The Trump administration is releasing its plan for putting back together the thousands of families it separated at the border -- but the reunions won't happen quickly. CNN's Jake Tapper discusses with his panel on State of the Union.

President Donald Trump explicitly compared the tragedy of families whose relatives have been killed by undocumented immigrants to the family separations at the border, saying that the “angel families” are “permanently separated” from their family members. “These are the American citizens permanently separated from their loved ones, the word ‘permanently’ being the one you have to think about,” Trump said Friday afternoon at an event with the family members. They’re permanently separated.” The event came at the end of a controversial week for Trump and his Administration’s immigration policies. “We weren’t lucky enough to be separated for five days [or] ten days, we’re separated permanently,” said Laura Wilkerson, whose 18-year-old son was killed in 2010. “Your loss will not have been in vain,” he told the group. “We will secure our borders… We’re going to have a safe country and your loved ones are going to be playing— and will continue to play— a big part in it.” (Data disputes the notion that immigrants raise crime rates in the U.S.) Trump also promoted the office his Administration created at the Department of Homeland Security dealing with immigrant crime called VOICE (Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement). He said VOICE, launched last year by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, was set up to help victims receive information on their perpetrators. “Let’s work together and get this done, all politicians, I don’t care what side you’re on,” said Sabine Durden, the mother of another victim. “You don’t want your child in a casket or in an urn. So get it together for God’s sake for this country.

After signing the executive order on family separations at the border, President Trump resumed his tough talk about strengthening the border and added that Mexico does little more than take U.S. money and send the U.S. drugs. » Subscribe to…

We’ll never know the truth behind Donald Trump’s humiliating reversal of his own brutal policy of separating thousands of immigrant children from their parents at the border. But we do know that Trump will lie about his actions, and will be utterly incompetent about fixing the crisis he created. Instead of imprisoning children separately, the United States will now imprison them together with their parents indefinitely. Yes there were legal constraints on jailing children for more than 20 days, whether alone or with their parents. You also should tell him to stop blaming other White House officials for his own disastrous policies. That’s a tough dilemma. For most normal adults, this is an astonishingly simple choice: do you prove your toughness by brutalizing children or do you treat them with the essential sympathy that we like to call human nature? But there was at least one glaring difference between the politics of these two supposedly tough dilemmas: President Bush was widely seen as protecting Americans from a threat that killed several thousand people. However, this is also not the end of the story for the thousands of children currently separated from their parents. Some people have suggested this crisis of Trump’s making is his own personal Katrina: the hurricane that laid bare the incompetence of the Bush administration.
