Forum: McFeely: Trump’s child separation policy bleeds into ND Senate race

It seems obvious the moral thing to do would be to reunite the migrant children with their parents at this country’s southern border. Stop the cruelty as the first step and go from there. Using children as young as 18 months old as political leverage isn’t the American way.
