I’m reading on FR that Ryan and the rino’s were counting on the child separation issue to ram through amnesty without the wall.
Trump is heading this off.
The administration should be using the bully pulpit to make that point over and over, from President Trump and from Sarah Sanders and others rather than writing any EO to change a policy that is consistent with the law.
