Trump’s immigration counter-programming features “Angel Families”

"These are the American citizens permanently separated from their loved ones. The word you have to think about is 'permanently.'"

What the families said:

• “You don’t hear these stories and some of our media won’t talk to you about it.”
• “All politicians, I don’t care what side you’re on … get it together for God’s sake, for this country, for our citizens.”
• “I am so honored and proud of you Mr. President, the integrity and honor you have shown us … pulling the daggers out of your back every day hasn’t been fair.”
• “I can’t make an opinion about the young people who are here illegally because their parents brought them ... But I can guarantee you that the government had nothing to do with that ... The parents of those children are to blame."
