IMMIGRANTS: Second that emotion

| July 4, 2018 1:00 AM

Thank you John Rubert for your article dated July 1, 2018, entitled “ADLER: Check his facts.” President Trump is enforcing EXISTING immigration laws.

It is not President Trump’s “design” to separate children from parents as it is precedent by other administrations and that was considered the norm by using Public Law 107-296 Nov. 25, 2002, 116 stat 2205. Key to note in Section 1325 in Title 8 of the United States Code are laws revolving around illegal entry or overstaying.

This separation of children from parents has only been brought to light for political purposes from the extreme left that seems to be against President Trump. The responsibility of the parents bringing their children here for illegal entry has not been mentioned.

Mr. Adler and your mirror … MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL, who is right and who is wrong?
