Ignatius: The Worst Was When Trump on Easter Sunday Turned DACA Kids into ‘Bargaining Chips’

‘It’s been a depressing, disturbing process’

EXCERPT:

IGNATIUS: "Just to say one final point, to me the worst of this was that on Easter Sunday, a day when we try to reflect deeply, we had the President basically taking these kids who have done nothing, who have been here in this country at least 11 years, who are blameless, who are just living here trying to do their work, turning them into bargaining chips and saying, 'I’m not going to do anything about those DREAMers until they build my wall.' And suddenly human beings were in this really brutal effort to give him the win that he has decided that he has to have. It’s been a depressing, disturbing process. But again, it has real world consequences for people.”
