My Fax to my MoC tonight --
Feel free to adopt or adapt any of it, if you like. The last 3 paragraphs were centered, in red, and in larger type. Certainly not my most eloquent -- I dashed it off quickly to just get it done. This is the free service I use:

We have a self-inflicted humanitarian crisis on the southern border.
What a day for the U.S. to pull out of the U.N. Human Rights Council – just as the entire world is seeing too much similarity between Trump and Hitler. Separating parents and children, and the internment of children, some of whom will NEVER be re-united with their parents again, is beyond immoral, beyond inhumane.
I repeat: Some of these children will NEVER be reunited with their parents. The administration has NO POLICIES or procedures or even adequate records for reuniting children and parents.
The U.S. has NO RIGHT to treat anyone that way, least of all asylum seekers, and even less so children of any age.
We are breaking our own laws; we are breaking international laws; we are breaking God’s laws.
Even more evil, the U.S. is preventing asylum-seekers from crossing at the designated legal checkpoints, thus forcing them to cross at the wrong spots and in the process to become ILLEGAL border crossers – a misdemeanor not usually punished by having one’s children stolen – to ensure more of them can be made subject to these inhumane Trump policies.
Children are being used as bargaining chips and ransom so Trump can get his way on other border policies. This is extortion. Using children this way is illegal and immoral.
ALL OF THIS IS A DIRECT RESULT OF CONGRESS NOT EXERCISING
ANY OVERSIGHT OVER THIS PRESIDENT AND HIS ADMINISTRATION.
WHEN WILL YOU START?
STOP THE SEPARATION OF
CHILDREN AND PARENTS NOW.
