Separating immigrant children from their families causes permanent and irreversible harm. To quote AAP President Dr. Colleen Kraft, this practice “contradicts everything we stand for as pediatricians.” Let’s join together to oppose family separation and promote the health and wellness of all children.

I am Senator Kamala Harris and I am calling on Kirstjen Nielsen to resign as Secretary of Homeland Security. I am doing so because she has lacked transparency and for implementing a policy of separating thousands of children from parents along our southern border. Her numerous misleading statements, including denying this week that the government had a policy of separating children from their families at the border, are disqualifying. Let me be clear: our government should be in the business of keeping families together, not tearing them apart. And despite what this Administration is saying, there is no law forcing them to cruelly separate children from their families. For that reason and more, Nielsen has lost the trust of the American people and must resign immediately.

The current policy of separating young children, infants from their immigrant parents, in order to disuade them from seeking asylum at our southern border has got to STOP. As citizen, we must do everything we can to stop this. Supporting the, Keeping Families Togerher Act is one way we can do this. Please sign and share widely And encourage your friends and family in states who’s legislators have not spoken out about these human rights violations, to do the same. This is a humanitarian issue, not a political one. Keeping Families Together Act: https://www.congress.gov/115/bills/s3036/BILLS-115s3036is.pdf

As a parent, it's extremely heartbreaking to see these families being torn apart in a country that's supposedly the land of the free. The USA has become worse than a communist country.

This administration is cruel,racist, and mentally sick. Who i compare with Hitler. Those kids are been treated inhuman. Just because they are brown

Immigrant Children are cruelly being separated from their parents at the border. Senator Feinstein has filed a bill: Keep Families Together Act which will end this horrific practice. Both Houses of Congress need to pass this bill immediately and President Trump must sign it into law as soon as it has reached his desk.

Because we the people of this country need to stand against the White house from doing unfair acts like taking children from there families .

We are not helpless to stop this injustice. Do NOT stand by and watch thousands of children get taken from their families and detained in facilities without doing something. This is abuse of human rights and needs to stop NOW. Add your voice to the cry for justice!

In WWII I fought the NAZIs because of their disregard for human life. Now the US is doing something totally against the values that have made us outstanding in the world. This must stop.

It is immoral, inhumane, and illegal to rip children from their parents. President Trump has the power to stop this atrocity by simply making one phone call. Make the call!

Separating kids from parents when they are asking for asylum in the US is inhumane. On top of this, the enforcers do not currently have any methodical database to track these parents and their kids. And these parents will not have the means or the ability to find their kids in a foreign land. This is why we are asking Doctors Without Borders to intervene with psychological counseling and try to keep one database so that they could be reunited once this nightmare is over. The drug cartels are taking these innocent parents and kids as ransom at the Mexican side of our border. Hence the reason we are asking the Red Cross to intervene to try and keep these people safe on the Mexican side so that their applications can be processed in a safe, nonthreatening environment. All this inhumanity can be terminated by ONE person. And that is the US Attorney General - Jeff Sessions. And we are asking him to do that ASAP.

As both an American Citizen and mother of two, I am appalled that migrant families who are seeking asylum in the United States from the atrocities being committed within their own countries are having their children separated from them. These children are being placed into detention centers with no parental contact and their parents have no knowledge of where their children are being held, the conditions they are being held in or whether or not their children are alive and well. ICE officials and the Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen refuses to disclose this information to members of the U.S. Congress and Senate. The United States Government, under the Trump Administration, is in breach of US Citizenship and Immigration Service Policy which states: "To obtain asylum through the affirmative asylum process you must be physically present in the United States. You may apply for asylum status regardless of how you arrived in the United States or your current immigration status." https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/refugees-asylum/asylum/obtaining-asylum-united-states I implore the UN Security Council to investigate this cruel policy and demand the status of and conditions where these children are being held. Children should not be used as pawns against a Xenophobic immigration policy.
