Cory Booker on Separating Children: This Is a Moral Crime in Our Nation

EXCERPT:

MITCHELL: "Do you buy their argument that these children will be reunited with their families, and that everybody is, registered, if you will, and it’s possible and in fact is working for parents to find their kids?"
BOOKER: "No. I mean, this is the — one of the moral lows of our country in the past decade. We have over 2,000 children that have been separated from their families. The folks I'm talking to here on the ground, the advocates, are telling me stories of people being deported back to Guatemala, Ecuador -- excuse me, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, without their children, with no plan in place, no plan in place to reunite them. This is a grievous assault on the dignity and humanity of others. This is a betrayal of our values. They have no plan in place. They have no plan even to identify the children who've been separated. And I think this is a moral crime that’s going on in our nation. And this -- this administration should answer for what they’ve done."
