Additionally, the bill will prevent the separation of apprehended undocumented minors and their parents/legal guardian.
Trump blames Democrats for his administration’s policy of separating undocumented families
In a tweet Friday, Pres. Trump blamed Democrats for his administration’s policy of separating undocumented families caught crossing at the border.
The Democrats are forcing the breakup of families at the Border with their horrible and cruel legislative agenda. Any Immigration Bill MUST HAVE full funding for the Wall, end Catch & Release, Visa Lottery and Chain, and go to Merit Based Immigration. Go for it! WIN!

In April, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced a “zero-tolerance policy” on illegal immigration.
During a law enforcement conference in Arizona last month, Sessions warned, “If you are smuggling a child then we will prosecute you. That child will be separated from you as required by law. If you don’t like that, then don’t smuggle children over our border.
