Canned defense. I understand the argument. I could make the argument (and I think I'll get even better at it when I transition to an orange person). "We need to enforce laws, even unpopular ones. We are concerned about these kids. Here, look at the great conditions they're in. And of course physicians and other caretakers can touch these kids - but in today's world, we need to guard against predators, especially given how vulnerable children in these tragic circumstances can be. We share the concerns of dems for their welfare, and would like to see our policy stop children from making this perilous journey."

I don't know that I'd be 100% down with that - I have a very libertarian view of immigration in general. But I'd respect it. If this is the right policy Tom, email or tweet your man Trump immediately, and tell him to stop lying just this once and own it.
