Dems want the directive to come from Trump only. Not Congress, no bills presented. Just Trump. Then they’ll beat him to death (worse than they are today) with it. they think they’ll have their midterm wrapped up.
Lol! Their bait is stale
the Democrats are trying to force Trump to stop policing the border. The massive influx coming in now is part of their plan. If Trump stops removing the children as the law requires him to, then he can’t apprehend the adults. The law says if you apprehend the parents the children must be separately dealt with. He can’t police the border without doing this, or he violates the law. Nice poison pill.
About all he could do is declare an emergency and close the border entirely. And he’d have to place the guard along the entire border.
This is the Democrat/socialist play - force him down from immigration control of any kind. If he closes the border, the screaming will get 10 times louder. The Democrats are making their play to take down the country’s borders - make them meaningless - right now.
They do not want to be on record saying open borders to their voters, so they leave it to trump and the media to push him
