To the Editor:Re “Trump Blames Democrats for Deaths of Migrant Children in U.S. Custody” (news article, Dec. 30):I’m not sure how many times these last couple of years that I’ve read stories with headlines that begin “Trump Blames ...” Just fill in the blanks. Now, young children die while in custody of the United States under President Trump’s new border policies. Mr. Trump, having claimed to be “proud” to shut down the government for border security, now blames the Democrats, who he says are for “open borders.” Not true, but hey. To the Editor:There is no more surefire way to alienate American mothers who vote than to politicize the death of children. Congratulations, President Trump, and keep up the good work.
