What about when children were separated from their parents? Project 2025 would dismantle the Department of Homeland Security, eliminate visa priorities for people threatened in their home countries, increase charges for immigration applications, and fast-track those who pay more.

Shrinks the federal government, thereby reducing its effectiveness to serve the needs of the public.  

Family:

Project 2025 says Health and Human Services should “maintain a biblically based, social science-definition of marriage and family.” This means relationships between a man and a woman only. ..(p.489) …”men and women are biological realities that are crucial to the advancement of life sciences and medical care and that married men and women are the ideal natural family structure because all children have a right to be raised by the men and women who conceived them.” Deems black single motherhood as a crisis and uses data without providing a source to justify it.
