Arresting, and separating families who are seeking asylum is also horrible.

Don't buy the Republican talking point that most immigrants are criminals. It's flat out not true.

The people getting crammed into semi-trailers and dying, along with the people who die trying to cross deserts, are just trying to get jobs.

One guy who was in a semi where 10 died had previously worked rebuilding after Katrina.
