Both Texas senators have proposed legislation.
Today Trump has asked for new legislation giving the Border Patrol a third option to allow families to stay together.

Apparently George W Bush signed the current law into effect. Apparently his wife’s criticism was premature or spot on.

I have a suggestion that will allow families to stay together, reduce costs, and deter cheating.

When the Border Patrol catches them, the BP takes photos, fingerprints, and DNA samples. They are then transported to the border and allowed to cross back into Mexico, where they can stay together while the courts do their thing. Anybody caught in the United States a second time, before they have legal status, will be treated the same as any other criminal caught violating parole. They also would be permanently barred from ever getting a US tourist visa, much less a path to citizenship.
