Are you kidding. Until it blew back in their face, the trump administration was bragging about it.

Sessions doubled down with " We cannot and will not encourage people to bring their children by giving them blanket immunity from our laws"
This is a clear policy change, as I said. It isn't a law change, as the law was in place. It's a policy of zero tolerance prosecution of the law.... which has always worked so well with all the other "zero tolerance" policies we've had the government put in place.
