For just a fleeting moment, the truth

Trump on family separation

Trump spoke the truth moments ago.

"We want to solve family separation, and I don't want the children to be taken away from parents, and when you are prosecute the parents for coming in illegally, which should happen, you have to take the children away."

From the same story, more meanness and lies.

"When countries abuse us by sending people up — not their best — we’re not going to give any more aid to those countries," he said at a small business event in Washington. "Why should we?"

. . . .

Trump claims the press is assisting criminal immigrants: "They are helping these smugglers and these traffickers like nobody would believe"

. . . .

"They come up through Mexico. Mexico does nothing for us. You hear it here: They do nothing for us. They could stop it. They have very, very strong laws. Try staying in Mexico for a couple of days, see how long that lasts. OK? They do nothing for us."

Mexico is desperately poor and beset with vast cartel violence.

If you were fleeing such violence in Guatemala or Honduras, you might flee through Mexico, but who would flee to Mexico?
