LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

This is not who we are, is it?

The process of taking children from their parents is child abuse of a toxic nature. Toxic trauma has lifelong negative effects, both psychological and physical. Why are our legislators standing by and letting this happen?

Is Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., the only person in Congress who cares about basic humanity and has enough gumption to be present and accounted for?

This is President Donald Trump’s way to appease his incessant, “build the wall” chanters. Why are we letting families be used and abused as a political smoke screen? Is this our lawmakers’ agenda?
