CONGRESSMAN LAMB STATEMENT ON BORDER FAMILY SEPARATION POLICY

 

(WASHINGTON, DC) -- Congressman Conor Lamb (PA-18) issued the following statement on the border family separation policy:

 

"Taking children away from their parents is wrong, it's cruel, and it doesn't make us any safer. This isn't how we treat people in America.

 

"We can enforce the law without breaking up families and forcing kids to live in detention camps and tent cities. We are a country that respects and abides by the rule of law, and we are a country that treats human beings with dignity and compassion.

 

"We can be both. We need to be both. We need to do our jobs in Congress and take bipartisan action to put an end to this policy."
