all in starts right now. good evening from new york, i m chris hayes. u.s. immigration policy is in chaos thanks solely to donald trump after the humanitarian crisis he initiated which threw every federal agency involved from the department of justice to homeland security to health and human services to now the pentagon into pandemonium. as over 2,000 children were for ostensibly no reason ripped from their parents and sent to facilities around the country, scattered to the four winds, and there are still no plans for reuniting them. today with a casual tweet, the president then blew up plans by congressional republicans to pass an immigration bill. there s no coordination among agencies with confusion along the border as officials try to figure out what they re supposed to do now. the only thing consistent about the president s immigration policy is, frankly, its cruelty. the washington post is reporting on the difficulty of reuniting children with their parents.
to steal his son, essentially, and calling her and her calling the bluff and be like, fine, take him. as his son watches, he just sends him back. i just think a person that can do that, if you re michael cohen, he s not going to be loyal to you if he can do that to his own son. i have to say, well, first of all, it kind of explains the surprise that trump experienced when people were so upset about the child separation, right? maybe he doesn t care about being separated from his own kids. as for michael cohen, you know, i have to say this is the least surprising development. it s easy to bluff and say, you know, i d take a bullet for him, i d do anything to protect mr. trump. then when the bullet is barreling down at you, you know, things look a little different. i think he s just trying to save his own skin and he knows his boss better than anybody. he knows that he s that bullet is coming. so you think that he knows that that loyalty is asymmetric. sure. he s seen it up clo

director of border angels. and corinne jean pierre. moveon.org. kilmeade walked that back. he said i didn t mean to make it seem like children coming to the u.s. illegally are less important because they live in another country. i have comfor all children, especially the kids separated from their parents right now. that said, i have been truly aghast at the vileness of the rhetoric of dehumanization that we have seen this week. what do you think about it? in the past they ve been more careful about their language quite frankly. but this is what you have to do. if you re going to intern children and mothers and fathers you have to have the population subdued by the notion that these are less than human, they are not us, they are subhuman. that s why you use words like infestation, like vermin. trump has been doing this for a while now, and he s had to turn up the volume because his offenses against these people have also gotten worse.
