“They look so innocent. They’re not innocent.”- Mason Crumpacker

Summary:  Administration officials claim that the unaccompanied minors are taking advantage of loopholes in the current immigration system.  Minors may not be indefinitely detained and rarely appear for their court hearings after released.  Estimates show that fewer then 4% of unaccompanied minors are ever deported.  President Trump warned at a roundtable meeting on Wednesday that these unaccompanied immigrant minors are vulnerable to gang recruitment.  Trump has focused much of his immigration reform and anti-crime rhetoric on the infamous MS-13 gang calling them " animals."  Conversely, immigration advocates claim the children in question are asylum seekers fleeing violence in their home countries and do not significantly contribute to gang related violence.

Analysis: Trump's tough stance against illegal immigration was a leading cause of his campaign victory.  His continued attacks on illegal immigration serve to embolden and invigorate his base.  However, many in the immigrate community object to his strong and divisive language saying it "dehumanizes" immigrants.  Trump risks also activating his opposition whenever he attacks the immigrant community.
