Republicans thought they’d found a solution Tuesday to the separation of illegal immigrant families on the border, announcing plans to let the families stay together in Homeland Security detention facilities while they await deportation.
But Democrats quickly shot down any thought of signing on, saying they’re in no rush to help Mr. Trump clean up the mess they say he’s made.
“There’s no need for legislation,” said Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat. “Mr. President, you started it, you can stop it, plain and simple.”
His resistance suggests Republicans will struggle to find an honorable exit from an issue that’s playing poorly for them amid wall-to-wall coverage from a hostile press corps, denunciations from religious leaders, and official protests from foreign countries.

The President did not make it Congress did. He is only going by the laws on the books. He is not about ignoring the law as Obama did!
If American citizens break the law we end up in jail, separated from our families. These people were warned not to come here illegally and they did it anyway. The liberals caused this mess and now trying to blame Trump. Just something else they think voters will use to vote for them. I hope voters continue to wake up and show the democrats they are not as stupid as liberals think.
