Flags Return of Family SeparationsIf you are looking out for Reichstag Smoke, a minor incursion into Mexico would spark a crisis that would wipe Khashoggi and everything else bar Wall Street off the front pages.
Trump says he is considering a new family separation policy at U.S.-Mexico border
President Trump confirmed Saturday that he is considering a new family separation policy at the U.S.-Mexico border because he believes the administrations earlier move to separate migrant children from parents was an effective deterrent to illegal crossings.
Asked to respond to a report in The Washington Post that the administration is weighing a new family-separation policy, Trump told reporters, Were looking at everything that you could look at when it comes to illegal immigration.
Trump said the soaring number of illegal border crossings is a terrible situation and argued that family separations likely would help scare away some undocumented migrants from trying to enter the United States.
If they feel there will be separation, they wont come, Trump said.

(7,277 posts)I said if you were looking for a crisis prior to the electisons analogous to the Reichstag fire, this would fit the bill. Turn the whole conversation back to immigration. Open borders etc.
Trump hasnt reinstated family separations either. Kites in the wind.
