When will the children be Reunited? Return the children NOW.

No— turn them away first.

Dems want all the voters( legal or illegal). The latter is what they truly need to ever win another election.

I mean honestly if the plan is to pop out an anchor baby who then gets full citizenship then yes we need some guidelines and to discourage line jumping in front of people waiting and actually following the rules 1 of 2

Let them give birth here and then give them the option of going home with their baby or leaving it here. Easy.

Will the ACLU pay for healthcare to deliver kid, housing, food and schooling ?

They need to be shipped back before anyone else!

They want citizenship by birth. Put there unborn child’s life in danger because of a loophole.

Must keep the flow of the inept uninterrupted
