I even love the title! :)

“Affording Congress an Opportunity to Address Family Separation”
https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/affording-congress-opportunity-address-family-separation/

And I love the introductory comments:
“ Under our laws, the only legal way for an alien to enter this country is at a designated port of entry at an appropriate time. When an alien enters or attempts to enter the country anywhere else, that alien has committed at least the crime of improper entry and is subject to a fine or imprisonment under section 1325(a) of title 8, United States Code. This Administration will initiate proceedings to enforce this and other criminal provisions of the INA until and unless Congress directs otherwise. It is also the policy of this Administration to maintain family unity, including by detaining alien families together where appropriate and consistent with law and available resources. It is unfortunate that Congress’s failure to act and court orders have put the Administration in the position of separating alien families to effectively enforce the law.”

As Lincoln noted, the best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly.

The problem is the average D voter has no grounding in civics and doesn't understand the concept of separation of powers, the proper roles of the three branches of government, or can even name the three branches of government.
