Cory Booker: I went to the US-Mexico border. What I saw there horrified me.

Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) visited the border.  Here is his impressions on Vox.  Booker begins:

“A few weeks ago, I traveled to a border community in South Texas to witness firsthand the human impact of the crisis brought about by President Trump’s cruel immigration policies.

I’m emotionally raw from the trip. How our country treats immigrants coming to our nation — many fleeing violence and oppression in their home countries — will haunt me for a long time. Many of us have ancestors who came to the US fleeing famine or oppression. None of us would want one of our ancestors treated like we are currently treating people at the border.”
