You know there is a solution...
1) Fire Stephen Miller
2) Order CBP to stop illegally blocking our legal points of entry to asylum seekers
3) Mandate the right to an attorney for all persons in immigration courts
4) End family separation at the border
5) End baby internment camps
6) Fund solutions to the crisis in Central America. That means actually HELPING the governments of Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala. And no, having rich "Christian" kids going down there on Spring Break to paint half a wall somewhere so they have some BS story to write about on their college applications isn't real help.
7) Legalize most narcotics in the US to help remove much of the power of Mexican criminal gangs
8) Make it illegal for any non-citizen to purchase a firearm from any private or public seller. Enforce mandatory jail sentences for those not complying with such laws. Strict enforcement. Demand strict record keeping tying sales of firearms so that we can shut down the straw buyer loophole allowing guns going to Mexican gangs.

This is going to be worse than Katrina, politically. The Dems are perfectly willing to let Trump off the hook, but not at the expense of our asylum laws. And the Dems don't control anything. The GOP can pass a bill with ZERO Dem support. And Trump can end his separation policy and blocking of the border to asylum seekers at anytime.
And DACA is still out there as well.
It doesn't have to be this way. But Trump is so racist that he can't back off. The Dems aren't going to back down on their defense of common decency and opposition to racism. I'd rather be fighting for what's right, rather than what is 'white/supported by white supremacists'.
