President Donald Trump is responding to the overnight news that he is now putting babies – some as young as three months – in his child internment camps, by warning Americans that “illegal immigration” threatens America’s “safety and security.”
“The Fake News is not mentioning the safety and security of our Country when talking about illegal immigration,” the President said Wednesday morning in a statement. “Our immigration laws are the weakest and worst anywhere in the world, and the Dems will do anything not to change them & to obstruct-want open borders which means crime!”
The Associated Press reported late Tuesday night that “more than 2,300 children have been taken from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border, resulting in a new influx of young children requiring government care,” since Trump launched his “zero-tolerance policy.
“Trump administration officials have been sending babies and other young children forcibly separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border to at least three ‘tender age’ shelters in South Texas, The Associated Press has learned.”
“Lawyers and medical providers who have visited the Rio Grande Valley shelters described play rooms of crying preschool-age children in crisis. The government also plans to open a fourth shelter to house hundreds of young migrant children in Houston, where city leaders denounced the move Tuesday.”
