8. How about the backlog of American citizens filing to bring their spouses to the country, Joe?

Does the American government like separating Americans from their families?

Some thing are more important. . .reuniting families separated at the border and reunited families with the spouses seems to be more important.

Closing Gitmo could be an act of the Commander-in-Chief. Reuniting families could be an act of the Chief of State. Both could be done quickly if you felt it was important.

If I sound bitter, I am a bit bitter, Mr. President. Your CBP refused to allow my foreign wife to rejoin me, subjected her to anti-Chinese bigotry, treated her worse than we treat inmates in prison, then sent her home even though she has a husband in Arizona waiting to start her green card. There are 500,000 Americans in my position being separated from their families.

No one's family should ever be separated, Mr. President.
