Reporter: Politicians visiting the border as unanswered questions linger for immigrant families folwing trump's executive order. Democratic senator kamala Harris calling for immediate reunification of families. That message echoed by senators across the aisle too. It is absolutely the case that children need to be with their moms and dads. That's the righthing to do.
