Leading figures of both parties pressured President Trump on Sunday to halt his administrations practice of separating children from their parents when apprehended at the border, as the issue further polarized the already divisive immigration debate in Washington.
Republican lawmakers, the former first lady Laura Bush and a onetime adviser to Mr. Trump joined Democrats, including former President Bill Clinton, in condemning the family separations that have removed nearly 2,000 children from their parents in just six weeks. The administration pushed back, arguing that it was just enforcing the law a false assertion that President Trump has made repeatedly.

With friends like they, who needs enemies?
Democrats are smart..in 2008 they had the house, senate, and White House and they did NOT give amnesty to illegal aliens, why, because it was POLITICAL SUICIDE for them to do so..so instead, now they want Republicans to pass the law, that way Dems have clean hands and they can win back both houses in November and Impeach Trump..and the GOP is going to help them do exactly that
When exactly did Laura Bush become a leading member of the Republican Party?

Why am I not hearing any common sense. Any parent that would leave their child behind his completely dysfunctional. Why would we want them in this country? The commonsense thing is the kids go with the parents. Why is nobody saying this?
Here is a clue. If you don’t want to get your kid removed, stay your butt in MEXICO!! I am sick of this maudlin $hit!!
All based on lies. See http://www.investmentwatchblog.com/photos-inside-shelter-for-migrant-children-show-much-different-picture-than-media-has-been-painting-and-theyre-a-far-cry-from-obamas-cages/ Spread the word!
NY Times ———BS!
Reunite the illegals.
As they are being bused south over the border.
Adios y bueno suerte en Mexico con sus familias.

If Trump isn’t enforcing the law, file a suit.
And Laura Bush isn’t a leading figure. Ever.
I can hardly wait to get another letter from her asking me to give to Dubya’s library.
Laura Bush can put her tearstained little hankie back in her $7200. purse and go back to playing Candy Crush on her iphone, for all I care. I don’t spend anymore time defending what the Bushes are saying. Done with all that.

:The children are separated from their parents or, to be precise, from the adults accompanying them, who may or may not be their parents when their parents cross the southern U.S. border illegally and are caught and detained.
Previously, under the catch-and-release policy, the adults would be released. Under the zero tolerance policy of the Trump administration, the adults are being detained and prosecuted. Children cannot be incarcerated with them.”
BIG SIGNS AT ENTRY POINTS:
“WARNING - ENTERING THE UNITED STATES ILLEGALLY WILL BRING JAIL FOR YOU AND SEPARATION FROM YOUR CHILDREN”
(lay this all at the feet of those crazy orgs that printed out pamphlets that coached people how to claim refugee status. And the ‘religious groups’ that encouraged them...)
A policy inherited from the Dope.

Absolutely! obozo let 600,000 of those damned rug rats in this country and hid them for YOU to educate!! For YOU to feed and house!! $crew that!!I am sick of it!!!
These commie buzzards didn’t complain when Obonzo was separating them from their “families”. Of course, at that time, they needed these offspring to be labeled as “unaccompanied minors” in order to pluck at America’s heart strings. The “leading Republicans” and their ‘RAT pals can all KMA. How are we ever going to end poverty in this country if we don’t stop importing it? That’s dumber than sh*t. I’m tired of hearing about and paying taxes for “poverty” in America.
The entire Bush clan are a cabal of blood-sucking globalist whores, who, in my mind, can not leave this mortal coil soon enough.
Exactly. Every illegal child that comes across the border should have their relatives tracked down and they should all be deported.
American children come first.
I hope President Trump remembers that.
