Democrats are too focused on bringing down Trump to let some executive order on family separation rain on their parade. It has become painfully obvious Congress has no appetite for solving immigration.

Texas Democrat: 'Strong racist element' to child detentions
Rep. Beto O'Rourke charged Thursday that racism is a factor in Trump administration policy leading to the detention of children at the border.

I'm no expert but inciting racial tensions is probably not a solution...unless you're a Democrat running for the US Senate.

No, my point is that politicians and the media have polarized immigration to the point that any pragmatic discussion is off the table. This has morphed into a single focus...attack Trump. The Dems will attempt to leverage this discourse going into the mid-terms. Immigration and the families separated at the border have become nothing more than political fodder. DACA is in the same boat.
The focus of my comment was not on racism, I was referring to the executive order that is the subject of this thread and critics who prefer to inject rhetoric instead of presenting a palatable solution. O'Rourke offers no solution, he simply claims Trump is a racist and then criticizes the ORR. Welcome to the new Democratic platform. Didn't work in 2016 and is not looking good for the mid-terms.
I suspect that if you dislike Trump and think he is a racist then O'Rourke is right in your wheelhouse. Meanwhile his political grandstanding does nothing to move the issue forward. Did you read the executive order? Seems reasonable to me. Congress needs to step in and do their jobs. I would have preferred FEMA or another civilian entity to handle the displacement issue instead of DoD.

I read it earlier and it is brilliant. Puts the onus back on Congress where it belongs.
