https://www.marketwatch.com/story/ryan-says-house-will-vote-on-bill-keeping-migrant-families-together-2018-06-20?mod=bnbhThe House will vote Thursday on a bill that would keep migrant families together "while we enforce immigration laws," Speaker Paul Ryan said Wednesday. The Trump administration is coming under increased pressure for its "zero tolerance" immigration policy that has led to children being separated from their parents. "We don't think families should be separated, period," Wisconsin Republican Ryan told reporters. A bill being drafted by House Republican leaders includes a measure requiring the Department of Homeland Security to house families together.
Doesn't NEED a bill! Just needs Der Twitler to tell the DoJ to stop their inhumane policy!!

(45,040 posts)1. We all know what a pile of crap this "bill" will be
It will be a thinly parsed clause suggesting families ought to remain together...
and it will be surrounded with the most heinous racist republican wet-dream policies
including billions in wasted funding Trump's idiotic wall.
And when Democrats refuse to sign on... Ryan will say "but the babies"
and try to hang this whole mess on US !!!
We all know this stupid bullshit maneuver too well and it's much too obvious.
Hey Republicans, go fuck yourself with your "bill".
Free the babies now and demand Trump's resignation.
