Trump says not looking to reinstate family separation policy

Source: AP

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump says he's not looking to reinstate the much-criticized practice of separating migrant families at the border with Mexico. But he says many more migrants are streaming toward the U.S. through Mexico because the practice is no longer in place.

"I'm the one that stopped it," Trump said. He claimed his predecessor President Barack Obama is the one who separated children from their families.

Trump ended the practice under pressure last year after footage of scores of migrant children housed in fenced-off cages at border facilities was broadcast widely. Trump's allies are pressing for a harder line on immigration after he cleaned house at the Homeland Security Department.

Trump says "once you don't have it," meaning the family separation policy, "that's why you see many more people coming."

Keep reporting what he says with a straight face, MSM. Don't provide any context or facts that contradict his bullshit.

I wonder if it was this practice that caused him to fire Nielsen. I wonder if she "suggested" that we not do this again, or we'd have to spend a lot more money to keep good records and provide decent housing.
