"A special House 'working group' led by Rep. Kay Granger has finalized a draft of its 'set of principles' for GOP legislation dealing with the border crisis — including a call for putting an end to the 'catch-and-release' system for unaccompanied minors. Several of the proposals clash dramatically with what House and Senate Democrats say they will go along with.
