Five justices have just said @realDonaldTrump #travelBan is constitutional. That does not mean that it is just. Nor, does it mean that keeping our neighbors fleeing war torn places from seeking refuge here, is who, we as a country should want to be.

"This child separation policy is connected to the worst abuses of humanity in our history. It is connected by the same evil that separated families during slavery & dislocated tribes & broke up Native American families. It is immoral & must be repudiated.”

Today, "@USChamber & @BizRoundtable condemned the practice of separating children from their parents. @BizRoundtable called it 'cruel and contrary to American values.' @USChamber top official said, 'This is not who we are, and it must end now.'"

But President Trump rejected one proposal, by Senator Ted Cruz, to end the separations by increasing personnel in immigration courts, suggesting that many of those judges could be corrupt.

"As partisan and as divisive as the whole topic of immigration is, we need to start with what’s right. Can we start with just keeping parents and children together while we figure out some of the other details? The kids need to come first,”.

“I cannot imagine anyone in his or her right mind thinking Jesus would approve of ripping children from their parents. It goes against pretty much the entire Bible in the ethos of Jesus, and it’s deeply un-Christian.”.-@JamesMartinSJ.

While protecting our borders is important, we can and must do better as a government, and as a society, to find other ways to ensure that safety. Separating babies from their mothers is not the answer and is immoral.”.-Cardinal Daniel DiNardo
