Elizabeth Warren Praised For Preaching 'Compassion Instead Of Cruelty'
When It Comes To Curbing Undocumented Immigrationhttps://www.newsweek.com/elizabeth-warren-praised-preaching-compassion-instead-cruelty-when-it-comes-curbing-1486043

Warren joined three other Democratic presidential candidates—former Vice President Joe Biden, entrepreneur Andrew Yang and billionaire Tom Steyer—in speaking at a CNN town hall in Manchester, New Hampshire, on Wednesday ahead of next Tuesday's primary.
"When asked how she would curb undocumented immigration, [Warren] didn't pivot to right-wing talking points—she talked about using compassion instead of cruelty," said Sawyer Hackett, the communications director for Julián Castro, who recently dropped out of the 2020 Democratic presidential race and threw his support behind Warren.
...
In a series of tweets, Warren reiterated her stance on immigration, asserting that it "does not make this country weaker. Immigration makes this country stronger."
"This so-called crisis at our border is one that Donald Trump helped blow up," she said. "He did it in part by disrupting aid for Central American countries. We need to restore that aid and help stabilize those governments so people don't feel they need to flee for their lives."
"We cannot be a nation that takes away children from their families, or that takes people who come to us who are desperate and treat them with anything other than humanity," Warren asserted, adding: "We have a moral responsibility to them and to each other to live our values every day."
Warren's platform on immigration calls for the act of crossing the border without proper documentation to be decriminalized, in addition to seeking to increase funding for aid to Central American countries, while also looking to change the U.S.'s approach to immigration detention.
