Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley has joining the growing chorus of Republicans who are denouncing the Trump Administration’s “zero tolerance policy” to separate children from parents who cross the border illegally.

Reports say in the past few weeks, more than two-thousand children have been separated from their parents or guardians at the U-S border with Mexico.
Many are being housed in camps in Texas, including tent cities and one camp that’s inside a former Walmart.
Grassley says any legislation that passes also needs to address funding.
