"This child separation policy is connected to the worst abuses of humanity in our history...It is connected by the same evil that separated families during slavery & dislocated tribes & broke up Native American families. It is immoral & must be repudiated.”https://t.co/iCts7XVhbL

"As partisan and as divisive as the whole topic of immigration is, we need to start with what’s right...Can we start with just keeping parents and children together while we figure out some of the other details? The kids need to come first,”
