“This is wrong.” Beto O’Rourke visits temporary shelter housing migrant youths in Homestead, Florida: “All of us need to stand up and reclaim this country, and what we mean to ourselves, to the rest of the world, and to these kids.”

Two presidential candidates, Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar, visited a temporary holding facility for unaccompanied migrant children in Homestead, Florida, on Wednesday, hours before they were due to hit the Democratic debate stage.

“What is happening at Homestead to children, what is happening as the direct result of the activities of the United States government, is wrong,” Warren said. She said the Trump administration's policy was to maximize"the pain inflicted on families who flee to the United States to try to build some security and safety in their lives," and called it"fundamentally and morally wrong.

Sens. Kamala Harris of California and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, former Secretary of HUD Julian Castro, former Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper and Marianne Williamson, a spiritual guru, and author, are scheduled to be there Friday.Both Warren and Klobuchar missed the Senate's vote on a $4.

catman41954 You piece of crap ! When R you going to care about AMERICAN HOMELESS CHILDREN? St least these illegal kids have food & a place to sleep ..brought here by parents breaking our law. What do you tell this kid?

7NY After so many years now people are concerned about this.😏🙄

7NY Soy boy

Robert has only illegals who support him he doesn't care about the kids he helped fund the migrants to come, He has lost most of his supporters

they did not let in him and he was only there for a photo op. Illegals are not welcome in our country, The ones who came legally do not support Robert and what he is trying to do. We took back our country from democrats who tried to ruin it. No open borders

7NY What do you propose Robert?

Meaningless political speak.

GTFOH dude! You are from El Paso! You know...the town that borders with Mexico. Don’t act all shocked and surprised. You’ve been ignoring that very problem that’s been happening for decades, right under your nose! He’s just pandering for votes. Fake Mexican, lying Irishman.

That doesn’t make any sense.

que mierda

Hope this trickles to the 400000+ foster kids in this country

7NY This is shocking & sad. As an African immigrant I have experienced the horror of American indifference. IMPRISON NMENT & TORTURE for 11 yrs in NJ for NO REASON. The attempted murder of my late dad when he came to the US angry & wanting answers as to why I was incarcerated.....!!!

Why doesn’t he visit all the homeless living in the streets. Some children are living in cars and he and the rest of the idiots are worried about ILLEGALS. Take care of AMERICANS!

Obama's law, Obama's cages. Trump asks Congress to fix this mess. Crickets....

Word salad. Typical Dem.

Nothin stopping you from giving them your money, Beto! Maybe pay for their college too, while your at it!

What a hypocrite! He should fix the problem in his home state of Texas before telling Florida what to do. Take the out of your own eye, then...

Awww..so what made him think they needed any attention NOW when nothing was done for, say, last two months...ignored and even said the border situation was manufactured crisis!!!! 🤦🏻‍♀️SMH

Hey Beto How about these kids? I pray that God puts the love for babies lives into your heart.

mywatchbegins andrewyang2020

Did he stand on anything?

Give them your campaign money your not going to need it

Where’s he been? Oh wait, he’s gotta make up for that comical “debate”

Dont come here illegally. Problem solved. Your welcome

70% tax rate... that's what the Democrats agree on.

Happy to see Beto O'Rourke imitating Barack Obama's gestures while giving speeches to American people. A proof that former President is still famous. Intelligence belongs to everyone willing to succeed regardless its age, color and place of birth.

This is all bull from the Democrats. It’s all about the take over of the government. It’s all about power. It’s all a about socialism. ewarren BetoORourke JulianCastro BilldeBlasio CoryBooker and the rest of you lying Democrats. DemocratsHateAmerica

Yeah, close those places down and return those poor children back to their home countries.

What is wrong is your lack of compassion for the homeless American citizens across our country! Stop with the fake moral outrage.

So here’s the logic that orourke & other democrats are saying: That people are desperately fleeing their countries to come to America which is saving them but we need to change america so it can be more like the country they’re fleeing from

I wonder how many kids of those is he taking home with him or adopting, how many is he supporting with his own 💰? We have plenty of candidates mouth-doing, what we really need is someone who really does something... do more and talk less

Yeah it’s wrong Beto Send them home

Did he suggest any solutions, or only mindless sound bites to say 'I'm sad and I care.'

Too late. This concentration camp been going on months. I knew it and I don't live in fla.

What did you see BetoORourke did they let you in?

kids in cages Orchestrated by President Obama. Please stop advancing the false narrative.

Nice photo Op... Did he speak Spanish really bad again? At least he didn't use a kid as a prop like Warren did yesterday AllPoliticiansAreScumbags BothPartiesSuck

Reclaim this country by giving it away!

Democrats need an identity as a party: De Blasio2020 Democratic candidate Bill de Blasio joins Morning Joe to discuss the first debate, his platforms, his vision for health care and why he says Democrats need an identity as a party. MedicaerForAll NOW! RIGHT NOW! De Blasio should start with NYC, which as mayor he neglected. Since taking office the City is dirtier, storefronts are vacant, the homeless population has exploded. He has been a neighborhood bully favoring Brooklyn and punishing the Upper West Side (even removed the trash cans). It’s very clear. 👉Whatever destroys America the fastest.

Elizabeth Warren announces visit to migrant facility hours ahead of first debateSen. Elizabeth Warren said she will go on Wednesday to a facility in Homestead, Florida, that's holding unaccompanied migrant children -- a suddenly announced visit amid a fight on Capitol Hill over funding for the program that cares for such children and controversy over conditions at some border facilities. Make sure they wear maga hats to avoid deportation Winning strategy ... Last year Democrats & MSM all said the border crisis was 'manufactured' by Trump. Acosta even went to the wall to show us there was no crisis. Funding towards the wall and DHS were denied by Democrats. All of this time has been wasted while DHS struggled.
