                  PRESIDENT TRUMP'S IMMIGRATION POLICY

  (Ms. ADAMS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. ADAMS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the thousands of 
families being ripped apart by President Trump. Like the majority of 
Americans, I vehemently oppose Trump's cruel and immoral zero-tolerance 
policy.
  In less than 2 months, nearly 2,000 children have been snatched from 
their parents. Why? Because this administration is willing to use 
toddlers as bargaining chips for a wall.
  This Trump-created nightmare is absolutely unacceptable. This 
executive order does nothing to stop immigrant families from being 
detained. What a shame.
  Congress has the responsibility to act and create a bipartisan 
solution. The Ryan immigration bill is not that. It codifies hatred, 
putting families at greater risk.
  I urge my colleagues to abandon this hyperpartisanship and find a way 
to keep all families together and to reunite these children with their 
parents.
