Ted Cruz's border bill to end family separations makes sense

From the beginning of the Trump presidency, Democrats and liberals in news media have had a surfeit of rhetorical and stylistic targets to attack in the White House. But until this month, they have struggled mightily to find anything substantive or policy-related that could really damage President Trump politically.

But now they may have finally found their weapon of choice.

Trump’s zero tolerance policy at the border appears to fulfill his promise to enforce immigration law and end the controversial practice of “catch-and-release.” But in certain specific cases where parents and children cross the border illegally together, strict enforcement requires a lengthy separation of families in cases where an asylum claim is filed by a family after it has been caught illegally sneaking in.

  1. Easy. End asylum programs. Tell asylum seeks that "we don't do that any more" and "try next door in Mexico or South America"

  2. Do not piecemeal immigration policy...if they don't like the present separation policy then do a comprehensive bill. Add E-verify, no chain migration, cut immigration totals, border wall, no head of the line, etc.
