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.

Me neither!...I've sent so many copies of “None dare call it Treason”...with a brick in the box and no postage...they dont send me any letters anymore..they must have enough copies of the book i guess...
I keep asking the same Damn question I have all weekend in my running debate on this. If all these people hate this process then tell me what the alternative is. What is an idea to propose.
Every Liberal. etc., I have debated I have asked this and what do I get, Absolute Silence, Nothing. They complain but offer no solutions to the current status quo and the Black Letter Laws on the books.
I haven’t heard one politician in Congress offer anything either, or either side of the aisle. Complete Silence.
Two Bills on Immigration and neither deal with or want to.
What a bunch of Gutless Cowards and Corrupt Bastards. I would just like to wash my hands of all these reprehensible morons.
This fake issue is making me sick.
Why are we detaining them? Just send them back.
Put up the freaking Wall and many fewer families will be separated.
Thanks, So that’s what happened to the kids after they were caged by Obama. Sick.
WARNING - ENTERING THE UNITED STATES ILLEGALLY WILL BRING JAIL FOR YOU AND SEPARATION FROM YOUR CHILDREN <<
and I might add...IF YOU CHOSE TO CONTINUE PLEASE REMAIN STILL WHEN THE RED DOT IS BETWEEN YOUR EYES...WE’RE TRYING TO SAVE THE COST OF AMMO ENOUGH SO THAT WE CAN BUILD A WALL...
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION...

Laura Bush is being exceptionally slimy here, even by Bush standards. Her husband is the one who signed the law that President Trump is now enforcing.
Laura Bush’s husband separated some 5,000 American servicemen from their families in Iraq and another 2,200 in Afghanistan.
The “Leading Republicans” are Flake and Collins! Who knew they were “leading” anything but each other around by the nose?
Laura Bush was never a Republican to begin with. She was a dem before Shrub married her, a dem when she whispered in his ear when he was President, and she’s a dem now.
And this is a great policy and I’ll openly embrace it, don’t want your kids locked up? Stay in GD Mexico, simple!
And probably all the “deals” between the government and Walmart were done by either Paul Pelosi or Diane Fineswine’s third husband Richard Blum! These two women (Pelosi and Fineswine) have helped their husband’s become filthy rich on the taxpayer’s dime!
That’s nice. BUILD THE WALL!
just as Horowitz is to be quizzed; as efforts by Nunes, etc are moving forward...the FakeNewsMSM has no agenda but this immigration disinfo. it’s everywhere:

don’t give it oxygen. get back to exposing the Deep State.
Congress needs to protect our border so these children stay with their families in their countries.
If they were leading Republicans, they'd be leading instead of on the outside, looking in, holding hands with their masters from the DNC. Thanks Innovative.
F leading Republicans and Democrats.
Yes essentially if you can bring a kid with you it’s basically open doors it’s just another loop hole. No border control if you bring a child with you, correct?
Kids and parents separate from one another all the time. Crooks go to prison (hey, choices), service personnel are sent on deployments, kids go to school every day or private academies for months at a stretch.
Why should border jumpers be treated differently?
