Dem. Rep, Garcia: You Can’t Deport United States Citizens Even if They Are Children

‘The Trump Administration is saying that somehow the parents had a choice’

RUSH EXCERPT:
GARCIA: "I mean, this is. Really just. A complete shame. And as we know, also against. The. Constitution. You cannot be. Deporting united. States citizens even. If. They are children. We also know that in talking. To the. Families, they weren’t given. A choice. The laws have been clear. They were sent with. The parents. The government is saying the Trump Administration is saying that somehow the parents. Had a choice. That is not the case according to these parents. And in one of these. Cases, the child actually has a very. Serious cancer that was. Being treated. Here in the United States. So the. The. Inhumanity is. Beyond anything. We’ve ever seen. And you’re. Absolutely right, Alex. We know that these. Kids sometimes don’t have up to date passports. They don’t have the documents. There’s actually no. Legal guardian that’s. A us citizen, that. These. Are united. States citizens. They have a right. To be in this country. And so we in Congress and. Many others are monitoring. We’re trying to we’re. Trying to keep track of where they are. We’re trying to. Get them assistance because they. Deserve to come. Back to the. United States. And the. Trump Administration needs to listen to the Supreme Court. And lower courts that have affirmed. That they. Should be. Here in. This country."
