Feinstein plans bill to halt separation of families at the border
By Jordain Carney - 05/31/18 11:18 AM EDT
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) plans to introduce legislation to prevent the separation of immigrant children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border, as the Trump administration is facing deep scrutiny over its policy.
"Its hard to conceive of a policy more horrific than intentionally separating children from their parents as a form of punishment. ... This is not what the United States of America should be," Feinstein said in a Thursday statement.
She added that she is working on legislation to "prevent the intentional separation of families. Congress has a moral obligation to take a stand here.
Feinstein, who is up for reelection in November and is facing a primary challenge from the left, did not say when she would introduce the bill. The Senate is currently out of town until Monday afternoon.
The forthcoming legislation comes as a fight over the Trump administration's immigration policies is heating up.

...the republicans piss all over her proposed bill, it goes nowhere, and republicans will merrily continue to act as evil hypocrites and continue to break up families just as the Nazis broke up families in their tragic, and short-lived heyday of hate.
