President Donald Trump's immigration Policy is horribly heartbreaking as it separates many children from their parents, who have crossed the US-Mexico border. His stringent immigration laws is seeing devastating effects on family lives. An audio clip of separated child calling out to her father is causing more outrage among the people. The family separations at the border are captured in the heartbreaking voices of small Spanish-speaking children. "Papa! Papa!" one child is heard weeping in a clip posted by nonprofit ProPublica and it is apparently a recording from last week.

The details about where the audio is recorded are not revealed but they capture the pain of separation of children from parents. The migrant children are labelled as 'unaccompanied minors' and sent to the government's custody or foster care and their 'criminal' parents are sent to jail custody. Trump tweeted that children were being used by their 'criminal parents' to get into US.

Watch the heartbreaking video of children calling out to their parents at the detention centre:

The video is utterly inhumane as the guards pay no heed to these voices. The  Border Patrol agent is mocking the crying as a performance. “Well, we have an orchestra here,” he jokes. “What’s missing is a conductor.” The US government has separated about 2,000 migrant children from their parents in the last six weeks, according to data from the Department of Homeland Security. The rage has only become stronger with the release of the audio clip and comparisons are even made to Nazi Germany, the threats of Japanese-Americans during World War II. While the Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen revealed that the children are treated with great care. She mentioned that the government has high standards for their detention centers but well, nothing compares to the care of the parents and made to face such separation. Will This Girl Be the Face of U.S. President Donald Trump’s Policy on Immigration?

The backlash over the new policy has widened and there is much pressure being put on the Trump administration to find an effective and quick solution. People have pleaded guilty to the immigration charges but had the very valid questions about what happens to their children. The location of a former hospital has been converted into a living quarter for these children and they are also divided by age group. A group of lawmakers who visited the warehouse revealed the pathetic condition of 'taking care.' They said, hundreds of children were caged in metal fencing. One cage accommodating up to 20 youngsters.

Separating children from the parents is used as a measure to control those who try to enter the US illegally. While the other House Democrats are calling out to the heartbreaking family separation. U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas announced that he was introducing emergency legislation so that the families of immigrants can be kept together. "All Americans are rightly horrified by the images we are seeing on the news, children in tears pulled away from their mothers and fathers," Cruz said. "This must stop." While Trump defended saying the US will not be a migrant camp on his watch.

The audio clip is heartwrenching and captures the emotion of every child that has to face the cruel punishment for parents immigrating ways. The effective solution needs to come soon and the audio is enough to break the silence.
