WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump's policy of taking immigrant children from their parents at the southern border may have been designed to push Democrats to the negotiating table in Congress — but it could end up costing Republican lawmakers.
"Democrats can fix their forced family breakup at the Border by working with Republicans on new legislation, for a change!" Trump wrote on Twitter Saturday. "This is why we need more Republicans elected in November."
But the policy, which has separated some 2,000 children from their parents in just six weeks, could have the opposite effect as anxious Republican lawmakers fear voters may see their party as heartless on immigration and punish them for it in November. And Democrats are driving home that message in emails to supporters and by organizing trips to detention centers.
The issue will "absolutely" be a factor in the midterm elections this fall, said a GOP operative working to elect Republicans to Congress, adding that "the images are devastating" for the GOP.

“GOP fears midterms backlash “
5 months ago, does anyone know what anyone was talking about?
No?
So 5 months from now, these idiots at NBC think the public is going to “punish” the GOP over a phony issue involving illegal aliens?
The GOP is scared of its shadow
This began a long time ago and was instituted by the Marxist Muslim Obama. I guess telling the truth is too hard for NBC.
GOPeers fear their shorten shadows as the Summer Solstice approaches.
It’s obvious that the news media are now moving the coverage and narrative to something like this, because Trump got seemingly very good marks from people over the summit with the North Korean leader and probably also for standing his ground on tariffs and trade.
The entire families need to be reunited
In their home countries

This issue will blow up in Big Media’s faces.
They think they’re painting the Trump Admin in a bad light, but in reality, all they’re doing is reminding people of the overwhelming problem of illegal invaders.
Got that? Big Media is keeping the topic illegal aliens in the spotlight, something they avoided for years ... Now Big Media is actually creating more Trump voters by constantly reminding them of this problem!
Trump’s numbers can only go up on this! Bazinga - another leftist media boomerang!!
They are trying to build a new narrative, that’s the only way this will impact the election. They need a narrative that is believed widely to achieve this.
Frankly, at this point the people making all the noise aren’t people that were going to vote for a republican candidate anyways.
The media doesn’t have this power anymore after the damage they inflicted on themselves.
I’ll bet many of the mommies are glad to have their kids temporarily housed in a place where they are well taken care of.
Take all illegals and MS13 thugs and house them in upscale liberal elite neighborhoods until they can be sent home.
That should create some empathy... (with Americans for once rather than just with illegals)
Let’s see liberals do some of the assimilation work... let THEIR ‘oh so nice’ neighborhoods become mini hellholes... yes, THEN we can talk to the sh*ts. Then they’ll start to see our point of view...
You ALL need to see this
Internet searches have been corrupted to obfuscate obama history and rewrite headlines blaming Trump

I see the GOPeers as heartless about making America whole again.
This fake issue was created as a bargaining chip in the immigration reform, DACA, wall funding deal.
“Only the Establishment Republicans are being hurt. And those leftist Republicans are being replaced by more conservative and Trump supporting Republicans.”
Unfortunately, those “Leftist Republicans” are still in the majority in both Houses, so the replacement process is fraught with pitfalls. We can’t get rid of all of them in one fell swoop, so we’re in between a rock and a hard place with those “Leftist Republicans” going all in to tank the upcoming election and return one or possibly both houses to RAT control in order to get Trump impeached and out of office.
When is the last time anyone ever saw an article in the MSM citing an unnamed “Democratic operative”?

How about some backlash against Robert Mueller?
Didn’t he just break up another family?
I don’t think we care, nor would we if women were separated from their husbands so they can’t breed more babies on US Soil.
