This is a Republican Congress that has not stood up to Donald Trump on anything before. You can bet they are capable of reading polls, too, and knew they were on the wrong side of this issue.

Don't you get tired of always being wrong?

Senate Democrats reject GOP legislative fix to stop family separations
But, but, the lefties on here think it's a win

Schumer does want the president to handle it, saying it's as easy as a swipe of a pen. Like I said earlier Obama and Trump pretty much echoed each other telling Congress to fix it and they still have not done it. Basically now they are using them as pawns. Kind of sad really.
But there's nothing for the President to "fix", the vast majority of them came to the US border without an adult. Who are we going to give the 10000 unaccompanied minors to? More than half of the remaining 2000 came with smugglers, do we reunite those children with those smugglers?

The only thing that would need the improvement is to streamline the reunification process with the small percentage of kids removed from their parents. Whether people like it or not, kids shouldn't sit in jail with their parents. But they should be reunified through a process once it's been determined that they're being deported

Democrats don't want to solve any problems because their solutions never make any sense. They just want to manufacture" outrage" for as long as they can while Trump is still President

By most accounts, Trump could keep families together by making a phone call, I guess he doesn't actually care either, eh?

Flat-out lie.

Fake Tears Chuck Schumer is full of excuses for why his job is too hard. Obviously they would rather keep this in the news than solve the problem. Hope it passes anyway and Trump takes him to the woodshed on Twitter!

A flawed proposal, rejected by one democrat and you say that proves that all democrats don't care. That's classic Trumpian logic, which will become a by-word for foolish assumptions, in our language.

Senator Chuck Schumer rejects proposal to keep families together at the border, proving Democrats don't actually care
That's what you got from that article, huh? SMH
Quote:
Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer (N.Y.) on Tuesday dismissed a legislative proposal backed by Republican leaders to keep immigrant families together at the border, arguing that President Trump could fix the problem more easily with a flick of his pen.
“There are so many obstacles to legislation and when the president can do it with his own pen, it makes no sense,” Schumer told reporters. “Legislation is not the way to go here when it’s so easy for the president to sign it.”
You don't have to like the man or his politics, but you don't have to make up crap about him either.

You have something against Congress doing their job?

I want to see the legislation before I judge the rejection.

Democrats are worried about having to vote against immigration reform because a no vote for many of them is not going to sit well with majority of their constituents.
