Trump and Sessions can end immigrant family separations without Congress’ help

 

On The Conversation, I offer thoughts on the alternatives to family separation of migrant families available to President Trump.  None of them require congressional action.  My concluding paragraph:

“Previous administrations have responded to similar situations at the U.S.-Mexico border, but none have resorted to the separation of families as a device to deter migration from Central America. The president has said that Congress should fix it. But the president has the power to do that himself.”
