FOX: President Trump on Saturday called on Democrats to end a “horrible law” that he says separates children from their parents when they cross the border — and also accused them of “protecting MS-13 thugs.”
“Put pressure on the Democrats to end the horrible law that separates children from there [sic] parents once they cross the Border into the U.S.” he tweeted.
Trump made the remarks amid a pushback from Democrats and activists at a “zero tolerance” policy enforced by the Justice Department. That policy refers all illegal border crossings for prosecution, including illegal immigrants with children.
Those parents are housed at adult detention centers, and consequently their children are separated from them, registered as “unaccompanied minors” and handed to the Department of Health and Human Services.
Trump has blamed Democrats for the separation of children from their parents before. Last week he told Homeland Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen that the breaking up of families occurred because of “bad laws that the Democrats gave us.” more here

Criminals of every stripe are separated from their children every day. Why should illegals be exempt?
So they can all be sent back to their countries together.
Anon – your ANONlogy is a bit off.
We have a problem that needs correcting and this POTUS is the one that is going to do it.
Convicts – criminals your word – are behind bars already i.e they cannot see their children.
Illegal immigrants with children are not behind bars so what does the POTUS DO??
Play ROUND up? Fall into the lib trap?
‘Operation Wetback’ AIN’T happening!
POTUS has employed THOUSANDS of LEGAL immigrants in his prior private business interactions.
He is a father and grandfather.
