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.

The MSM and Swamp slugs they colluded with to destroy this country can share cells at Gitmo.
Much better to accuse the dems of being in favor of child sex trafficking
Or perhaps this one..."Staff of The Hill Agree to A 50% Pay Cut To Pay Illegals Living Expenses"
Have seen any media vermin, RATs or RINOs crying and wringing their hands in Chicago or Detroit where children have been murdered for years?
Simple! The parents broke the law by sneaking into America and are therefor bad influence on the “children.” Parents are often separated from their children when they commit offenses against the country. Why should this be any different?
Great strategy! However, the stupid party will somehow eff it up, cuz they wanna be “liked” and all
Still waiting for dumbocraps start caring about American citizens, legal immigrants, taxpayers, and their families.

The man has brass ones, for sure!
I love him.....
These things do not happen to “Legal” immigrants.
It aint hard to understand.
And Heck the detention center looks better than Summer camp!
Yeah, that’ll work.
Hell no, let them run with it.
Hell let them fly business class and feed em free drinks the whole flight. Be cheaper and less destructive than keeping them here.
Yep this was a set up. The Rats knew the optics of kids in detention would cause the emotional reaction to get Amnesty
to the finish line and the squish R’s would fold. All we can do is hope Trump stands firm.
I get drunk and run down two kids on a sidewalk, killing them. Guess what they do? THEY SEPARATE ME FROM MY FAMILY!.
Americans in general understand that when people break laws, there are consequences not just to the scofflaw but to those around him.
Send the children back with their parents, like we used to do when we enforced our laws. Problem solved.
Make no mistake, this is a coordinated political attack by the Democrats who desperately want to distract attention from the continuing crash and burn of Obamacare, the Trump tax cuts and dismantling of Obama regulations, the resulting boom in the U.S. economy, Trump’s remarkable success so far with North Korea, the IG’s report, or any of those other pesky issues.
Oh yeah rage from who? Samantha Bee Hollywood and the Democratic party? More b******* using children to push bad policy.
Big shiny ones too.
Ain’t afraid to let the whole world know it, too.
