartisan longterm fix ASAP. But cessation of the current policy is of paramount primary importance. Do that FIRST!

        Lankford must be replaced in 2022. Lankford is hell-bent on bringing in as many illegal aliens as possible, as is the Southern Baptist Association. I am a Christian but our Country will not survive if this happens.

        Hello. I called your office today and yesterday. After watching your Facebook video, I’m wondering if you will reintroduce legislation or if you would be willing to co-sponsor S.3036. Signed, A Voting Constituent Tired of Her Tax Dollars Being Used to Torture Children

        Past tense, Senator. This is not a partisan issue. It is a moral issue. One would think a Baptist pastor would know no the difference. #S3036 is on the table now.

        As a constituent I am asking for your support on Senate Bill 3036... The Keep Families Together Act. As a lifelong Republican I am extremely disappointed in our party on this. As a Christian and a youth ministers, my heart breaks at what breaks the heart of Jesus!

        We need to fix the broken immigration system, but it is crucial to stop separating families regardless of one’s immigration views. Tell trump he must end this immoral policy now ,today, tomorrow. Don't wait for a drawn out fix. Right now almost 70 children a day are being taken.

        Your bill was disgusting itself, it made legal immigration more difficult and gave Trump $25b for his wasteful wall. Are you joking? You're a very bad man, sleep well creep.

        Senator, I remember hearing you speak several times at Falls Creek over the years. You were passionate and empathetic. Despite our political differences, you have always struck me as a principled man of faith. Where is that man I remember from 15 years ago? #KeepFamiliesTogether

        At this very moment, the primary issue is not policy. It is people. Children are being torn from their families. The US government is violating their human rights. Please use your power to stop this immediately. Then you can have a policy debate.
