CNN reports:
President Trump has again weighed in on the mounting outrage over his administration’s practice of separating children from their families at the southern border, by tweeting about children being “used by some of the worst criminals on earth” to enter the US. Trump has falsely blamed Democrats for his administration’s actions, and said they could put a stop to the family separations by working with Republicans in Congress. Nearly 2,000 immigrant children were separated from parents over a period of about six weeks in April and May, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
It is the Democrats fault for being weak and ineffective with Boarder Security and Crime. Tell them to start thinking about the people devastated by Crime coming from illegal immigration. Change the laws!

Children are being used by some of the worst criminals on earth as a means to enter our country. Has anyone been looking at the Crime taking place south of the border. It is historic, with some countries the most dangerous places in the world. Not going to happen in the U.S.
