HEY,
@LindseyGrahamSC. Knowingly traumatizing children and destroying families is ABUSE! This is not a "deterrent", it is sadistic and has been a used to crush people.These families are not "illegal", they are seeking ASYLUM and ASYLUM IS LEGAL IMMIGRATION.#AsylumSeekers pic.twitter.com/bjZeKs3nU2 -
#Trump's tweet is not based in fact. According to govt report of last month,#Germany's crime rate fell 5% last year to its lowest level in more than 30 years. That -despite the arrival of more than 1million#refugees#asylumseekers since 2015. Via@dwnews http://p.dw.com/p/2zmgn pic.twitter.com/SWRKdgPoP6 -
It's sad when
#americans believe immigrating to the USA is a crime. (Just because#trump called someone a murder/rapist doesn't make them that).#AsylumSeekers from the 1930s and 1940s were given a path to citizenship, NOT prison.#FamilySeparation#ImmigrationCrisis -

3/ Detainees, including
#AsylumSeekers, spoke about racist comments, harassment, threats. One officer to a detainee: “My job is to come here & make your life miserable.” To a Somali detainee: “Shut your black ass up. You don’t deserve nothing. You belong at the back of a cage.”Show this thread -

People fleeing violence should be allowed to follow the legal process to apply for

@GeorgeNewhouse & .@NJP_Au, run on a shoestring, have done it again! They beat Dutton in court to ensure that mobile phones are permitted in onshore detention!! What amazing human rights defenders NJP are. They deserve our support!#auspol#refugees#asylumseekersShow this thread -

migrants dont have a legally valid reason to be in the US. Those are the people sneaking across to get jobs, in crude terms "illegal immigrants." But legitimate

US President
#Trump has referred to immigrants or#asylumseekers using the words "animals", "breeding" and now "infest". The Nazis also used language to de-humanize people. America, what have you become?#ChildrenInCages#TrumpConcentrationCamps -
