President Donald trump said that he will not allow US to become «camp for migrants». This comment followed after the administration was accused in connection with the fact that she shared immigrant children and their parents on the border of USA and Mexico.
Democrats and even some Republicans have criticized trump’s decision on the division of the two thousand children with their parents after the announcement of the White house policy of»zero tolerance» to irregular migrants. And medical professionals, in turn, noted that this practice could cause psychological trauma in children for a long time.

Starting in April, illegally crossing the U.S. border began to be regarded as a criminal offense, so illegal immigrants sent to prison, and their children — the so-called shelters. Trump, who as a candidate talked about the introduction of tough immigration policy, reacted sharply to the accusations in his direction.
«The United States will not be a camp for migrants, they are not a place of detention for refugees. This will not happen. You see what is happening in Europe, you see what is happening in other places — we can’t allow the same thing happened with the United States, not under me,» said trump at a meeting with members of the National space Council.
