America is looking on, indeed the world is looking on with horror as they see pictures of children in cages. First it was denied. They were saying, No, we weren't separating families. Then they said, Well, we are not putting them in cages. And now America and the world sees the truth. And it is up to the President. He could change this tonight if he wanted to. I think we have to ask ourselves: Why won't he? Why won't this Congress do something? The world is watching. We are losing our moral authority as we speak. I beg the President and the Speaker of the House and others in this Congress to stop this now. ____________________
