This is a Trump policy and he is using it as leverage to try to get Dems to cave on other policies he wants to enact. All of this when the GOP has control of the WH, House and Senate. This is a morally bankrupt and inexcusable action. These are asylum seekers looking to come into the U.S. through proper channels. My grandfather and thousands like him came through Ellis Island to pursue the American dream. Both he and my father immigrated here and both volunteered to serve in thr military (WWII and Vietnam). They were two of the most patriotic men I have ever known. I cannot imagine either of them would recognize the country they fought for had they been alive. No parent who hugs their kids at night should be okay with this draconian policy.
