(Columbia, SC) -- Columbia's mayor is leaving today for a trip to call attention to what he believes is a horrendous and inhumane immigration policy.
Steve Benjamin said yesterday he's flying to Texas today where he and mayors from around the country will visit the Mexico border tomorrow.
Benjamin is president of the US Conference of Mayors, and he's also a critic of the practice of removing illegal immigrant children from their parents.
Benjamin tells "The State" the policy goes to the core of who we are, not just as Americans, but as human beings.
