"Taking children from their parents" defines the Republican party..

If the leaders can stop this and reverse it in a couple of days, then maybe not........

..................... It is that simple.

The GOP spent years arguing that children need their fathers (and there is no doubt that having a loving father is an asset in a child's life) but then back-tracked very quickly.

They're only pro-family when it suits their political agenda.

that his father lives in Cuba and they could "get rid" of another one. Although I did agree that he should be with his dad. If they had had an option of having his dad come to the US, they'd have found some reason NOT to have done that.
