Dems’ true goal is to end all border enforcement

Dems’ true goal is to end all border enforcement:
"President Trump climbed down on separating families at the border, but the underlying argument isn’t going away.

What is true is that the law makes it impossible to hold Central American parents and children together for any length of time.
The children have to be released, and if you are going to keep them together with their parents, the parents have to be released, too.
This is the forcing mechanism for waving Central American migrants into the country — more than a quarter of a million children and members of a family group over the past two and a half years — and Trump is right that Democrats have no interest in changing it..."
