I don't understand how Trump or the Republicans can do this. 700 children have been separated at last count since Trump took office. 1500 children are missing and their whereabouts unknown. Parents have little recourse to find their children. There are agencies that try to help, but fighting the administration is difficult. I realize that Trump is angry because he has not received the billions of dollars he wants to build his big wall. Americans have always welcomed immigrants. I realize we need a workable immigration policy but hurting children and their mothers is not the way to go about it. Trump's mother and his current wife were all immigrants. Other countries have problems with immigration too but I have not heard or read that taking away children from their families was something they were doing.
I wish the American Academy of Pediatrics would speak out strongly and even try to meet with Trump and the leaders of the Republican party. Someone or people in power needs to start making a lot of noise. I wonder what the people in other civilized countries think about Americans these days? Trump seems to badly want the Nobel peace prize. perhaps he could do something to help the poor mothers at the border?
