Скачать или смотреть Dems: Separating Families at Border is Inhumane

(6 Jun 2018) Democrats say the Trump administration's accelerating policy of separating children from their parents after they cross the U.S. border with Mexico is inhumane and must stop.
The Trump administration has adopted a new "zero tolerance" policy that has accelerated separations of children and their parents at the border. The policy, announced in April by Attorney General Jeff Sessions, directs authorities to prosecute all instances of illegal border crossings.
The issue has fanned a political debate in the United States ahead of midterm congressional elections in the fall.
While the policy doesn't make mention of separating families, U.S. protocol prohibits detaining children with their parents because the children are not charged with a crime and the parents are.
Texas Rep. Joaquín Castro said that many of the families who become separated are seeking asylum within the U.S.
Castro also argued that it's up to the president to stop enforcing the policy. Trump has placed blame on the Democrats recently tweeting that the separation of families is the "fault of bad legislation passed by the Democrats."
