The administration "gets it" the administration tried for an hour or so to make just that point.
The administration lacks the cajones to get the point across... same argument as I would apply to 'our' border with mexico. (Except that the administration 'gets it' but refuses to act on it...)
PS: This is one of those occasions for which I would absolutely maintain that 'the people' do not have any business making policy. 'The people' seem only to understand (sic) what certain of their elite have orated for their consumption.
