WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump won’t take responsibility for the consequences of an immigration policy that is separating children from parents who are arrested for illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. He persists in blaming a “Democrat” law for driving families apart, though no such law exists.
In remarks to reporters and in an interview with Fox News, he held firm to a contention he’s made, falsely and for weeks, holding Democrats responsible for splitting up migrant families.
TRUMP on Friday:
“The Democrats forced that law upon our nation. I hate it. I hate to see separation of parents and children.”
“I hate the children being taken away. The Democrats have to change their law. That’s their law.”
“That’s the Democrats’ law. We can change it tonight. We can change it right now.”
“That’s a Democrat bill. That’s Democrats wanting to do that and they could solve it very easily by getting together.”
“That’s the law and that’s what the Democrats gave us and we’re willing to change it today if they want to get in and negotiate but they just don’t want to negotiate.”
THE FACTS:
Repeating the assertion does not make it true. The Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy is responsible for spurring family separations. No law mandates it.
