Graham Rips 'Disgraceful' Practice of Separating Families at Border

Evangelist Franklin Graham says the practice separating children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border is "disgraceful.”

But the North Carolina-based preacher isn’t blaming the Trump administration and its zero-tolerance policy toward people who enter the United States illegally.

"I think it's disgraceful, it's terrible, to see families ripped apart, and I don't support that one bit,” Graham, president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, said Wednesday in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network.

"I blame the politicians for the last 20, 30 years that have allowed this to escalate to the point where it is today. We are a country of laws, laws need to be obeyed, no question about that.

"But the situation we have today is the result of our lawmakers in Washington over generations ignoring this, and I’m hopeful that soon something can be done to fix it.”

Graham’s opinion came the same day as Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, called Trump's asylum rules "immoral."

In May, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the nation’s intention to prosecute of adults separately from children when families seek asylum at the border. The children are placed in custody at a branch of the Health and Human Services Department while the adults are processed.

No fan of Jeff Sessions here however who's REALLY putting these kids at “risk”: Jeff Sessions or their illegal immigrant parents?!

Try harder to understand what someone is saying before using crap language to attack someone who essentially agrees with you.

Where did I say the ‘parents’ are not putting the kids at risk? I did not.

My point is that Sessions probably is working with the media to CREATE A FALSE NARRATIVE that will be pummeled through to the general voting public by most media channels for the purpose of making Republicans look like heartless monsters in the Fall elections. I DID NOT SAY anything one way or another about the policy. Sessions ignores the crimes of treasonous monsters like Hillary and Obama but feigns outrage (even quoting the Bible) and somehow gets his face everywhere when it comes to this story? You and many others are being played.

A bit overly sensitive are you? Try understanding what someone's saying without reading between the lines or assuming they're attacking you. It's not always about you, sheesh.

I’m sorry. I missed the memo that explained that labeling an opinion ‘Bullsh*t’ is meant as a compliment in the new English. Especially when the responder completely missed your point.
