Why are people out in the scorching heat in record numbers?
1) The current Administration has implemented a devastating new policy of separating young children - including infants - from their mothers and fathers at the border as their parents are attempting to claim asylum...
1) The current Administration has implemented a devastating new policy of separating young children - including infants - from their mothers and fathers at the border as their parents are attempting to claim asylum...
2) The immigration executive order does NOT end the ‘zero tolerance’ policy, which is entirely new and was created by the Administration; instead, they are pressing ahead to present indefinite child/family detention as somehow an acceptable alternative...
3) We must reject this false choice. This policy is simply wrong. It does nothing to keep us safer, and it is inhumane. As parents are being ripped apart from their children and put into criminal proceedings, they are not told whether they'll be reunited with their children...
4) In some cases parents are told" forfeit your legal right to apply for asylum and we'll give you your kid back and you can be deported together" and then the parents are deported by themselves. This is done in ALL of our names. It is outrageous...
5) Efforts to replace family separation with the elimination of nearly any asylum claims and jailing tens of thousands of immigrant and refugee families together for what is likely years is absolutely wrong. It is un-American and has nothing to do with public safety...
6) Opposition to this policy should have nothing to do with politics - it is simply wrong to separate children from their parents. That is why we fight. #FamiliesBelongTogetherMarch (fin)
