INVESTIGATE GOVERNMENT ACTIONS AT THE SOUTHERN BORDER


In his speech to the nation, Trump asked us to call our Members of Congress and tell them how we feel about his border wall. Let’s tell them loud and clear. No funding for a border wall or border slats. End the shutdown. Let the government go back to work. 

And while the President plays chicken with our government services, let’s ask Congress to investigate the humanitarian crisis at the border.  

  • Two children recently died in custody
  • Asylum seekers are illegally denied and now live in such squalor that diseases are beginning to develop in the temporary camps
  • Only six immigrants in the terrorism database were stopped at the border in the first half of 2018—not 4,000 that Press Secretary Sanders claimed

This is a battle for truth telling and law following!   

Our calls have never been more important!  

Investigate the Trump Regime’s Crimes Against Humanity!
