Yesterday, Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) decided to enter the fray on the recent hot-button issue of temporarily separating children of illegal immigrants from their parents when detained at the border (Daily Wire):
Next weekend, I will be headed to South Texas with my colleagues to witness the treatment of children & families on the border firsthand. These monstrous family separation policies must be stopped. #FamiliesBelongTogether

She likely had not reckoned with Sabine Durden, a German immigrant herself, whose only child Dominic was killed by an illegal immigrant from Guatemala with a record of drunk driving convictions in 2012. Dominic worked as a 911 dispatcher at the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, also worked as a volunteer firefighter and had been given multiple awards for his service to his community. Dominic had plans to be a motorcycle patrolman.
And when can I expect to see you at my house to talk about the ultimate separation I have to deal w 24/7. My only child was killed by an illegal. Crickets from u and your buddies. Votes r just more important than Americans, huh? ????#AmericansBeforeIllegals https://t.co/GXARzOsma7

Before she went after Lee, in early June Durden had responded harshly to California Dianne Feinstein, as well:
BREAKING: I’ve introduced our bill to keep immigrant children from being separated from their parents. 32 senators are taking a stand and making clear that we have a moral obligation to stop this horrific policy. #FamiliesBelongTogether
