    I was inside the detention center that separated more kids from any other. FLOTUS was in McAllen but didn’t go there. There is *nothing* phony about kids alone in a cage supervised by a security contractor in a watch tower. I saw it myself.

    We must maintain a Strong Southern Border. We cannot allow our Country to be overrun by illegal immigrants as the Democrats tell their phony stories of sadness and grief, hoping it will help them in the elections. Obama and others had the same pictures, and did nothing about it!

    The Obama administration *did* use those horrifying cages to house detained migrants and families. But never children alone as part of a systematic policy to take them away from their parents. Never. Never. Never. Never.

    my incredible colleague , whose reporting on migrant family separations *months* ago first put the spotlight on the policy that ripped these kids away from their parents. Everything we were able to do on the ground this week was thanks in large part to her.

    And where the other 2,000 kids ripped from their parents are.

    500 immigrant children have been reunited with their loved ones, but it's unclear how many of those families are still in detention centers.

    Thank you for leading the way on this issue, and for having me on back in NYC with you tonight. A cluster, indeed.

    I am convinced that without sustained public pressure and/or litigation they are simply not going to reunite these families.

    Attorneys launch a frantic effort to reunite immigrant parents with their separated kids, but find few of the children their parents are seeking

    She also skipped the visit to CBP detention, so she did not see the children in cages as you did

    There were reportedly six kids who had been separated from their parents at the McAllen shelter FLOTUS visited. They likely don’t know if or when they will see their parents again. Would love to know what she said to them, if anything.

    🚨 The 17 people might not have gotten charged, but their children WERE ALREADY TAKEN from them. The kids were removed 2-3 days before the parents faced charges. We still need to reunite them.

    BREAKING: According to a source in federal court in McCallen, 17 people who were going to be charged with misdemeanor entry this morning are now *not* being charged because they are “heads of households” aka, came with kids.

    . just told there are 239 kids who were separated from their parents who were brought from the border all the way to New York City. That’s around 2,000 away from their parents. If mom or dad wasn’t already deported.

    All of this to say when Trump tweets “The Border has been a big mess and problem for many years” — I genuinely don’t think he knows what he’s talking about. That, or he’s just lying.

    And while Trump is obsessed with migrants coming to the US through our southern border, the largest number of people coming here illegally are flying — from Asia.

    POTUS budget wants billions for border wall. But since 2007 more immigrants overstay visas than cross Mexico border.

    Another — to February of 2017 — when we explained how a wall won’t even stop drugs from “pouring” across the border, as Trump likes to say. They’re coming through legal ports of entry — places *surrounded* by walls.

    POTUS wants to fight drug crisis w border wall. But most illegal drugs come via *legal* border crossings, as I saw.

    to July 2016, when we first pointed out on ’s that the border crisis Trump wants everyone to believe is happening doesn’t actually exist. Not even close.

    Border Patrol took me to spot on US/Mexico border with no wall. They say apprehensions at record lows without it.
