President Donald Trump claimed his administration is doing a “fantastic job” at the country’s southern border days after a Justice Department lawyer argued against providing detained migrant children with toothbrushes or beds.
“This has been happening long before I got there,” the president said. “What we’ve done is we’ve ... ended separation. You know, under President Obama you had separation. I was the one that ended it.” Chuck Todd: “Why let the political debate hurt these children?” But his administration has continued to separate hundreds of migrant kids from their family members because of questionable claims of danger, the Houston Chronicle reported Saturday.
Because of the budget cut, the minor detainees ― many of whom arrived in the U.S. unaccompanied by their parents ― will no longer have access to recess, education or legal services.“We’re doing a fantastic job under the circumstances,” the president told NBC News before accusing Democrats of “holding up the humanitarian aid.”
