Detained immigrant children bring scrutiny to Trump’s border policy Posted: 31 May 2018 02:02 PM PDT A social media firestorm about 1,475 children "lost" by the federal government, together with a new policy that results in separating unauthorized immigrant children from their parents, has heightened scrutiny of President Trump's zero-tolerance approach to illegal immigration. Amid recent reports – some examining Obama-era enforcement – of children being beaten by government agents and in some cases released to human traffickers and forced to work in miserable conditions, ramped-up detention of minors has amplified human rights concerns. Mr. Trump, who had already pushed for more stringent border enforcement in his first year in office, is cracking down in what many characterize as an unprecedented way.

In a country where immigrant newcomers often complain they do not feel welcome, and where many indigenous Britons say they no longer feel at home, Lincoln's example suggests that home-making does not have to be a zero-sum game. Local people who had feared the Islamic place of worship as "a foreign object in a Christian area," as Durrant puts it, have been reassured.
