    Watch this. It shows the difficult job of our border law enforcement officials. As they try to prevent drugs & violent people from getting in to the country & also help those in need of asylum, Congress must do their job & legislate to allow detained families to stay together.https://twitter.com/gma/status/1011567249927258113 …

        The war on drugs is a failure. Vote YES on 788 to take money out of the hands of cartels.

        Gaslight much? You need to be stating loudly that the administrations actions separating families is wrong. Stop making excuses. For a Christian, you aren’t very Christ like.

        I have heard no one diminishing the job that our Border Patrol does...we are protesting the ill conceived and executed policies out of the WH. Now it is your job to do something about the root problem exhibited in this video.

        The chickens have come home to home to roost! Our insatiable appetite for drugs and our interference in the internal affairs of countries of Latin America under Democratic and Republican administrations have created the current crisis at the border - Instability, gangs & cartels

        I heard the head of BP say while they are rounding up the people who are coming over for asylum that’s when the drug cartel sneaks in.... so how about we set up stops for people need asylum then the BP can do there jobs.... seems easy enough.

        Reunite those families as soon as they board transportation back to the country they left. Stop allowing children to be used as human shields. Honor those who worked so hard to become lawful citizens..anything less insults their achievements

        Fear mongerer! This is a small%. I think kidnapping kids and putting kids in jail attacks my faith! You are breaking Jesus words, love your neighbor as yourself. Our central American family needs our help, and we kidnap kids and put them in jail. You sir are horrible.

        Border Patrol does have a very difficult job, one made much more difficult by Trump's family separation policy. Focus should be on stopping drugs, weapons & criminals, not families fleeing violence. Yr claim that "We know where every single child is" is simply NOT TRUE!
