obama or laura bush had done this. we would be. we would say what's going on? did they fall and hit their head? what is this message? but melania trump is in a very bizarre situation. she's making the best of it, dignified. the polar opposite of her husband. she doesn't use the media and she doesn't like the spotlight. she doesn't want to bring attention to herself. she didn't wear the jacket in the facility. that was very obvious and intentional. at the facility it was about the children, but she made the story of the day about her, no matter how much ramping that was going to go on in that room. >> i do think the supporters are saying it's ridiculous to focus on the message on the back of it first lady's jacket, but to amy's point if micelle obama had worn a jacket with the words i don't care, people's heads would have exploded. there is this double standard. it's almost like one of those, you know, on 24 you see a hostage vid eo where people are blinking a secret message to somebody. you can't ignore when the first laidee of the united states is wearing a sign-on her back in the

some questions. joining me now, anita mcbride, chief of staff to first lady laura bush. thanks for coming in. >> sure, thank you, kate. >> what do you think of the first lady's unannounced visit to the border facility? >> i think the visit was great. it was important. and she asked a lot of good questions in that round table. i think she also was able to present to us that there is some semblance of a structure around these kids who are in this unfortunate situation because we're all really confused about what is going on. so that was the good part of her visit. any first lady has this unique position to be able to bring some humanity to any issue that is facing our nation at the time. and also be a conduit for important information back to her husband. at least that's the hope. >> a lot of ink has been spilled about what exactly melania trump is saying and doing, kind of around this issue. the statement that her spokesperson put out as a crisis was breaking out, we need she said we need to be a country that follows all the laws, also need it -- also a country that governs with hea

objects to it. we have heard from laura bush, the former first lady, in quite strong terms saying the onus is on the trump administration to stop this, and the general reaction as well across—the—board, internationally as well, has been extremely negative and the images that are coming out of these tents and these camps in texas are just appalling to so many people. very, very young children being taken away from their parents with the potential of being in these camps for many weeks to come while the legal process against their parents takes its course. at the same time, president trump has said the german public are turning against their leader over immigration. on twitter, mr trump said, "crime in germany is way up", and that europe made a mistake in allowing millions of people in who have so strongly and violently changed their culture. in berlin, the german interior minister has given chancellor merkel until the end of the month to engineer a european deal on immigration, before he begins turning away migrants at the border. the government has lost a crucial vote in the house

president trump, when laura bush former first lady is calling this cruel cool, how can you defend this policy? and surely you don't like the policy? corey: nobody wants to have kids separated. that. likes to see however, this policy was put into place by the obama administration, the law has been there. what is the option? the reason the policy is there in the first place is because you don't want the united states marshals arresting and incarcerating children. you do have to do that for their parents. they came across the border illegally. if you do it with the obama administration did, i saw the effects firsthand, and you let people come in, i do this catch and release, then you have a massive humanitarian crisis at the border of a much greater magnitude. kevin: we don't have one now? corey: it will get bigger. kevin: 2000 children separated, is a not a crisis? corey: six years ago, when we had these kids coming across the border, what was happening to these kids i came out without parents? the message was sent that if you send your kids, they will get into the country. what hap

support this week. you heard a lot of people, even laura bush come out and say this was appalling. a lot of republicans on the hill i heard from were saying the same thing, that this was problematic for their party going into a midterm, but this is a culture war to him. this is why he feels he was elected. he feels he can double down and move forward and that he will win on this issue, so i think he is going to dig his heels in and he feels like immigration is his issue. >> real quick, there is a challenge here for democrats. normally the midterm electorates are older and wider, significantly, than the presidential year electorates at a time when older whites have become the cornerstone of the trump and republican coalition. i mean, the challenge they have is that the question is whether younger voters and hispanic voters are going to turn out in larger numbers than they usually do in a midterm. it's not just trump. 80% of house republicans last week voted for a bill that would cut legal immigration by 40%, including a number of republicans in highly diverse districts in places like

with you. you worked in the bush white house. and obviously you've seen the reaction to laura bush's opinion piece this week. you call this policy, quote, trying to mow your yard with dynamite. how does this play out with the trump administration? >> it is not going to play well. the politics of it is bad, the images are bad. most americans support the idea of stopping violent criminals from coming into the country. the problem is these images we're seeing from the border are not of violent criminals, they're little children who have been taken away from their parents, this audio is terrible politics. i think this has been a terrible mistake, i think the president could reverse it and what i would like to see happen here is to try to make something out of this crisis. i want to see the president go up to capitol hill tonight, i want him to rally the republicans. i want the republicans in the house to support this legislation that is sitting there that would end the child separation and get comprehensive immigration reform, i want to see that move on down the line because out of this crisis,

see that by the fact franklin graham, son of billy graham, laura bush, former first lady, have all weighed in to say this is cruel, immoral, and by the way, it also does not work. it is not an effective bittorrent because the women i met with just few of cover these countries over the decades. they are escaping terrible conditions. one of the women told me that she had three children. her oldest child was shot and killed by gangs. i think she was from el salvador. her second child shot and paralyzed by gangs. she left her second child and took her third child to try to bring that child to safety. these are the kinds of stories people are fleeing. in making a possible e choices. separatingng children from their families at the border is illegal. the u.n. human rights commissioner says it violates the rights of the child. they are asylum seekers. they should be getting what is called a credible fear theory. instead, the trump administration continues to double down and think he is going to somehow be solving a problem here. juan: what is your response to the claims of the president t
