Tom Cotton Sounds Off on the Dems' Latest Radical Immigration Proposal
Cortney O'Brien

Democratic critics of the Trump administration's zero tolerance policy at the border have no good alternative solutions, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) told radio host Hugh Hewitt Tuesday. The left's latest offering, introduced by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), is downright radical, Cotton said.

"What the Democrats are proposing is their most radical open borders lawless proposal yet," he said. "Let’s just call a spade a spade, Hugh. Forty-nine Democrats have now supported a bill by Dianne Feinstein that says children at the border are literally a get out of jail free card. If you show up at our border, you have to be released into our country never to be seen again. They are literally a get out of jail free card, and a get into the U.S. free card."

Feinstein's Keep Families Together Act would prevent families from being separated within 100 miles of the U.S. border except for instances of abuse, neglect or other specific circumstances. Since April, almost 2,000 children have been separated from their parents. The press demanded answers as to how the administration could enforce such a cruel policy, but they have tried to explain that Congress first needs to fix some loopholes over immigrant children that allow adult illegal immigrants to take advantage of the process.
