Five Thirty Eight:

The Trump administration’s policy of separating children from their parents as part of its border-enforcement strategy is generating widespread opposeparating children from their parentssition, even from people who have traditionally been allies of the president. It has forced the administration to defend an approach that polls terribly  and results in images of children in cages and accounts of breastfeeding kids being taken away from their mothers.

It seems like bad politics.

So why do it? The administration’s explanations aren’t much help here. President Trump said he hates the separations and falsely claimed that they’re the product of laws passed by Democrats.
