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.”
Asked if that meant Democrats would not support a bill backed by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to keep immigrant families together while seeking asylum on the U.S. border, Schumer said they want to keep the focus on Trump.
McConnell can't because that requires 51 votes, and there are anywhere from 3 to 14 cucks in the Republican senate depending on what your definition is
Dude just give Trump the border wall. Isn't that a small price to pay to save the lives of all of these kids?

>muh executive order The only other option is "catch and release" which essentially releases the family back into the US and gives them a court date to attend. Virtually none come to courts when their time comes, instead they always flee to sanctuary cities.
Democrats are unironically demanding Trump not enforce the law for "parents" of children, even if they may be child smugglers.

Pretty much this. If you ask a lib for a solution, it's just deer in headlights.
