Immigration at the G20

Trump tweeted today "Much can learned from Australia's aggressive campaign against refugees and from posted signs used in the country which include phrases such as No Way and You Will Not Make Australia Your Home." while thousands of Central American and Mexican families are being held in cages in the U.S., dying in the desert or Rio Grande or being sent to the worst cities in Mexico where crime, the drug cartels and criminals reign. Millions of Yemeni have fled for their lives from Saudi and U.S bombs; the U.S. has welcomed 50 of them. Record numbers of African migrants from Congo, Somalia, Sudan and Libya have made the long trek from Libya through Central America to try to get to the U.S. only to be turned away when applying for asylum. Not only is this administration breaking U.S. and constitutional law; it is ignoring international immigration and human rights laws that our beloved country has believed in for so many years. What has happened to us?
