The Hispanic Caucus of Democrats Abroad stands firmly against the Trump administration and the GOP congress’s continuing inhumane policy of separating innocent children from their mothers at our borders.
The United States sets the global standard for what is acceptable for human rights and habeas corpus. As Americans living overseas we have a unique perspective on how our country is viewed: it is clear we are losing our moral authority to lead the world’s democracies by example. It’s time for a change.
The Republican Party controls the presidency, the Congress, the Supreme Court, and a majority of governorships and state legislatures. Blaming Democrats or citing a non-existent law requiring children to be treated like animals does not fool anyone about the cruelty of today’s Republicans.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ outrageous comment about this policy being "ordained by God," and Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ compliant defense are the ultimate hypocrisy by the party that claims to be the righteous purveyors of family values and life.
The party of Donald Trump must be held to account. The only sure way to do this is to vote for Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections. It is the only ethical and moral choice for a nation that values a civil society. Democrats unequivocally oppose this policy of destroying the lives of children.
