Kim Kardashian weighs in on ‘heartbreaking’ immigration situation

Kim Kardashian has weighed in on the issue of immigrant children being torn away from their parents at the US-Mexico border, describing the situation as ‘heartbreaking’.

The reality star spoke to KTLA on Wednesday and said she wished there was more she could to do to help with the controversy surrounding President Donald Trump’s zero-tolerance policy. 

‘I think it’s heartbreaking, I think it’s so sad,’ the 37-year-old said when asked about the immigration situation.

‘I don’t know what I would do if those were my children.’ 

Given her recent success in lobbying President Donald Trump to release convicted drug dealer Alice Johnson from prison, Kim pointed out that she didn’t have the power to change everything.

‘I don’t have access to everything. I do see that people have been tweeting me about that saying why can’t you help … I don’t work for the White House,’ the mother-of-three said.

‘I don’t have influence and I’ve always been open and honest that there are lots of things and policies that I don’t agree with.

‘I have always been honest from the start with the White House team about that, I stayed really focus on the case of Alice Johnson. 

‘If there was anything I could do, I would but I don’t have that power.’ 

During the wide-spanning interview, which took place at an event to promote her KKW Beauty and Fragrance lines, Kim strangely also revealed that she is over taking selfies.

‘I don’t take selfies anymore, I don’t really like them anymore. It’s not all about taking selfies, I used to spent do much of my time taking selfies,’ she said.

‘I would just like to live in real time a little more. I don’t mind pictures, but I’m just on my phone as much anymore.’

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order ending family separation at the border.

The president, in an abrupt U-turn on the divisive policy put into place by his own administration, directed the Department of Homeland Security to detain families together so long as children are not put into danger.

‘I didn’t like the sight or the feeling of families being separated,’ the president on Wednesday stated.
