GOP Rep. Jeff Denham: No It’s Not Acceptable for Trump to Separate Immigrant Families

EXCERPT:

SCIUTTO: "It has been reported by the 'Washington Post' and others, that what the president is doing here is in effect using this family separation as kind of a negotiating cudgel, right, to force Democrats into supporting his border wall. Is that in your view an acceptable negotiating tactic?"
DENHAM: "No. I think it's important that both parties come together on this issue. You know, the issue that we are so hotly debating right now are a lot of the very same issues that were in the 2013 Gang of Eight bill that every single Democrat in both Houses supported. Except that one had almost twice as much money for border wall, that one also ended a diversity lottery. Now, this issue was not addressed in that bill. It is more of a new issue because of a court decision in 2016, but we've got to resolve this issue as well."
