WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump's policy of taking immigrant children from their parents at the southern border may have been designed to push Democrats to the negotiating table in Congress — but it could end up costing Republican lawmakers.
"Democrats can fix their forced family breakup at the Border by working with Republicans on new legislation, for a change!" Trump wrote on Twitter Saturday. "This is why we need more Republicans elected in November."
But the policy, which has separated some 2,000 children from their parents in just six weeks, could have the opposite effect as anxious Republican lawmakers fear voters may see their party as heartless on immigration and punish them for it in November. And Democrats are driving home that message in emails to supporters and by organizing trips to detention centers.
The issue will "absolutely" be a factor in the midterm elections this fall, said a GOP operative working to elect Republicans to Congress, adding that "the images are devastating" for the GOP.

Headline should read: GOP concerned about blowback from fake news fiction regarding children at border.
True headline: “NBC fears midterm backlash if Democrats have nothing scandalous to run on.”
DUMBO STARTED THIS PROGRAM, lets not let the LIBTARDS forget it. Many have no adult with them to begin with. Then there is the DUMBO SEX trafficking he used these illegals for. Both are posted somewhere on FR.
Why would Liberals want these poor disadvantaged families to come to America with our tyrant dictator, our rape culture, our Xenophobia, our institutionalized racism, our murderous police, our wage gaps, our wealth disparities, our lack of opportunity for minorities, etc etc etc. Don’t they care about Central American families????
Families should be kept together and deported. The option should be the parents: stay together and go home.
Make sure to avoid Kellogg’s they are flagged for Salmonella out break. Especially the Honey Puffs.
Obama treated the as sex traffic: https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/obama-administration-placed-children-with-human-traffickers-report-says/2016/01/28/39465050-c542-11e5-9693-933a4d31bcc8_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.e2a86ae06dd0
So it seems that the evil demonrats are going to use this as their main FAKE issue. This is Hussein O’Muslim’s policy, his dog cage pictures etc.
Contrary to the fake media and The Swamp dweller’s hopes, pushing this false story will only cause more Americans to vote to support Trump (and those in elections who support Trump), and those who don’t support Trump (who is US), will be slowly thrown on the garbage heap of history and left to ponder their former political offices.
Drain The Swamp!
Last time I checked, Republicans have majorities in the House and Senate. They don't need the Democrats to pass the new legislation. And if the Democrats block it then it's a good campaign issue for November.
THANK YOU!
Funny. The Liberals were all for deporting to reunite families when it was Elian Gonzalez.
The media is pathetic.
The GOP is scared of there shadows that’s why Trump was elected (he’s not scared)
Goebbels could have learned a lot from our media.
First they tell us that biological nuclear families are a continuing criminal enterprise against single mothers and homosexual marriage, then they tell us that we must let in millions of third-world welfare parasites because otherwise we would break up the holy biological nuclear family.
These Republicans would do well to ignore the sob stories, and fear US.
We, the Republican voters will determine their fate. Nobody else.
They are just looking for an excuse to be weak.
Which NeverTrumper or member of the Chamber of Commerce would that be?

Fire the dimwit in DHS that let a camera or cell phone within a mile of any facility with kids.
