Fuck you marsha.
WASHINGTON Rep. Marsha Blackburn expressed sorrow Tuesday for immigrant children who are being separated from parents accused of entering the country illegally, but she placed the blame for the separation policy on liberals and liberal judges instead of President Donald Trump.
As a mother, my heart breaks for the families who are separated at the border, but we are in this position because liberals would not pay to enforce our immigration laws or build appropriate facilities for asylum seekers, the Republican congresswoman and candidate for U.S. Senate said in a statement released by her congressional office
Liberal judges ruled that meant we couldn't keep kids with their families, Blackburn said. That lapse in judgment put us in the difficult position of choosing between enforcing our laws or keeping families together. We don't have to choose if we fix this problem, secure our borders and keep people from coming across our border illegally and choosing to put their families in danger.
Blackburn, who is seeking the GOP nomination for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Republican Bob Corker, did not say whether she believes the Trump administration should end the policy.

"There is no federal law mandating children and parents be separated at the border; a policy resulting in that outcome was enacted in May 2018."

"But there is no law that mandates separating children from their parents. Trumps own administration devised a policy to that effect."
