8:05 pm
a former wal-mart that you see behind me huge huge facility and inside are about fifteen hundred kids all boys and out of those fifteen hundred we're told by a local lawmaker that toured it yesterday that about one hundred and ten are children that were separated and are currently separated from their parents or legal guardians because of this new zero tolerance policy that's been put in place the facility that you see behind me is a private facility run by a private organization a private company basically but it's over the auspices of the whole health and human services department essentially the u.s. government and business is the facility that's really overflowing with young migrant children right now these are children that cross the border with their parents children usually between ten to eighteen years old roughly in that range crossed the border. seeking asylum with their parents and instead of being
8:06 pm
detained in a civil matter which was how it used to be done in years past it's now under tolerance considered a criminal matter and they're treated as criminal criminals the parents and they are taken away and separated from their kids the parents are put in one detention facility as they go through the court system and see a judge immediately the kids are brought here to this facility and just to give you an idea there's been about two thousand children not just boys but girls as well that have been separated from their parents in the last two months or so and a lot of people just simply don't know where all these kids are we know some of them are here but even when the local lawmaker came in here and spoke to some officials he couldn't even get complete answers on where some of the other kids rats spread out invisibility in facilities just like this all over the southwest. despite the growing outrage the white house shows no sign of backing down defending its zero tolerance policy and his treatment of the children. yes.
8:07 pm
we now care for them we have high standards we give them meals we give them education we give them medical care there's videos there's t.v.'s and visited the detention centers myself that would give me answer to that much. less a white house correspondent can really help it can really present trump is currently talking about this what's he been saying the president speaking across town for a convention of the national federation of independent businesses and he is defending his policy of zero tolerance and the prosecution of those who enter the united states illegally in fact despite the growing moral outrage over this policy in the enforcement of this policy that has been in place for more than ten years but was always considered a last resort the president saying that essentially the immigrants that are coming to the united states are gaming the system that they are not the best and the brightest and that he doesn't want to prosecute them he doesn't want them to come
8:08 pm
in the first place because they are putting an enormous strain on the u.s. taxpayer will these comments have certainly provoked outrage particularly on the southern border with mexico the foreign minister of mexico in fact saying that the policies of the trumpet ministration are cruel and inhumane. i would like to express in the name of the people and government of mexico most cancer and energetic condemnation of what is a cruel and inhuman policy mexico fully recognizes the united states sovereignty and its capacity to decide its own way of dealing with immigration the mexican government does not in any way promote illegal immigration however we cannot be indifferent to what clearly represents a violation of human rights and can put children including disabled children in

situations of danger and vulnerability and trump is due to go to capitol hill later to discuss immigration with lawmakers to achieve. well he's been blaming democrats for this crisis saying that it is the party that has been dragging its heels and this is why the situation is as it is right now essentially both parties have been dragging their heels for some twenty years and so the president headed to capitol hill to speak with republican lawmakers about two immigration bills that are on the agenda possibly considered voting or there will be voting very shortly but they're not bipartisan means that there's really very little chance that these would become law in the midst of all of this the democrats particularly top democrats like nancy pelosi in the house of representatives and call a harris senator and democratic senator are calling for the resignation of kiersten nielson the department of homeland security secretary kucing her of essentially not
