president trump stood his ground over his controveral zero tolerance immigration policy and th backlash over border patrol riagentsng families apart continues to grow especially after the new recordingsere re t ed capital hill hing tofind a ne president meeting withpu blicans at this hour. thisup was ssed to be a week where they're debating different immigration bills. ts is a new wrinkle thrown into the mix. a. absolutely. what we have right now is a public relations and a political disaster for republicans and it was shoveled onto them by president trump and this new zero tolerance where they're sepating famil ies at the borde they're ostensibly going to be discuss ing these to house reblican immigration bills. never ' hoping toddress the blight of dreamers. the president is going tet g an ear full of republicansment this is a white hot political issue.

6:36 pm
let's remember here in a lot of these cases you do have people seekingemsigh. it's heart breaking, but what do you do if you're not gong t hold these kids -- what do y do i what's the end result here in what does capital hill want to see accomplished in. >> i thist the firhing that he they have to do is somet that addresses the plight of these children who are being separated from their families. >> these kids are innocent.ht >>, the administration is saying that the media is sort of playing this wrong and tt a lo of these children are being brought here with people who are tst their paren so they can abused thr child smug letter o sr drug traffickers or other means things like that. i think krir teen nielsen the secretar of hole land security said ten thowf the 12,000 children didt come here with their parents, they came here with other people. so there is
