With zero f@cks left to give, the Puerto Rico Senate unanimously voted for a scathing censure of Trump, authored by Juan Dalmau (PIP), for the occupant’s zero tolerance policy of separating children from their parents. The PR House will vote on a similar censure resolution during their next day in session...
Through a press release, Senator Dalmau (PIP) stated, “The enforcement of the ‘zero tolerance’ immigration policy by the US government can only be the product of a callous and twisted mind.”
Primera Hora reports:
According to Senate Resolution 800, the implementation of the "zero tolerance" policy on the border by President Donald Trump is made "under the umbrella of a xenophobic and intransigent public policy that finds no basis in any legislation.”
"It is a violation of human rights to separate parents and children, locking up the latter in concentration camps as criminals," Dalmau said in written statements about Trump's policy.
"This policy not only has a racist and xenophobic stance against our Latin American brothers but, even worse, constitutes a criminal and inhuman act by ripping children out of the arms of their parents who cross the border with them, depriving them of their rights and incarcerating them in installations that resemble concentration camps. The federal government is abducting children and not reuniting them with their parents, which is criminal and inhumane," Dalmau said.
It appears that our senate is not holding back in their disdain of Trump and his policies, even our pro-statehood PNP senators who affiliate with the Republican Party and hold a majority in the senate voted unanimously for this censure resolution.
Senator Juan Dalmau, Independence Party candidate for governor in 2016 tweeted:
“RS800 — To express the strongest repudiation of the policy of separating immigrant families being undertaken at the border”
Pa’lante!
