According to new reporting from The Associated Press, three "tender age" detention facilities have been created -- specifically for babies and toddlers separated from their rightful parents who have been arrested near the U.S.-Mexico border. Peaceful protests both within and around the Capitol Building have been steadily increasing as Congress continues to falter on a conclusive piece of legislation revamping the country's treatment of, and detention policy for, families crossing the southern border of the United States, illegally. Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) joins the panel, this morning, to chide the slow-moving and floundering Department of Homeland Security on these, in his own words, "child internment camps," and President Donald Trump on why he hasn't stepped in to bring this crisis to an end. Morning Joe Resident Economic Analyst Steve Rattner also joins us -- fact-checking the President's spouted-falsehoods regarding recent immigration statistics. |
