You mean, time to break something else, fumble around like a moron for two months, reverse your broken policy, and then claim victory.

Either (1) stop believing that lie; or (2) stop spreading it.

And kudos for bringing up Hillary. Gotta keep those deflecting skills sharp since nothing else is working.

Unaccompanied Alien Children: An Overview
During the 1980s, allegations of UAC mistreatment by the former Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS)16 caused a series of lawsuits against the government that eventually resulted in the Flores Settlement Agreement (Flores Agreement) in 1997.17 The Flores Agreement established a nationwide policy for the detention, treatment, and release of UAC and recognized the particular vulnerability of UAC as minors while detained without a parent or legal guardian present.

What part of "unaccompanied" are you not getting? The children taken from their parents were NOT unaccompanied.

You break the law, you get arrested. Pretty clear. But now Trump will not be so harsh on these law breakers. They'll stay together as they are shown the door.

Republicans? They can't note that 2 +2 = 4 unless they get their talking point from Trump/Fox news. Even after they're given it, they'll check their fingers to see if it's actually right.

Sorry, but you're not keeping up with the discussion. The Cult45 message is that a law mandates separation of children from parents, but it does not.

And in case you missed it, Trump just folded like a deck of cards on the separation issue.

That would be verifying information and I don't see that happening.

When you break the law, you get arrested and thrown in jail. It's pretty clear. He's now allowing the law breaking families to stay together as they are escorted out.
