Separating children from their parents for no reason except to do it

is one of the most cruel things anyone can do. These children are already stressed because of having to leave their homes, clothing, toys and food because of the danger there, traveling long distances with no end in sight.

What business does our government have doing this to children???

ABSOLUTELY NONE! THERE IS NO EXCUSE! JEFF SESSIONS SHOULD BE RECALLED FROM HIS POSITION FOR IMPLEMENTING SUCH AN ODIOUS POLICY!

Never in my years of voting has there been a more dire need to vote the scum out of office. Scum is above their station in life.

Here's what I said:

The International Red Cross has reunited separated families for decades. Current policies of the United States government have called for the cruel and traumatic separation of children as young as 18 months old from their parents as they attempt to enter the United States. Thousands have been warehoused in recent years, and currently 1,500 have gone missing, possibly sold into human trafficking. Because this is an international issue, the Red Cross has a moral imperative to speak up to the international community to condemn these inhumane policies. When the whole story becomes known, who in the IRC will defend its silence?

PLEASE SPEAK UP!
