Nowhere in the Immigration Nationality Act does it say that separating children from their parents is lawful. This is not the law. It's illegal, shameful, and immoral.
FYI: coming to the US to seek asylum from an oppressive country is not illegal. See INA: ACT 208 - ASYLUM. The current administration is distorting this clearly written benefit of our immigation system.
Note to Sarah Sanders and Jeff Sessions:
If you are citing the Bible to justify torturing migrant children, consider the possibility that religion has not been a positive influence on your morals.
@bryce_bachelder I 5,000% agree with you! I should have specified more. Predominantly white Evangelical Americans have become the bulk of this issue. I'm thankful for leaders like Rev. DeShazier, Dr. Singh, and Bp Seitz (to name a few) who continue to fight the good fight for the oppressed.
Reasons millennials are leaving the Church: Christian leaders are being silent on issues that morally matter, and that is becoming lethal for those fleeing oppression. Please, I beg you, start talking.

H - "Haven't you people ever heard
O - of closing a goddamn door?" No, it's much
b - better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality
@bryce_bachelder @USOlympicNews Agreed! @fisalpine World Cup at @KillingtonMtn the last few years has been a great boost for our local economy! Adding surrounding States to this would ease the traffic concerns!
The American President leaves summit with Canada and the Europeans in a fit of anger so he can get to Singapore in time to pay the North Korean dictator's hotel incidentals is a weird turn of events
Dear members of ICE: “just following orders” is what nazis said during the Nuremberg trials. It is YOU who are doing these things. YOU are ripping children from their parents & holding them in cages. History will see that YOU carried out these crimes against humanity. YOU.
#PRIDE month is the best month. I'm so glad I came out 3 years ago in order to live my best life for my best self. Also thankful for all the #LGBTQIA pioneers before me who made it possible to be out and safe today. Love yourselves, y'all! 🏳️🌈
Nearly 1,500 migrant children go "missing" and it's barely news. One white kid murders 10 people at school and there's a debate over whether he's a victim. This is a violently racist country, and always has been. Insist on fighting for change. The other option is to be complicit.
the govt @ all levels is staging coordinated attacks on the rights/security of PoCs, women, immigrants, lgbtqia citizens, children, the poor. so when u get sensitive abt being a straight white dude called a straight white dude, remember - ur the ONLY protected group n the country
