    This “policy” is unacceptable and inhumane. It must be fixed & children must be immediately reunited w/ moms. This cannot be tolerated.https://twitter.com/radleybalko/status/1000181860817829888 …

    It isn’t easy for a man to rip a screaming child away from his mother. Most of us couldn’t do it. This is where “animals” comes in. Declare he isn’t really a child, she isn’t a woman. Now it’s like pulling a piglet from a sow. This has always been how states enable savagery.

        This is an attempt to muddy the waters, create confusion, and distort facts. If you don’t like the Law, change the law. And as far as animals go, MS13 are worse than animals....

        This is where the onus is on the media more than ever. Will this be a story beyond a few Twitter mentions by Tuesday or Wednesday or will this be forgotten (ala Puerto Rico) as everyone goes like moths toward a light as 42 more stories and Trump manufactured distractions break?

        Unless the President has called unaccompanied minors "animals," you should to stop giving that insinuation (in the quoted tweet) lift.

        There are six things which the Lord hates, Yes, even seven which are an abomination to Him. Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood. A heart that devises evil plans, Feet that run rapidly to evil. Proverbs 6:16

        Matt you still don't get that the USA is marching towards dictatorship. Fake news, then vilification of others is just the early stops on the march. What I want to know is what are you and other conservatives who have a voice going to do about it?

        Policy might be illegal. UN regulations on admitting refugees doesn't condone dividing families.
