Presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg said Sunday that President Donald Trump's administration has a completely backward approach to solving the rising influx of undocumented immigrants, focusing too heavily on criminalizing migrants.
Many migrants, he said, are not coming to the United States to pursue the American dream but to flee violence in Central America.Buttigieg said on CNN’s “State of the Union” that supporting stability in the region would be a far more sustainable solution than separating families and locking up migrants as the Trump administration has done. But, the mayor of South Bend, Ind., pointed out, the Trump administration is threatening to decrease spending in developing and improving the area.
"We were so horrified by the wrong steps taken toward Iraq that I think some in the Democratic Party felt pushed in the direction of isolationism, which I also don't think is the right way for us to go," he said.
