And next week, Democratic House Leader Nancy Pelosi will lead a Democratic delegation to the border, to witness the effects on human beings of Trump's vile immigration policies firsthand:
.@NancyPelosi "will accompany about 15 other Democrats on the trip Monday to San Diego [to visit the U.S.-Mexico border to witness firsthand the impact of Trump immigration policies], which is being organized by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus." https://t.co/vUnlnw2P82

I hope this is only the beginning. I hope every single Democrat in the House and the Senate inserts themselves in front of every camera and/or microphone they can find between now and Donald Trump's final day in office to raise hell about his obscene nativist agenda.

This is what it's going to take. The time is now.
