As a parent, I cannot sit idly by while the United States rips apart families and hides behind a fear policy to do so. Families fleeing violence and death in their home countries into the arms of the United States must be welcomed, and above all, kept together.

The Congress of the United States should censure Donald J. Trump for his rhetoric employed against immigrants. Employing the word "infest" is similar to the rhetoric used by fascists and other authoritarians. It has no place in a Democracy.

Public Safety

Although public pressure has forced Trump to modify the policy for now, families—including children—can be indefinitely detained in what are essentially prisons. There are also no guarantees that the families torn apart will ever be reunited. Stephen Miller has been identified by the press as the senior White House official behind this new "zero tolerance" policy and should be fired immediately. While other officials, such as Department of Homeland Security chief Kirstjen Nielsen, have been the public face of this policy, it is Stephen Miller who engineered it — and many of the Trump Administration’s other awful anti-immigrant ideas. Recently, the New York Times reported that “Mr. Miller was instrumental in Mr. Trump’s decision to ratchet up the zero tolerance policy.” Last year, The Guardian reported Stephen Miller was also the policy architect behind the Muslim travel ban. The New Yorker reported that he was responsible for ending temporary protected status for Haitian, Salvadoran, and Honduran immigrants already living in the U.S. Miller’s policies look like a page out of the white nationalist playbook — and that’s because Miller has long identified with members of that movement. He even helped white nationalist Richard Spencer raise money for an immigration debate at Duke University. Stephen Miller’s white nationalist policies have no place in America — let alone the White House. Children don’t belong in cages and families belong together. Sign the petition and tell the White House to fire Stephen Miller for his disastrous and inhumane policy of separating children from parents at the border.

I am a concerned tax paying American appalled by the policy of family separation introduced by the White House and this administration.

I started this petition because I care about children’s rights and we are currently violating their basic rights. They have the right to feel safe and be with their true caretakers. They are not responsible.

I ride the subways regularly. For our streets to be better places to walk and bike and live, better subways are essential.

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
