Former President Bill Clinton this week slammed President Trump's "zero tolerance" policy that resulted in separating families at the border, saying that "children should not be bargaining chips."
Taking these kids away from their parents makes no sense, Clinton said Thursday at an event for his new book in Chicago, according to CNN. Its wrong. Its immoral. Its not required by the law. And its not necessary to protect the border. Its just wrong."
He added that children should not be bargaining chips," and that "they are people."
"I not only want this to stop, I want them to go get these kids that have already been sent away and give them back to their parents and do it right now," he said.
Clinton's condemnation of the policy comes two days after the president signed an executive order to end a policy that resulted in thousands of children being separated from their parents. It is not yet clear how or when the families already divided under the policy will be reunited. The administration began implementing the policy widely in April.
Trump signed the order after facing increasing pressure from Republican and Democratic lawmakers. Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was one of the many people to criticize the policy and Trump's defense of it earlier this week.
Separating families is not mandated by law at all. That is an outright lie," she said. "Its incumbent on all of us, journalists and citizens alike, to call it just that.
Many lawmakers continue to question the Trump administration over the policy. On Thursday, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) tweeted that Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen privately told lawmakers that despite Trump signing an executive order, the practice of separating families could continue.

Trump should tweet “Some say Bill Clinton went to Epstein’s orgy island on numerous occasion. Epstein was convicted of having sex with minors on that island. Not saying it means Bill Clinton had sex with minors when he was there. But still.. What other reason would he have for flying down there on Epstein’s private jet 11 times? He should have to explain his reasons.”
