President Trump’s Lack of Empathy, Lawlessness on Immigration

Maria Cardona on the Hill hits the nail on the head in analyzing President Trump’s approach to immigration:

“The way Trump speaks about the situation on the border betrays not only a sad lack of empathy and understanding for what these migrants are going through and the reality of what they are fleeing, it shows an infuriating lack of knowledge about our own immigration laws, their impact, and what can and should be done to change them.

It seems President Trump is only interested in continuing to use the immigration situation to his own advantage, as applause lines at his rallies and by using them as scapegoats and to perpetuate a draconian view of immigrants that is neither American nor can be sustained with empirical evidence.”
