Minority Party: Trump and Zero-Tolerance Policy

minority party: Images of children held in fenced cages fueled a growing chorus of condemnation from both political parties, four former first ladies and national evangelical leaders, according to CTV. The children are being held separately from parents who are being prosecuted under the administration's zero-tolerance policy for illegal border crossings. Calling for tough action against illegal immigration, Trump declared the U.S. will not be a migrant camp on his watch. Trump on Monday falsely blamed Democrats -- the minority party in Washington -- for obstructing legislation to fix the situation. I say it's very strongly the Democrats' fault, Trump said Monday as his administration rejected criticism that the policy has resulted in inhuman and immoral conditions. In fact, it was Trump's administration that broke with longstanding practice of processing migrant families in civil, rather than criminal, proceedings that allow families to be held together.
