Hillary Clinton to help with travel arrangements for immigrants reuniting with children

[ehrnst]

Hillary Clinton is offering a helping hand to immigrants looking to reunite with their families: She says she'll help organize transportation they might not be able to afford.

"I'm going to be tweeting about this in the days to come, but if any of you work for an airline please direct message me because these families will need vouchers and discounted tickets to be reunited over these thousands of miles," she told a crowd cheering her Saturday in Central Park when she took the stage as part of a star-studded summer festival of conversation, music and food.

Immigrants separated from their children after crossing the U.S. border illegally was only one topic addressed by the former Democratic presidential candidate, secretary of state and U.S. senator from New York as part of the OZY Fest in the park's Rumsey Playfield.

She was interviewed by Laurene Powell Jobs, founder of the Emerson Collective, a nonprofit advocate of liberal causes that led the event.

1. A real President at your service..but then, Hillary Rodham Clinton

would NEVER have let this happen to begin with.....steppin' out, steppin' on, and steppin' up...this is what Democratic values look like!!!!!

7. Right. But not "let." Trump ordered it, it was

carried out by those who follow evil orders, and Republicans in congress and most of their electorate have supported the evil deeds of their disordered, malevolent leader.

As you say. THIS is what Democratic values look like!

2. Hillary Clinton's entire career has been based on human rights

This is who she is ~🍃

9. One of the first things that Hillary did as first lady was clean up the travel office corruption

That was left behind from Bush 1 and Reagan. (Of course the republicans tried to demonize her for it, like they do everything else)

While travel certainly isn't on the first page of her resume, it is an area that she has expertise in.

So happy that she can help out here!
