If they are crying about the idea of this country enforcing its laws then they have the wrong career.

These people are not emotionally stable or tough enough to work for the US Government.
Fire them.

If these people are actually crying (which I doubt), put it on Fox news, with no audio. Identify each of the cry babies and title, the President’s comes on “You’re Fired”.
Or, a motherly voice, saying: “Stop that or I’ll give you something to cry about”.
