Trump signs order that he says will keep migrant families together
CNBC ^ | 06/20/2018 | C. Wilkie

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday that he says will keep migrant families together during detention on the U.S.-Mexico border.

The president will not abandon his "zero tolerance" policy of criminally prosecuting all adults who cross U.S. borders illegally.

Earlier, he signaled he would sign a measure to stop his administration's splitting of migrant families.

"I'll be signing something in a little while that's going to do that," he told reporters during a White House event after saying he wanted families to be kept together. "I'll be doing something that's somewhat pre-emptive and ultimately will be matched by legislation I'm sure."

Trump added: "We're keeping families together, but we have to keep our borders strong. We will be overrun with crime and with people that should not be in our country."

The order is expected to allow families to be housed together even while adults in the family are being detained or prosecuted for crossing the U.S. border illegally or for seeking asylum at the border outside of a designated border entry point.

They come in together and they can leave the same way, as a family

You realize we do not allow DNA gathering in these proceedings right? The courts have ruled (unlike US citizens, say for No-Refuse DWI) that cannot be gathered for illegal entry.

These folks are released on their own recognizance, never returned to their country.

“The Left has just proved they can move him if they yell loud enough.”

No it shows the right needs to stop sitting around and WAITING for the left to scream, and do nothing more than poo poo them and express disappointment that they aren’t being more civil.

Now people on our side need to get off their lazy asses and stop acting like our role is to type indignation at a screen.

The GOP congress is pathetic. Elections sometimes don’t matter.

We no longer have any border control. Our resources are already stretched too thin. Letting these people wade through our legal system is madness. We don't have the courts or the judges or the will to deal it.

President Trump needs to call in the ambassadors from these Central American $h*tholes and tell them to turn off the spigot. Otherwise all foreign aid with be cut off and remittances will be heavily taxed.

Our system of government is incapable of dealing with this anymore. Even President Trump can barely keep his head above water on this issue. We are losing this battle inch by inch every day.

And still there is no wall.

“This whole thing is stupid.”

That’s what makes this so hilarious.

He tosses them basically nothing.

The left loses their toy.

The story vanishes as quickly as it appeared.

Who will challenge?

Maybe that is the point.

I am disappointed nonetheless.

Geraldo screamed about his valid feelings and implied the other side has no compassion, expecting Hannity to scream back. He did not. Geraldo was left with his mouth open, looking like a total idiot. Well done, Sean.

No more release on own recognizance, otherwise why would detention even be mentioned? This is not gonna be a “pit stop” anymore, read the EO

As to real parental rights, I am sure that they have already contemplated this before creating and signing the EO

What if we start using military judges to help push these asylum claims forward and to adjudicate the illegal entry claims. They could push those through pretty fast. Illegal entry, guilty. Request for deportation immediate.

“Read the EO and tell me where he “blinked”.”

Those guys were acting like this was a grant of citizenship, or something.

A nothing issue, given a nothing sop.

It is being built everyday. Especially the most significant Wall- the determination that the LAW will be enforced.

Have you been paying any attention to the left in this country? It is likely already being challenged because Trump.
