Senate Democrats indicated Tuesday they may not agree to narrow legislation that would end the separation of children from parents who cross into the country illegally at the southern border.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., refused to say if he and other Democrats would support a bill that Republicans are working on, and when pressed, said several times that President Trump should act on his own to stop these family separations from happening.
"Let's hope we never get to that. Let's hope the president does the right thing and solves the problem, which he can do," Schumer said. "That's the simple, easiest and most likely way this will happen."
Schumer said Congress has long failed to pass an immigration reform bill and that Trump shouldn't wait for that result, and instead should act on his own.

This is a good issue, to deal with by carefully crafted, humane Executive Order.
Take care of kids' medical,, schooling, and gets lots of footage, of them laughing, eating, playing etc.

Dems don't want the problem solved, this is a campaign issue.
Trump should come out now, show the American people the Dems are against this then issue an EO..

Yep. The dems & media have created the crisis, so highlight their lies by offering legislation that fixes the problem they claim needs fixing but denies them what we all know are their true goals.
Then blast their reaction loud and clear.

Call a vote and get them on the record. Right before the November election.
