We're way past Godwin now, Trump is now a exceptionalist racist cypher onto himself.
What she neglected to mention as she tried to shift the blame, is that asylum seekers are being told that they will not be processed at a port of entry, so they end up turning themselves to a Border Patrol agent elsewhere, and are then arrested for crossing the border. If this duplicitous policy sounds like something out of Kafka or Orwell, it should.

Under the direction of Donald Trump and Attorney-General Jeff Sessions, the U.S. government has snatched roughly 2,000 children of asylum seekers from their parents – including an infant girl who was taken from her wailing mother while breastfeeding – and put them in detention camps. They are there for the crime of existing, as migrant children fleeing foreign violence and oppression, in Mr. Trump’s United States.
The boys are being housed in what used to be a Walmart, where they are allowed outside for two hours a day. (No one seems to know where the girls and the babies are.) Mr. Trump’s regime showed the boys’ centre to reporters, highlighting a mural of Mr. Trump – the man responsible for these children losing their families and freedom – plastered on the wall.
We’re told by Mr. Trump’s backers to feel good about the conditions of the camp – to cheer that migrants have TV and snacks and video games instead of mothers or fathers or siblings.
