Reuters: Trump says he will not let U.S. become 'migrant camp'
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday he would not allow the United States to become a “migrant camp” as his administration faced a barrage of criticism for separating immigrant children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Democrats and some in Trump’s own Republican Party have admonished the administration for dividing nearly 2,000 children from their parents between mid-April and the end of May. Medical professionals have said the practice could cause lasting trauma to children.
The family separations are the result of Trump’s “zero tolerance” policy that arrests all adults who are caught trying to enter the United States illegally, including those seeking asylum.

Would Canada be mad if the US facilitated the train ride for all of these refugees from Mexico to the Canadian border? We sure appreciate Mexico doing the same thing to us.
you seem not to know what this is about
Would Canada separate children from parents for those not sneaking in but seeking admission as refugees
They are not just magically appearing at the border, Mexico is shipping them up there as fast as they can...I wonder why? I didn't realize that the US is expected to house families in federal detention...is that a new law, I think they do that in Mexico and other third world countries.
"Mexico is shipping them up there as fast as they can...I wonder why?".. that's the dumbest s#$t I've ever read. Typical rube.
