Ending a fact-finding trip on root causes of migration from the "Northern Triangle" – Guatemala, El Salvador & Honduras – Speaker Pelosi and her bipartisan delegation visited asylum seekers in the border city of McAllen, TX, and affirmed a MORAL RESPONSIBILITY to end this crisis.
On the heartbreak of traumatized children left on the street this week when their parents were taken in Mississippi #ICEraids, Speaker Pelosi recalled Trump's now broken promise to go after criminals only – saying his targeting of workplaces "undermines the character of America."
One week after 22 people were killed in #ElPaso, Speaker Pelosi also spoke with moral clarity on the URGENCY to come together as a nation to #DisarmHate:
"Xenophobia, white supremacy, and availability of guns are an explosive combination that we must disconnect."

Ending the trip, Speaker Pelosi called for better care of migrants & restoring US aid:
“We should not be cutting off the resources that help the children, [the] women, [the] indigenous people of the region [and] that help fight corruption – which is key to making a difference.”
