The 12-year-old daughter of two undocumented immigrant parents delivered an emotional speech at the Families Belong Together rally in Washington, D.C., on Saturday.
The girl, identified only as Leah in a CNN video, fought back tears while speaking out against the Trump administrations zero tolerance policy, which has resulted in more than 2,000 migrant children being detained and separated from their parents.
Why do they hurt us like this? She said. It is unfair that they get to spend time with their families today while there are children in detention centers and in cages all alone missing their parents, who are thrown in jail.
The thousands of attendees cheered Leah on and chanted Shame in response to mentions of Trump policies and family separations.
Leah shared her personal fears that her mother will be arrested and deported, saying that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) wants to take away my mom from me.
I dont like to live with this fear, its scary, Leah said. I cant sleep, I cant study, I am stressed.
I dont understand why this administration wont support mothers who just want a better life for their children, she continued. This needs to change.
Leah said that she wanted to be an example to other kids with undocumented parents, and to tell them not to give up.
We are all human and deserve to be loved and cared for, she said. We are children. Our government has to do the right thing and stop separating us from our parents.

who in the hell told you to come here in the first dam place? I swear these @sshole are unreal! They crash the party and then complain that the host is kicking uninvited guests out of the house. Depot her 14 year old ass and her parents and tell them to try it legally!
Maybe they can have Peter Fondo take care of the children. He seems to like them...a lot.
it’s only fitting that the Dems pick a young girl with no life experience except for brain washing to be their leader in immigration policy just like they picked a wet behind the ears snotty filthy mouthed kid to lead them on anti second amendment policy. I got an idea, why don’t they get an aborted baby to tell them about abortions , that it is anti nature and anti God.
Question: Are you in this country illegally?
GTFO then!
Typical emotional manipulation, otherwise known as propaganda. Send this 12 year old back to her parent’s country of origin along with her parents.

There is a good reason why there are minimum age requirements universally to serve in political office.
Does anyone else remember the TV series “Kid Nation?”
The only thing more absurd than allowing a child to determine public political and social policy, is seeing presumed adults going hysterically in tears at how great that is.
Dear God, please save us from the insane, blessed though they may be.
Send 'em ALL back and they can figure it out from there.
Weaponizing children - hope they are ready for the millstones....
