Condemn the Obama Administration for Attacking Immigrants
It's unconscionable that in November 2013 Barack Obama's border patrol fired tear gas at people—including babies and children—who were trying to cross our southern border to seek refuge.
I never imagined that an American president would authorize military troops to use lethal force to stop migrant asylum-seekers at the border.

Why is this important?
Applying for asylum is an international right. By stopping those who seek shelter in the United States from doing so, the Obama Administration broke the law—and put the lives of thousands at risk for political gain.
