    The Leadership Conference Retweeted Senator Jeff Merkley

    Thank you, @SenJeffMerkley. Separating children from their parents betrays our deeply held American values and does nothing to make our nation safer or stronger. #FamiliesBelongTogetherhttps://twitter.com/SenJeffMerkley/status/1003444959905746944 …

    I was barred entry. Asked repeatedly to speak to a supervisor—he finally came out and said he can’t tell us anything. Police were called on us. Children should never be ripped from their families & held in secretive detention centers. RT if you agree this is WRONG. pic.twitter.com/GVCuXNjR8d

        Seeking asylum isn’t a crime.

        Actually, it's making it look weaker. #MakeAmericaGreatAgain, when I heard that the first time, I had to really think about it. Okay someone is seeing something I'm not. America's has always been great, but the #Propagandia spread like a wildfire. #FakeNews at its best.

        Thank you for being a man of courage & honor who knows that it’s morally wrong to separate parents & children. We shouldn’t be traumatizing families! This is cruel & unusual. America shouldn’t resort to these tactics as a way of deterring individuals/families from seeking asylum.
