Trump: 'Many' border crossers using children for 'sinister purposes'

Source: The Hill



BY BRETT SAMUELS - 07/29/18 08:33 AM EDT

President Trump on Sunday defended his administration's immigration policies, which have led to the separation of migrant families, claiming "many are just using children for their own sinister purposes."




Trump has repeatedly used heated rhetoric to cast suspicion on immigrants, accusing them of trying to "infest" the U.S. and suggesting immigrants are causing Europe to "lose its culture."

Meanwhile, the Trump administration continues to face backlash over a "zero tolerance" immigration policy that led to the separation of thousands of migrant children from their parents. The policy called for any individual crossing the border to be arrested, leading to the separations.

A court-ordered deadline for the government to reunite the separated children came and went on Thursday, and hundreds of young migrants remained apart from their parents.

People aren't going to be convinced that it's okay. The more he tries to defend his cruel actions and abhorrent policies, the greater the disgust.

That they kidnapped these children for them to make money on and use for criminal purposes. HE often accuses others of what HE'S doing. Another Joseph Goebbels tactic. And trump idolizes both him and Hitler's tactics used for power over people.

Did he normalize his daughter to act like a porn star in photos, or did she do that herself?
