Trump's wife criticizes her husband's immigration policy

In a rare statement on political issues, US First Lady Melania Trump criticized her husband's immigration policy, which has led to the immigration crisis Washington is facing.

US First Lady Melania Trump criticized the immigration policy of US President Donald Trump's administration, which led to the immigration crisis that Washington is facing, CNN news agency reported. This statement by Melania Trump was released by her spokesperson.

“Mrs. Trump hates to see children separated from their families and hopes that both sides can finally work together to achieve successful immigration reform. She also expressed her views on the need for us to be a country that follows the rules but also a country with a government that has a heart,” said Stephanie Grisham, the first lady’s spokeswoman.

The US immigration policy has resulted in 2,000 children being separated from their parents and guardians and forced into child care centers, a spokesman for the US Department of Homeland Security said. This has sparked a wave of fierce protests from the American people against Washington's policy.

US President Donald Trump has repeatedly blamed Democrats for the current crisis, despite immigration policy changes made by his administration.

“The Democrats can fix their forced separation of families at the Border by working with Republicans on new legislation for change,” US President Donald Trump posted on Twitter, along with a harsh criticism of the Democrats./.
