Attorney General Jeff Sessions has already said he will make sure enough U.S. attorneys and judges are in place at the border to rule on the cases of this caravan.
I've not so jokingly said, for years, Congress will pass anything on immigration, as long as it doesn't work.
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 see the fact that no one was being prosecuted for this as a factor in a fivefold increase in four years in this count of illegal immigration. So, yes, hopefully people will get the message.
