Chuck Schumer mockingly offered President Trump a pen, and Trump took it. He signed an executive order Wednesday, aimed to end family separations at the border.

This doesn’t change much. I think this is his way of trying to pacify the liberal squealers while punting the ball to Congress. Congress ultimately has to make the change.
He went on a tweetstorm about this Wednesday morning.
We shouldn’t be hiring judges by the thousands, as our ridiculous immigration laws demand, we should be changing our laws, building the Wall, hire Border Agents and Ice and not let people come into our country based on the legal phrase they are told to say as their password.

Agreed.
The Border has been a big mess and problem for many years. At some point Schumer and Pelosi, who are weak on Crime and Border security, will be forced to do a real deal, so easy, that solves this long time problem. Schumer used to want Border security – now he’ll take Crime!

What is the purpose of the House doing good immigration bills when you need 9 votes by Democrats in the Senate, and the Dems are only looking to Obstruct (which they feel is good for them in the Mid-Terms). Republicans must get rid of the stupid Filibuster Rule-it is killing you!

It all comes down to this simple fact: The Schumers of the world don’t want to solve the problem. They want open borders. That’s why they continue to drag all of this out. They’re just not brave enough to admit it out loud.
If Republican lawmakers want real change, they’re going to have to figure out how to override the Democrats. Open borders? Not an option.
