Donald Trump's poorly-handled reversal on immigration policy still leaves future of 2,000-plus children uncertain

Firstpost  

An embattled Donald Trump — beset on all sides by critics of his immigration policy — reversed the decision to separate immigrant children from their parents on the US-Mexico border, on Wednesday An embattled Donald Trump — beset on all sides by critics of his immigration policy — reversed the decision to separate immigrant children from their parents on the US-Mexico border, on Wednesday. As he signed the executive order to this effect, the US president said, “It’s about keeping families together while at the same time making sure that we have a very powerful, very strong border.” He went on to add, “Ivanka feels very strongly. As CNN pointed out, “Trump’s decision to criminally prosecute all adults caught crossing the border illegally — even if they have children with them — has resulted in thousands of children being separated from their parents and essentially defined as alone, then placed in custody.” It is also being reported that three hundred of these migrant children are being sent to New York City in the coming weeks, with no clear idea of when they will be reunited with their families. All the way from Attorney-General Jeff Sessions’ remarks early in May that, “If you don’t want your child to be separated, then don’t bring them across the border illegally” to Melania Trump’s tasteless sartorial choices during a visit to the US-Mexico border, the Trump administration and those around it, haven’t really given any impression of compassion.
