In another letter, they called on Gov. Ducey to pull the state’s National Guard troops deployed at the Arizona-Mexico border. They said the governor should “stand up” against the Trump administration “immoral policy of separating families seeking asylum and first-time undocumented crossers.”
The Arizona House Democrats pointed out that “intentionally separating families is child abuse. Gov. Ducey “should beve silently standby or lend state resources to help facilitate to an unjust, immoral and un-American policy.”
Gov. Ducey says family separation policy is “unnecessary”
Earlier this week, Gov. Ducey said he supports the Trump administration’s policy of securing the border. However, he believes that separating undocumented families caught crossing the border into the country is “unnecessary.”
In an interview with KTAR News, the governor said, “Ive been calling on Congress for some time to have some type of immigration reform. I think everyone knows that I’m very supportive of border security. But it seems that this separation of families is unnecessary.”
