At a meeting with Republican lawmakers, Trump still dodged responsibility for the family separation policy. “We want security for our country. The Republicans want security, and insist on security for our country,” Trump said Wednesday. “And we will have that at the same time we have compassion, we want to keep families together. It’s very important. I’ll be signing something in a little while that’s going to do that.”
Trump indicated that he’d be working with Congress on a fix and framed the issue as a “dilemma” with two choices: separating families or doing nothing.
“The dilemma is that if you’re weak, if you’re weak, which some people would like you to be, if you’re really, really pathetically weak, the country is going to be overrun with millions of people,” Trump said. “And if you’re strong, then you don’t have any heart. That’s a tough dilemma.”
