There Are Repugs That Are Against This Child Separation Policy....

So these Repugs and the Dems need to get together and close the so-called loophole that this Nielsen lady is talking about. Try and pass it and then see who is holding things up and won't close the loophole. I know that this is a Trump/Sessions Zero Tolerance Policy issue and Trump could end this with a phone call. We know he won't do that. So push the issue. Put together legislation that can close this so-called loophole and call Trump and his supportive Repugs to reject it. Then lower the boom on them - that they are the reason this inhumane treatment of kids goes on and make them own it.

Go on the cable news shows and say that they've address this issue in Feinstein's bill and point out that the Repugs won't support it. So if this Zero Tolerance Policy continues and more and more children are separated from their parents and detained - then the Repugs and Trump own it.

Point out to the American People who the real obstructionists are.

There is one more element that is necessary and that is the media. They must stop normalizing what is going on!
