Talked last week about reports that VA rule changes could allow doctors to discriminate against Democrats and unmarried veterans.
TLDR: This is not what we do in America. It’s unpatriotic, and it’s illegal.

This from Rubio is misleading in important ways.
1. These children are constitutionally entitled to remain in the country if someone wants to assume their care.
2. The families' lawyers are claiming that no meaningful opportunity was given to determine that.
3. That's a due process problem.
