'Think of children!!! ' not working, libs. Try something else for midterms!

[KingsGambit]

"Not working"? Republican members of Congress are practically lining up to push back against the administration on this issue, as are other Republicans (Laura Bush, Franklin Graham). Try another talking point.

[demi-conservative]

"not working", yes! Look how true conservatives care zero about obvious children outrage of yours, also not defensive or apologetic. Even lib Yttrium doesn't care.

Try another talking point.

Go back to exegesis level of Playboy.

The thing is, congress has the power to change it all. They are the ones who make the laws. But they are refusing. Just like DACA.

Schumer's excuse: "We won't pass a law because Trump could solve everything with executive orders!"

Wasn't Chuck the guy who was crying the last time Trump used his executive order on immigrants and claiming it was unAmerican and illegal?

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) argued that the Trump administration should drop its executive order targeting immigrants from seven Muslim-majority countries after an appeals court refused its request to reinstate the order.

"President Trump ought to see the handwriting on the wall that his executive order is unconstitutional," Schumer said in a statement shortly after Thursday's ruling.

Trump should "abandon this proposal, roll up his sleeves and come up with a real, bipartisan plan to keep us safe," he said.

Yep... I suspect they're trying to bait Trump into an executive order so they can block it in the courts and accuse him of trying to be a dictator while leaving this "crisis" unsolved.

I understand that Republicans have crafted a fix which would inhibit illegal immigration, and the Democrats have crafted a proposal which would do nothing to resolve the underlying problem.

And then we have Schumer flat out abdicating his job.

[demi-conservative]

Dems changed media cycle from IG report, also NK, to this about children. ''''''"Crisis'''''''' from nothing.

Yuge NK summit 1 week ago, then they did big time distraction. Good play, but desperate too!

Well Trump signed the order, kids will no longer be separated - do you want to bet that the liberals won't be happy!

Now they will complain because kids are going to jail with their parents.

Yep, they already are on MSMBC.

[Mountain Man]

Democrats won't be happy until the Southern border is erased.

That was exactly what happened in the first place. Immigration rights advocates filed suit and a judged ruled that the children could not be confined with their parents and other adults. I pointed this out in another thread about a week ago

Actually things are much more muddy

Essentially the choices are either separate the children from the parents or let the parents skate. Considering that it is hardly uncommon to separate the parents from their children when the parents break the law this looks like a whole lot of selective outrage.

Pretty much. He's demanding that Trump pass an executive order (which will likely be quashed in the courts considering previous decisions) while he sits on his hands shirking his role as a law maker and instead seeking to exploit these children for political gain.
