Legislation. This morning, trump tweeting out republicans should stop wasting their time on immigration until after we elect more senators, congressmen and women in november. Dems are just playing games. Have no intention of doing anything to solve this decades old problem. We can pass great legislation after the red wave. Just two days ago the president reportedly promised House Republicans that he would support them 100 and vowed he would not leave them in the wilderness. But the president s tweet risked stalling what little momentum that republican legislation had. It is also a dramatic reversal for an administration that spent days demanding action from congress. Congress and the courts created this problem, and congress alone can fix it. The president isnt trying to kick the can down the road. Hes actually trying to work with congress. Were going to be signing an executive order. Were also going to count on congress. We look forward to, you know, congress playing a big role in thi
Report and we have a team of reporters tasked with poring over those 500 pages. We will be sharing those findings as we get them. But parts of the report have already leaked earlier today. The washington says the report includes previously unreleased Text Messages between fbi officials, peter shock. Much of the report is expected to focus on the actions of james comey and his former second in command, andrew mccabe, during the clinton investigation. The New York Times reports the Inspector General concluded comey was insubordinate but found no proof that fbi bias affected the outcome. Well get the First Official white house response this hour. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is expected to brief reporters in 30 minutes. But regardless of what the report says, expect the president to seize on those texts. Expect him to target comey who he called a liar, a leaker, a slime ball, dishonest, slippery, shady, and not smart. And above all, expect him to weaponize it against the special counsel, or as
Party has left their fingerprints on the state of our immigration system today. The reagan administrations amnesty policy drew widespread backlash and still gives some conservatives pause today. The inistrion had its faults. The Obama Administration struggled to handle a spike in migrations amid mass deportations. But at the moment, the Current Administration is separating families from their children at our border with mexico, not because of a law, but because this administration has chosen to do so. So far despite nearly 2000 children being separated from their families, whats missing from this story are a flood of images of these Young Children. It was images of children, after all, that spurred the president to change course in syria. So far, this young toddler has become the face of this policy. Stop and look at her for just a moment. And remember that there are thousands thousands of other faces that we have not seen. Thats, in part, because cameras have been granted such limited
Pretending that all individuals coming to this country as a family unit are in fact a family. We have to do our job, we will not doing for our job. We have sworn to do this job. This administration has a simple message, if you cross the border illegally, we will prosecute you. But, the secretary tweeted just yesterday, we dont have a policy of separating families at the border, period. Also, this morning, new criticism overhat policy, period. Former First Lady Laura Bush issue a scathing condemnation in a Washington Post opinion piece, writes this, this zero tolerance policy is cruel, it is immoral and it breaks my heart. Even the current first lady is weighing in a rare statement on policy that says this, we need to be a country that follows all laws, but also a country that governs with heart. Read into that what you will. More republican lawmakers are pushing back on the false claim that democrats are solely to blame here. Here is what senator Lindsey Graham said on friday. Presiden
As mr. Trump and his aides clearly promised. Meanwhile the president is keeping tabs on his favorite skap scapegoat, the democrats, saying, republicans should stop wasting their time on immigration until after we elect more senators and congressmen d congressmen women in november. Demes are just playing games, have no intention of doing anything to solve this decadesold problem. We can pass great legislation after the red wave. Jim, what do you think about this zero tolerance policy . This zero tolerance policy resulting in separation of families, we have not heard from white house officials as to how theyre going to reunite these kids with their parents, how that process will work. We have not had a briefing wlt whi with the White House Press secretary sarah sanders. He said lets give up on reform until after the midterm elections. Earlier this week, it was just on tuesday when the president tweeted, changethelaws and saying this is the perfect time to pass immigration reform. We shou
