it requires the attorney general to file a motion in court that the settlement from 1997 to allow the administration to detain children with their parents. right now there are restrictions on what they can do in terms of detainment of children. ministrationsious have decided to use civil prosecution to make sure families are not separated. we should expect a legal challenge that say this is still not the way to go. advocates who say we do not need to take away the rights of kids. they are not going to be happy with this. joe: part of the argument the administration made previously is they were compelled to separate families on the basis kids couldn't be held in detention for longer than 20 days. if you are going to detain the

parents then you have no choice. how do you square that circle, where you detain them with that also violating the limits on how long you can detain children? >> this is where the administration has to prioritize. does it want to keep families together, which would require civil prosecution, on whether to do a maximum criminal prosecution for everyone who crosses the border, or does it go that route of criminal prosecution for everyone at the risk of separating families? obama and bush said they would not separate families. they went civil prosecution route. the problem is in many cases the rights of children require releasing the kids after a certain time with the administration calls catch and release. asylum-seekers and it having to be released into the country as they await their hearings. some people never show up.

the administration wants to end that. the trump administration has a group of people that said they are going to go the route that separates families. we have any idea what the numbers are of the people who don't return? back to julius question, is there a prayer of weber midi getting through on this? >> there are studies that show it is a minority of people who do not show up. with asylum claims for they want to get right with the law. nobody wants to live in the shadows. as far as a legislative solution of this is important to watch. it is not clear the administration has the ability to do this. republicans, i spoke to

the vote counting team and they do have the votes. they are encouraging the president to speak personally with a list of lawmakers to try to persuade them. if that does pass the house it is going nowhere. it needs a nine to mcgrath's. the only way congress does something is if that puts a situation to deal with families, doesn't do the law, doesn't do this extra money for border security. a narrow solution acceptable to both parties, that is still plausible. short-term century -- symptoms. quickly, you wrote a great article today looking at how this plays politically.

i don't see how they are going to square this circle before the date. joe: how did the tensions within angela merkel's own government complicate everything? it complicates massively. what britain has done when it comes to this negotiating position in europe is to overrely on berlin. we saw this during david cameron's own renegotiations with the european union ahead of the referendum. angela merkel was not able to give this much attention, because she was struggling with the migration crisis. i think the u.k. hoped it could do a special deal with germany. germany has other issues and other problems domestically. you see this trouble that angela merkel is in.

there could be a crucial point within brexit negotiations, that week.l summit next another reason we can't be too hopeful is that the migration issue will be on the agenda and merkel will be trying to anger migration leaders around here. is one of many issues weighing on the european union at the moment. angela merkel's inability to concentrate on this might have an impact. great to have you with us, as always. next, and ongoing economic crisis. developers building luxury condos in venezuela. this is bloomberg. ♪
