Concentration Camps: u.s.-Mexico Border and Signs Reading

concentration camps: They carried signs reading No more children in cages, and What's next Concentration Camps In major cities and tiny towns, hundreds of thousands of marchers gathered Saturday across America, moved by accounts of children separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border, in the latest act of mass resistance against President Donald Trump's immigration policies, according to The Chronicle Herald. Protesters flooded more than 700 marches, from immigrant-friendly cities like New York and Los Angeles to conservative Appalachia and Wyoming. They shook their fists in the air. They gathered on the front lawn of a Border Patrol station in McAllen, Texas, near a detention centre where migrant children were being held in cages, and on a street corner near Trump's golf resort at Bedminster, New Jersey, where the president is spending the weekend. His zero tolerance policy led officials to take more than 2,000 children from their parents as they tried to enter the country illegally, most of them fleeing violence, persecution or economic collapse in their home countries. Trump has backed away from family separations amid bipartisan and international uproar. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
