A migrant family, part of a caravan of thousands traveling from Central America en route to the United States, runs away from tear gas in front of the U.S.-Mexico border wall in Tijuana, Mexico.

Asking to be considered a refugee & applying for status isn’t a crime.

It wasn’t for Jewish families fleeing Germany.
It wasn’t for targeted families fleeing Rwanda.
It wasn’t for communities fleeing war-torn Syria.
And it isn’t for those fleeing violence in Central America. https://t.co/qhv7Rr1itn

I recommend she take a tour of the Holocaust Museum in DC.

Might help her better understand the differences between the Holocaust and the caravan in Tijuana. https://t.co/05vCexiClE

Hi there, I worked at the Holocaust Museum in D.C. for a year. Part of the main exhibit is how America turned away Jewish refugees at our shore who were fleeing persecution in Germany and elsewhere.

May I suggest, @LindseyGrahamSC, that you take a tour of the Holocaust Museum? https://t.co/m9mKhcmVLl
