The Democrats appear to be deadset on sabotaging any attempted solution to the "family separation" problem:
Quote:Even if Republicans manage to pass an immigration bill through the House, which is a tall order, the fight is all but certain to fizzle in the Senate.
Sen. Chuck Schumer, the Democratic leader from New York, is adamant that Trump can end the family separations on his own and that legislation is not needed.
Without Democratic support, Republicans cannot muster the 60 votes needed to move forward on legislation.
After falsely claiming that Trump was "solely responsible" for the problem and could easily fix it all with a "phone call," the failing NYT is now bitching that his executive order (which Trump himself knows is skirting the law) is "illegal."
Nothing will satisfy them, short of completely open borders. Now they're also complaining that Trump's order will only serve to keep kids in detention longer, and arguing that it should be rescinded.
The whole "Oh, look at the poor children" hand-wringing has merely been a subterfuge designed to advance their TRUE agenda, i.e., expanding their voting base by importing foreigners illegally.
