And he admits it, by saying he'll stop it, if Congress gives him money to put up his vanity wall.

and that will do what, exactly?
how will that address the problem of illegal immigration?
Put an end to his policy of abusing kids to get even with their parents.
It wouldn't. But it would stop child abuse. Not likely he'll do that willingly. As you now realize he has a history of trying to harm kids to get even with parents. That's the kind of person he is. In the case of his nephew's kid, a judge had to step in and order him to stop it.

because then those kids will go where?
into detention facilities with their parents?
as you learned, bammy tried that and the courts slapped him on the wrist

then it's a pretty bad step to take, isn't it?
returning to the failed mess of bammy's eight years of ineffective fumbling doesn't seem like a step toward solving the illegal immigration problem.

Clearly, you have no desire to read facts, and prefer your fake news. :Christine:

What's not being talked about enough imo is that first time illegal border crossings are misdemeanors, which shouldn't be enough to take children from their parents. Requests for asylum shouldn't separate families either, but that's what's happening.

you don't think irresponsible parents who put their children at risk should have their custody rights taken away?
or do you just totally ignore the dangers those kids have been exposed to crossing mexico, land of the violent drug gangs?
bammy tried keeping them together and the federal judges slapped him silly

In the context of immigration: No.
And how easy for you say it, sitting safely behind your keyboard.
These parents are leaving the place that has more danger for them than the place they're trying to reach.
Since when have you cared?

how about in the context of escaping poverty by making your child work? is that ok with you?
:banana:
that's an unproven assumption - many illegal immigrants are just seeking better financial opportunities
about what?
It's instructive that his latest abuse, that of separating children from their parents, has lost him the support of many evangelicals who formerly supported him.
More than two dozen of the largest religious groups in the U.S. are imploring the Trump administration to change its "zero tolerance" policy that leads to children being separated from parents caught illegally crossing the border.
And during an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network this week, Franklin Graham, a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump, said the practice of separating families was “disgraceful.”
The growing list of religious leaders and organizations writing letters and making statements includes several leading evangelical churches and institutions, which often align themselves with Republicans politically.
"As evangelical Christians guided by the Bible, one of our core convictions is that God has established the family as the fundamental building block of society. The state should separate families only in the rarest of instances,” Russell Moore, President of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, and other evangelical leaders wrote in a group letter to the White House.
The letter, also signed by the National Association of Evangelicals, Council for Christian Colleges and Universities, National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference and others, went on to call the “traumatic effects” of separation potentially “devastating,” “long-lasting,” and “of utmost concern.”

Someone remarked that the religious right would put up with any kind of corruption from Trump. But it appears they draw the line at abusing children. This issue seems to be separating the followers of Jesus from the "cultural Christians."

such as when the parents involve the children in the commission of a crime?
such as when the parents put their children's lives at risk by illegally transiting violence-prone Mexico?
Well, it's about time.

Heartbreaking. This administration is evil. Those who voted it into power for just this reason are evil and those who just didn't want Hillary are complicit with evil.
Listen to Children Who’ve Just Been Separated From Their Parents at the Border
The desperate sobbing of 10 Central American children, separated from their parents one day last week by immigration authorities at the border, makes for excruciating listening. Many of them sound like they’re crying so hard, they can barely breathe. They scream “Mami” and “Papá” over and over again, as if those are the only words they know.
The baritone voice of a Border Patrol agent booms above the crying. “Well, we have an orchestra here,” he jokes. “What’s missing is a conductor.”
Then a distraught but determined 6-year-old Salvadoran girl pleads repeatedly for someone to call her aunt. Just one call, she begs anyone who will listen. She says she’s memorized the phone number, and at one point, rattles it off to a consular representative. “My mommy says that I’ll go with my aunt,” she whimpers, “and that she’ll come to pick me up there as quickly as possible.”
An audio recording obtained by ProPublica adds real-life sounds of suffering to a contentious policy debate that has so far been short on input from those with the most at stake: immigrant children. More than 2,300 of them have been separated from their parents since April, when the Trump administration launched its “zero tolerance” immigration policy, which calls for prosecuting all people who attempt to illegally enter the country and taking away the children they brought with them. More than 100 of those children are under the age of 4. The children are initially held in warehouses, tents or big box stores that have been converted into Border Patrol detention facilities.

Exploiting these children being smuggled over the border as sex slaves is big business. The progressives don't seem to mind that any more than they mind ripping children from the wombs of their mothers. That's sad. :nono:
No one is buying the excuses. Even many evangelicals are breaking with Trump over this, and his party is starting to distance themselves from him.

As you may know, some families seeking asylum from their home country cross the US border illegally and then request asylum. In an attempt to discourage this, the Trump administration has been prosecuting the parents immediately, which means separating parents from their children. Do you support or oppose this policy?

Former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci has become the latest Trump ally to urge the president to bring an end to the policy of separating families at the Mexican border. “[Trump] has to step in there and has to end this thing because I think it is an atrocious policy. It’s inhumane, it’s offensive to the average American. When you think about American values, it does not represent American values.” Scaramucci’s intervention came the morning after comments from first lady Melania Trump, who said there has to be more “heart” in her husband's border policy, and former first lady Laura Bush, who called the forced separation policy “cruel” and “immoral.”
