Melania Trump issued the statement Sunday after weeks of demagogy from the media and the left.

“Mrs. Trump hates to see children separated from their families and hopes both sides of the aisle can finally come together to achieve successful immigration reform,” the statement read. “She believes we need to be a country that follows all laws, but also a country that governs with heart.”
The statement clearly expressed hope for a solution but only if “both sides of the aisle” could agree. This is key, since the Democrats have mostly been unwilling to countenance any plan that includes actual border security. She also said she wanted to see us govern “with heart,” but not at the expense of laws.
So, how did the media take this?
