have all been reunited with their parents, right?
RIGHT?

2. The republicans in Congress are traitors. We can call them, but what will they do?
3. Like me, the average American doesn't have the resources to travel to one of the detention centers & protest for weeks or months, living in a hotel.
I don't offer these as excuses, but as reality.

They said that over 300 parents who were deported don't want their children to come back to their home countries to be reunited since it is too dangerous for them to be there and that was the whole point of immigrating to a safer place. They are going to stay in the US in foster families or with relatives. I don't know how many are in detention camps alone still.
