Rep. Adriano Espaillat, ...
Aug. 2, 2018
Tweet - "It's false to say that previous administrations had a policy of intentionally separating children from their parents. This policy began in April when AG Sessions ordered zero-tolerance. It started as a bright idea in the Trump White House and ended up being a disaster."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 2, 2018
Tweet - "The zero-tolerance immigration policy has been an unmitigated disaster from start to finish. The Trump Administration never kept sufficient records for the kids they forcibly separated from their parents, and seemingly had no intention to reunite them. Inexcusable."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 2, 2018
Tweet - "What is the Trump Administration doing to reunite the 711 "lost" children with their parents, who were forcibly removed from their mothers & fathers at the border? We cannot rest until every child is safely back in their parents' arms."

Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 1, 2018

Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 31, 2018
Tweet - "What's really startling is when prominent Democrat leaders let far-left talking points form the basis for their own policy positions. Senate Democrats advocating to #AbolishICE? @JohnCornyn had it right: "Get a grip.""
Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 31, 2018

Tweet - "On Secretary Nielsen's watch, nearly 2,700 children have been separated from their parents & more than 700 children still have not been reunited with their families -- including over 400 whose parents were apparently deported & more than 90 whose parents cannot be located at all."
