Ana Navarro was a guest host on ABC’s The View on Friday and she didn’t mince words when it came to Trump’s crocodile tears.
“When Ivanka first came on the scene…I thought this was a great thing, I thought she’s going to soften up her father, is going to be a good, positive influence on her father,” Navarro said. “This act of, ‘I am vehemently against this, vehemently against that, but at the same time I remain in this complicit administration and I cash in and laugh all the way to the bank, getting patents in China, and selling stuff here and selling stuff there.’ The act is getting old.”
Commander Jonathan White of the U.S Public Health Service Commissioned Corps said 559 kids of the original 2,551 from separated families remain in custody.
In fact, he said he warned the Trump administration about the health and welfare pitfalls of separating families at the border, but to no avail.
“There’s no question that separation of children from parents entails significant potential for traumatic psychological injury to the child,” White said.
Still, Trump continued plowing her way through.
“I am the daughter of an immigrant, my mother grew up in communist Czech Republic, but we are a country of laws,” she said at Newseum. “She came to this country legally and we have to be very careful about incentivizing behavior that puts children at risk of being trafficked, at risk of entering this country with coyotes or making an incredibly dangerous journey alone. These are not easy issues, these are incredibly difficult issues and like the rest of the country, I experienced them actually in a very emotional way.”
Let’s make sure we save the children from coyotes. Because that’s the real issue here.
“Children were separated from their parents and referred as unaccompanied alien children when in fact they were accompanied,” White said.
