White House faces growing outcry over migrant family policies
The Hill ^ | 06/17/18 | Brett Samuels

The White House appears poised for a fight over its policy of separating migrant families who cross the border illegally, even as a growing number of lawmakers are voicing concerns about the practice.

Democrats and some Republicans have in recent days visited facilities used to house separated family members, leading to new questions about the process and growing calls for the so-called "zero tolerance" policy to end.

GOP Sens. Jeff Flake (Ariz.) and Susan Collins (Maine) wrote to the Departments of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services on Saturday asking for clarity on the administration's practice of separating migrant families.

The letter cites multiple instances where families seeking asylum were separated, despite the administration's assurances that wasn't the case. The senators asked for details on when children are separated from their parents, what the purpose of doing so is, and how many children have been separated during the asylum claim process.

"It is critical that Congress fully understands how our nation’s laws are being implemented on the ground, especially when the well-being of young children is at stake," the senators wrote.

“Democrats and some Republicans “

GOP Sens. Jeff Flake (Ariz.) and Susan Collins (Maine)

“It looks like Democrats believe they have their midterm issue. “

Because I can totally see Americans voting in November based on this. /s

“growing outcry”

Talking points about Stormy have been tossed aside; new ones are in place.

So what do the Dems and their Big Media pals want, exactly?

Put these kids in jail with their parents? (now who’s inhumane?)

Or, as we all suspect, just let everyone go free ... no border security at all??

Pin the Dems down on this, there’s no way they can look good this fall, either way is bad

When they mention names like Flake and Collins, you know that this is a very pathetic narrative.

I was wondering what the new Crisis de jour would be, now that things are kinda smoothing out. Looks like this is it.

Time for Trump to counter and show this is not a new development.

The child separated isbecause they don’t know if the adults were their parents

This is easy enough to spin for the repubs.....simply point out that dems are in favor of child sexual trafficking. Let them prove otherwise

This is PURE astroturf.
If these people cared about their kids they would leave them home when going to commit a crime.

WhiteHouse faced outcry over napkin not folded right.

Leftards and their moronic libtard ass-lickers dont need anything real to be in a state of ‘outcry’ over towards anyone they want to smear who opposes their sick ideology.

Imagine how they will shreak and tear their own faces off when hillary and obama are investigated, prosecuted and go to prison for their many high crimes against the People of the United States
