CORY BOOKER: On day one I will make sure that, number one, we end the ICE policies, and the customs and border policies that are violating human rights. When people come to this country, they do not leave their human rights at the border.
BETO O'ROURKE: We would not turn back [INAUDIBLE] and her father, Oscar. We would accept them into this country and follow our own asylum laws. We would not build walls. We would not put kids in cages. In fact, we would spare no expense to reunite the families.
It would still criminalise a lot of these families
JULIAN CASTRO: The reason that they're separating these little children from their families is that they're using Section 1325 of that act, which criminalises coming across the border to incarcerate the parents and then separate them. Some of us on this stage have called to end that section, to terminate it. Some, like Congressman O'Rourke, have not. And I want to challenge all of the candidates to do that.

BILL DE BLASIO: The way that American citizens have been told that immigrants somehow created their misery, and their pain, and their challenges. For all the American citizens out there who feel you're falling behind, to feel the American dream is not working for you, the immigrants didn't do that to you. The big corporations did that to you.
[APPLAUSE]
The 1% did that to you.
AMY KLOBUCHAR: Immigrants, they do not diminish America, they are America. And I am happy to look at his proposal. But I do think you want to make sure that you have provisions in place that allow you to go after traffickers and allow you to go after people who are violating the law.
TIM RYAN: We have a president in the United States who is so focused on hate, and fear, and division. And what has happened now, the end result, is now we've got kids literally laying in their own snot with three week old diapers that haven't been changed. We've got to tell this president, that is not of strength, Mr President, that is a sign of weakness.
