Issues: Immigration
BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
Ms. BARRAGAN. Mr. Speaker, yesterday President Trump signed an executive order, an order that he said was to stop separation of families at the border. This is a policy that he caused, and he has now taken a victory lap. It is ridiculous.
My response: To stop family separation once and for all, President Trump must end his failed zero-tolerance policy. Replacing family separation with indefinite family detention is not the solution. We cannot continue to overwhelm our immigration system and incarcerate families who pose no threat to the United States to please immigration hardliners.
