Melania "hates to see" families separated at border

Source: The Hill

First lady Melania Trump appeared to express disapproval on Sunday with her husband's administration's policy of separating migrant families who cross the U.S.–Mexico border illegally.

"Mrs. Trump hates to see children separated from their families and hopes both sides of the aisle can finally come together to achieve successful immigration reform. She believes we need to be a country that follows all laws, but also a country that governs with heart," Stephanie Grisham, the first lady's communications director, said in a statement to The Hill.

Grisham's statement was first given to CNN reporter Kate Bennett.

The debate surrounding immigration policy has intensified in recent weeks since the Trump administration announced its "zero tolerance" policy for illegal border crossings.

Maybe she should go down to Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, California.

got her visa as a "special, highly intelligent, needed" worker. Who knew the USA was short on escorts and nude models? Then her communist parents were given visas. What a world, eh? The USA should be a country of law and order, starting with tRump's family of ne'er do wells. His grandpa was a pimp, so tRump has a preference when it comes to women.

Melania is not the problem.

It's the POTUS, not the FLOTUS.

The statement goes on to say that both sides need to work together to solve the problem. This is true because Democrats do not have enough votes to fix it alone.

doesn't hate the separations situation enough to do anything even in her personal life. Then again, drumpt probably has forced her to stay right where she is. What a life she must have! Is all that money worth it, Melania? Shows us just where your heart really is.

Got in on a tourist visa, then worked as a model? We need a campaign to take away her citizenship and send her back to Slovenia. She can take the her son with her.

personally, and it clearly opposes her husband's policy of separating children from their parents. Yes, it's weak, but it is a statement against what is happening.

and was used to make Trump's political point about "both sides coming together".

I doubt if she has given any thought to these families, it would be just too out of character for a member of this family.

35. At the bottom of the article linked to I see Kellyanne has this to say:

Jun 2018

[div class = "excerpt"]
“As a mother, as a Catholic, as somebody who’s got a conscience … I will tell you that nobody likes this policy,” White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press."

“Congress passed the law that it is a crime to enter this country illegally," she added. "So if they don’t like that law, they should change it."


I wonder if anyone's informed her that the U.S. Catholic Bishops are considering denying the sacraments to any Catholic who supports this policy?
