It says that their families should leave, not them. I think that's good advice. I assume that whether or not they leave with them is their own choice. This article does not say they are encouraged to do so.

Please........congress is shut down for a week to celebrate President's Week.........this was a planned departure and my guess is they are just covering their butts and wagging the dog to hide the fact that they are NOT doing the nation's business. Hope they NEVER come back.
