Washington, DC,
August 17, 2017
Congressman Jimmy Gomez issued the following statement after the announcement on the elimination of the program that safeguards Central American children fleeing violence. "This action by the Trump administration is cruel and inhumane. For these children, this program is the difference between life and death. I believe we have a humanitarian and moral obligation as a nation to welcome and protect these children. I send the following message to President Trump: have a heart – they’re children, and they’re scared." |
