Gov. Cuomo: Separation Policy Is About Trump ‘Playing Macho to a Base’

EXCERPT:

CUOMO: "So it was not catch and release or put them in a cage. That was never the choice. This was all politics. This was a president who ran on this issue and wants to say, 'I’m going to be tough on the border.' That’s all this is. It’s playing macho to a base that has been inflamed against immigrants and infestation of immigrants. It’s in violation of the law. There are much better ways to do it and you used 2,500 children as pawns. You put them all over the country. I’m saying as a governor, they’re in my state, it’s my constitutional responsibility to take care of their health and welfare. Why won’t you tell me where they are?"
