    For many of them, their whole family are literally marked for death because they come from countries like Honduras, which are run by criminal gangs. So risking all they risk to come for America? They aren’t just coming for themselves, they’re coming to save their entire family’s lives. And we repay them by separating those families when they get here. It’s shameful.
