Okay fellow Freepers who can actually read and digest what they read. I would like to get your opinion on the wording of the heart of the EO as follows and with highlights:

Sec. 3. Temporary Detention Policy for Families Entering this Country Illegally. (a) The Secretary of Homeland Security (Secretary), shall, to the extent permitted by law and subject to the availability of appropriations, maintain custody of alien families during the pendency of any criminal improper entry or immigration proceedings involving their members.

As there is no appropriation for housing families together and as housing them together is not legal, what exactly does this EO do? How does it provide for uniting these families? It looks to me that Trump gave them absolutely nothing and that no one has figured it out yet.

This EO cannot take effect until Congress changes the law? What am I missing?

The only way to solve a "pretend" crisis is to issue a "pretend" solution.
