Speaking at an Iowa town hall event, Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg said migrant families separated by the U.S. government deserve “compensation.â€
“Can you imagine if you’ve been taken away from your parents and didn’t know where they are?†Buttigieg said Sunday during a town hall in Charles City, Iowa, according to the Washington Examiner. “The United States owes something to the kids in that situation. First of all, of course, to swiftly reunite them with their families. But we probably owe them a little more than that given what we’ve done. In fact, we definitely we owe them more than that.â€
“We need to make sure that they have compensation and that we do things to try to make it right,†he continued, but did not stipulate what such compensation would entail.
