Senator Chuck Schumer was among Democrats visiting a detention center this week, and he was alarmed by what he heard and saw:

These are human beings, children, kids, families, fleeing violence.
This is not who we are. pic.twitter.com/FG48D1CBe6

Overcrowding. Migrants without the help they need.

Schumer just walks around with his finger in the air to see which way the political wind is blowing on any given day.
