Willie Geist: Trump Admin Separation Policy Is ‘a Premeditated, Intentional Policy’

EXCERPT:

GEIST: "This is a policy. We’ve said it a million times over the last couple of weeks. This is a policy that the Trump Administration could with a red line eliminate this morning. The President could do that, he could stop this. Let's be clear about that. The other thing we should be clear about is that this is intentional. This is about deterrence. As you just pointed out, Jeff Sessions said so out loud, Stephen Miller has said so out loud. Time and again you ask Republicans, you say, 'Why are you doing this?' The phrase I hear is that it’s, quote, a tough deterrent. That this is going to stop people from entering this country illegally. This is a premeditated, intentional policy. The idea that it’s cooked up by Democrats or that it's Congress’ fault is totally false."
