It should be reiterated that if Trump is talking about the policy of family separation, that this is a Trump admin policy and a Trump admin policy alone.
Trump could end the policy today with a phone call, as Lindsey Graham has said.

Former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci has spoken up about the policy of separating families at the Mexican border: "[Trump] has to step in there and has to end this thing because I think it is an atrocious policy. It’s inhumane" https://thebea.st/2JLa6V7

Forcing the Democrats to vote on family separation to restrict legal immigration to help these kids is kinda genius unfortunately. The more the media focuses on this, the more Democrats will be forced to do something before they hopefully regain the House or/and Senate in 2019.
Republicans can't even pass a vote along party lines. Democrats seem to be on board with Feinstein's bill and if they get 50 votes, Pence voting against or Trump vetoing would be a gift for Dems heading into elections and another example of how republicans cannot lead.

If President Obama (who got nowhere with North Korea and would have had to go to war with many millions of people being killed) had gotten along with North Korea and made the initial steps toward a deal that I have, the Fake News would have named him a national hero!

The President’s son likes a tweet about how crying children who’ve been separated from their parents are actually crisis actors.
