Ryan: ‘Ridiculous’ to Choose Between Enforcing the Laws and Keeping Families Together

EXCERPT:

RYAN: "So let's look at what's going on. This court ruling goes back to I think 2008. And the law should not have our government choose between enforcing our borders and enforcing our law and securing the borders and keeping families together. That's ridiculous. It’s a ridiculous choice. Tomorrow we’re going to have a vote on legislation that makes sure that we can enforce our laws and keep families together. And it's about custody. It's DoJ versus DHS. I know a lot of you cover this issue, you know that. We’re saying stick with DHS, and by the way, we’re going to finance facilities for families to make sure that they can be taken care of. So that we don’t have to have this ridiculous choice between enforcing our borders and enforcing the law and keeping families together. We think it’s a false choice."
