President Trump on Monday doubled down on his controversial policy of separating children from parents when families illegally cross the border, while also calling on Congress to change laws to end it.
In a series of tweets, Trump appeared to justify the strategy by claiming criminals are using children in a Trojan horsestyle operation to cross the U.S. border.
Children are being used by some of the worst criminals on earth as a means to enter our country, he wrote. Has anyone been looking at the Crime taking place south of the border. It is historic, with some countries the most dangerous places in the world. Not going to happen in the U.S.
Trump also warned that the U.S. must avoid the migration problems affecting Europe and blasted the policies and government of Germany, a close ally.
The president falsely claimed that crime in Germany is is way up and said migrants have so strongly and violently changed their culture, a phenomenon he said is generating backlash overseas.

Is there an actual breakdown of the ages of these “traumatized” children? Most of the recent pictures show teenagers.
“The president falsely claimed that crime in Germany is is way up and said migrants have so strongly and violently changed their culture, a phenomenon he said is generating backlash overseas.”
Now the News is denying the news....
Has The Hill ever heard of Google?
The democrats and the bought and paid for Establishment Republicans are going to try and use this to ram through amnesty because of the children. Trump will veto and they will attempt to override. Whether he wins the veto or not will not matter, the conservatives of the base will not come out and vote for the Republican lackeys of the chamber of corruption in the general election.
In the end the establishment will eventually turn us into Germany and they may actually get to try and impeach Trump. The GOP are whipped losers so losing the congress won’t faze them in the least. They don’t know how to lead, beta males.
They should DNA test them and if the adults are not related to the kids, jail the adults and put the kids up for adoption.
Does the BBC read their own writings?
Germany: Migrants ‘may have fuelled violent crime rise’
Migrants may be responsible for most of a recent rise in violent crime in Germany, research commissioned by the government suggests.
The study used data from Lower Saxony, a state where more than 90% of the rise was attributed to young male migrants.
The researchers say the findings are not surprising because many migrants who arrived in Germany in recent years are single males aged 14-30.
Trump was wrong about crime being way up in Germany? Notice they didn’t include any links to statistics.
There is no such "family separation policy."

What do they mean he's "claiming" it? It is an absolute fact and a very serious problem they should be widely reporting themselves to inform the public, not merely repeat something Trump says and then say he's "claiming it." This is absurd! Journalism continues to hit new lows just when you thought they hit the bottom. Children being exploited doesn't fit the narrative to harm Trump, so let's not report it as a factual event but rather something Trump might be making up - who cares about the kids? How can we use it to hurt Trump?
A lot of selective amnesia.
Sort of like how when Clinton was President it was regarded as common knowledge Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden were in cahoots. Then after Bush becomes President there is "no evidence" of it and Bush was making it all up. And now, the same organizations widely reporting about kids being separated from parents during the Obama years can no longer recall it and report it is a new policy made up by the Trump administration.
