President Trump tweeted Sunday night that he wants to set up a meeting on immigration with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) "ASAP."
....Based on the comments made by Senator Schumer, he must have seen how dangerous & bad for our Country the Border is. It is not a “manufactured crisis,” as the Fake News Media & their Democrat partners tried to portray. He said he wants to meet. I will set up a meeting ASAP!

Driving the news: Schumer tweeted after touring border detention facilities with other senators in Texas on Friday that the conditions he saw for immigrants were "unbearable, inhumane, heartbreaking."
- Schumer said lawmakers must pass the Democrats' Stop Cruelty to Migrant Children Act, which would end family separations and set minimum health and safety standards at Border Patrol Stations, among other measures.
Humans being locked in cages. To see these people, coming to America in search of a better life, treated in such inhumane conditions.
