Under Trump people who try to come here legally are being locked up, and having their children separated from them. This is accomplishing nothing other than costing us more money, sucking down resources, and clogging up courts. Trump and his administration adopted a zero-tolerance policy which hoped to deter people from coming to the United States. It utterly failed. The Trump administration told all of South America that if they come to the United States, we will arrest them - which translates into we will house you, feed you, give you healthcare, and give you clothes while you wait for a court date which could take years. The more people heard this the more they came until our entire immigration system was overwhelmed.

This is exactly what happens when you have a incompetent administration in power.

What did you expect when you put a failed businessman and former game show host in the Oval Office.

The best part is building a wall won't even begin to fix this.
