6:55 pm
decision—making of the family taking a desperate measure. but part of the blame is on the trump administrationpolicy treating this asa administrationpolicy treating this as a security crisis rather than treating this as a humanitarian crisis. given that so far it is not proof of any administration that has reduced the number of people who wa nt reduced the number of people who want to, because of the problems back home and the attraction of the united states, people who want to start a new life. what is it about the way those policies are being forced that you think is making the problem worse? we have a long history of security issues at our southern border. this problem began in 2014-15. the southern border. this problem began in 2014—15. the individuals that we re in 2014—15. the individuals that were coming across here are not trained to evade capture facet they surrendering right away making asylu m surrendering right away making asylum claims. i think the administration prospect approach has been utilising security tools of the past, walls, mass detention, in order to prevent the migration. in this instance there is a policy that i think does result in this

government where about whether they should have to provide blankets and toothbrushes for children migration centres was on is there potential problem, and you would know having run ice, that this is an be inadequate for some specially built centres in mexico might be prefera ble centres in mexico might be preferable to the conditions at the border? this is what i was saying about the failure to pivot the way we address our reporter security situation to account for a humanitarian crisis. we are using the old solutions which are in this case border control walk—up facilities. these are facilities, little jails that were designed to hold no more for 24—48 hours. temporary holding cells. there have been converted and over 300 children for weeks at a time. it's not surprising, the fact we are holding them there is unconscionable, they we re them there is unconscionable, they were never designed for that and it is inappropriate to begin with. but
