The media has been on the attack in regard to the situation at the southern border. In true Trump fashion, the president responded, and with the fire and fury that we have grown accustomed to.
.@realDonaldTrump:” Democrats love open borders. ‘Let the whole world come in… MS-13, gang members from all over the place, come on in!'”

According to The Daily Caller:
Donald Trump told a group of business leaders Tuesday that the news media is helping smugglers and human traffickers deliver migrants into the United States.
Trump spoke in the middle of media outrage over the administration enforcing America’s border laws — which has the consequence of separating some families at the border in order to prosecute the illegal immigrant adults.
…
“We don’t want people pouring into our country. We want them to come in through the process, through the legal system, and we want ultimately a merit-based system where people come in based on merit,” Trump said, “Keep in mind, those who apply for asylum legally at ports of entry are not prosecuted. The fake news media back there doesn’t talk about that.”
Trump continued to the laughing audience, “They are fake. They are helping, they are helping these smugglers and these traffickers like nobody would believe. They know it, they know exactly what they’re doing, and it should be stopped.”
These people have violated the law, and the Trump Administration is holding them accountable for that. The children affected at the border are being put in this situation by their parents, a legal way for asylum exists where the parent and child are not separated.
