President Trump has sought to blame his predecessors George Bush and Barack Obama for his policy of separating immigrant children from their parents along the border with Mexico. Trump also said that the issue of illegal immigration “is a problem that should have been solved years ago,” accusing the Democrats of being “obstructionists.” Heartbreaking images and audio of children separated from their parents and crying for their loved ones while being held in chain-link fence cages have stoked outrage across the political spectrum in the United States and abroad.
