Trump Vows US Won't Become "Migrant Camp;" Illegal Migrants Crossing Mexican Border Seized

President Donald Trump vowed yesterday that the U.S. would not become a "migrant camp" as he faced mounting pressure to stop families being separated as a deterrent to illegal immigration, The Globe Post website reports today (June 19, 2018).

"The United States will not be a migrant camp, and it will not be a refugee holding facility," Trump said.

"You look at what's happening in Europe, you look at what's happening in other places, we can't allow that to happen to the United States," he added.

About 2,000 children have been separated from their parents or guardians over six weeks, since the Trump administration announced that all migrants illegally crossing the Mexican border would be arrested, regardless of whether the adults were seeking asylum.
