发帖数: 61690 | 1 Mattis spoke just before President Trump signed an executive order intended
to end family separations at the U.S. southern border.
Among other aspects of the order, it says the Defense secretary “shall take
all legally available measures to provide to the [Homeland Security]
secretary, upon request, any existing facilities available for the housing
and care of alien families, and shall construct such facilities if necessary
and consistent with law.”
Pressed on the issue of housing children and families on military bases,
Mattis listed other situations when the military has housed people in need.
“We have housed refugees,” he said. “We have housed people thrown out of
their homes by earthquakes and hurricanes. We do whatever is in the best
interest of the country.”
The Trump administration has been engulfed in controversy over its “zero-
tolerance” policy on illegal immigration. |
