The comment made others in the room uncomfortable, “but everyone tried to be rational and calm,” the official told the newspaper.

“No nation can have the policy that whole classes of people are immune from immigration law or enforcement,” Miller told the Times in an interview. “It was a simple decision by the administration to have a zero tolerance policy for illegal entry, period.
