White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders used Thursdays media briefing to repeat the administrations claim that splitting up families at the U.S.-Mexico border was warranted because its the law.
The only problem with that answer is that it is patently false.
The response, given to CNNs Jim Acosta who demanded to know why the government was taking such actions, was used by President Donald Trump in a tweet last month in which he claimed there is a horrible law that separates children from there [sic] parents at the border.
However, there is no law ordering the division of migrant families, according to PolitiFact. The rule to which Sanders appears to have been referring is the administrations zero-tolerance policy on illegal immigration, calling for authorities to prosecute those who do not cross the border legally.............

President Donald Trump has said Democrats need to be pressured to end a "horrible law" that separates children from their parents at U.S. borders.
But Democrats including Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley counter that Trump is the one to blame for a "cruel new child separation policy."
What exactly is going on?
There is no law mandating the separation of families, contrary to Trumps claims.
However, the Trump administration has introduced a "zero-tolerance" policy calling for the prosecution of all individuals who illegally enter the United States..........................................

(1,242 posts)the darker your skin is. You know what IS the law? Equal protection and protection from the cruel and unusual. Do we really need to wait for a supreme court line up who is willing to rule that separating infants from mothers requesting asylum is cruel?

(22,143 posts)these people are full of it, constantly. They are not to be believed, trusted, or anything for that matter. Anybody want to donate to rump's charity, eh?
What a lawbreaker and pocketing charity monies for his own use. This is a felony if you sign your tax return stating that all is materially correct in the return. I mean a felony w/ rump in that he's using these so called charities for his own personal use, and not that of a charity. A scammer and a tax cheat, plain and simple, and the IRS should go after him aggressively on, after all, this is how they got Al Capone, tax evasion.
Who among us really believes that rump made up his charity numbers on his tax returns based on actual charity giving? He padded the numbers, he gave a lot of this so called charity to himself, and otherwise, fraud all around.

(22,143 posts)and it's not exciting or anything near the like of. I couldn't imagine working in such an environment...for that matter too, working as a cpa accountant is the same (my Mom) ... I guess when it comes to paying out money, people sure change their stripes awful quickly. My friends by the way, the vast majority no longer work in the IRS, too stressful...my Mom, retired.
I definitely agree w/ your assessment that our courts will be loaded for years w/ both civil and criminal suits in many different aspects w/ many different rump involved personal, and this is not all of it yet...we've still yet to see the conclusion of the Mueller investigation(s?).
Take care and stay cool!
