I'm not going to unrecuse myself because I have a conflict, because I did--was involved in the campaign and knew some things, can't do it.
It hasn't been good, and the American people don't like the idea that we're separating families. We never really intended to do that.
I think we ought to clarify it one way or the other so the public is out there not breaking Federal law.
