    Our #immigration system is badly broken. One of its many problems is that one Administration has flexibility to change prosecutorial discretion any time it wants. Congress should not only fix family separation, we must fix #DACA, border security, asylum process, & other issues.pic.twitter.com/JOOWxApR8h

        Okay, but maybe let's tackle those in bite-sized pieces, starting with family separation. And quickly.

        Sir, I am your constituent... fix the family separation problem NOW. The US govt has no business taking custody of minor children away from their parents... apparently with no protocol to reunite them

        Send the entire family back across the border then. They’re crossing at illegal sections and not where they’re supposed to if they want to claim asylum.

        S.3036 just needs a couple of Republicans like you to sign and the family separation will end.

        Trump could end this policy today. Making it conditional is just being complicit in the exploitation of these children.

        Yes. And he want to fix it by passing a bill that will do immigration reform the way they the GOP want. That is why it has not already been fixed. Under Obama McConnell wouldn't let anything on the floor that would pass, And Ryan was no different. Stop blaming Dems..

        Obama fixed nothing with immigration, unless you call letting illegals go to school on our dime and calling them dreamers a fix.

        That is what I said. He wasn't allowed to GOP had control McConnell stated in 2008 he would not vote for anything Obama wanted. He even turned down calling GOP bills to the floor b/c Obama was going to sign them. Unlike you, I truely believe conserv. are the entire problem today.

        Please don't try to use these immigrant children as a bargaining chip in the immigration discussion. That would be paramount to hostage-taking! #KeepFamiliesTogetherAct

        What you need to do is close the borders. If you dont let them in they dont need to be separated. We dont need them. We dont want them. We need our jobs for our US citizens. It is not that difficult. Look at Italy. Simple. Just say "go away, dont come back".

        You justify separating children from their parents. And before you go down the path, you equate that issue with "let them flow immediately into America." That is not what is being proposed.

        The admin DOES have the authority to decide how to prosecute these immigrants. In the past crossing the borders illegally has been a misdemeanor. The Trump admin has CHOSEN to prosecute this as a criminal offense. They said they are using it as a deterrent. Don’t lie for @potus!
