A letter to jeff sessions asking him to halt the policy while they work on a solution. its an exercise among house republicans. its going no nowhere in the senate. either the president takes executive action to keep families together until they figure out a long-term solution thats viable. or theres a narrow lay tailored solution. the problem is they dont agree on what to do. democrats are united to overturn this. republicans arent sure if they want to exempt on florez or overturn. this is a mes...
