I don’t care what you believe, who you vote for or what you think about the nuances of immigration reform. These kids need to be with their parents.

Rep. Joe Kennedy III (D-Mass.) tore into the Trump administration's policy of separating immigrant families in a searing speech from the floor of the House of Representatives on Thursday.

“Mr. Speaker, tonight children — 2, 3, 4 years old — will sleep alone in cages on American soil,” he said.

Yes, the brutality being perpetrated by the United States government is about who we are as a country,” Kennedy explained. “It's about morality. It's about humanity.”

“But first,” he added, “it's about those kids.”

Kennedy described some of the conditions and circumstances that immigrant children have found themselves in after being separated from their families.
A new Trump administration policy of criminally prosecuting anyone who illegally crosses the border will likely cause an increase in family separations because minors can not accompany their parents to federal jails.
