White House officials say the Democrats’ insistence on open-border migration forces U.S. border agencies to house children separately from their detained parents until judges can decide whether to send them home. “The cruel and inhumane open borders policies of the Democratic Party are responsible … [and] lead to the temporary separation of illegal alien families, because they refuse to close border loopholes that prevent those families from being swiftly returned home,” said a Sunday evening statement from Hogan Gidley, deputy spokesman for the White House.
Gidley also said the Democrats’ policies are:
enabling horrendous child smuggling, and releasing violent MS-13 gang members into American communities. Their lawless policies spread human suffering and finance criminal cartels … Democrat policies also result in the permanent separation of American families— who have to bury loved ones because of the criminals Democrat policies allow in to this country.
“Sadly, Democrats openly oppose simple fixes to federal law that would stop the illegal migrant crisis and end the magnet for unlawful migration,” said Gidley.
The tough statement comes amid Democrats’ outrage at President Donald Trump’s new effort to close the “catch and release” loopholes created by the 1997 Flores legal settlement.
