Trump Slams 'Fake News' and Democrats Over His Own Border Policy: They Want 'Open Borders'

Here we go again.

President Trump is back on Twitter and taking aim at the real villains in the controversy surrounding his administration’s policy of breaking migrant families apart at the border. This is president’s own policy and he could address the issue without having to wait for a new immigration bill from Congress first, but it wouldn’t be a Trump tweet if he didn’t triple down by blaming Democrats and the “fake news” media.

I don't see or hear any coverage of what these people have been through on their journey to the border. Where they are from, what initiated their coming etc..
