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.

Most of the, “Trump got played, we’ve all been suckered again” are butt hurt Cruz supporters and assorted 3rd rate establishment trolls.

There is no physical way to hold/detain intact families.

Sure there is. It was done before Flores vs. Sessions.

Of course, the left is on a con job, but the American people don’t see that.

That piece is moot if this piece doesn’t pan out. And I don’t think the judge will budge.

“(e) The Attorney General shall promptly file a request with the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California to modify the Settlement Agreement in Flores v. Sessions, CV 85-4544 (“Flores settlement”), in a manner that would permit the Secretary, under present resource constraints, to detain alien families together throughout the pendency of criminal proceedings for improper entry or any removal or other immigration proceedings”

Of course, anyone that disagrees with Trump, in any manner at all, why they must be Crazy or something. Why it’s just not possible to disagree, we should all be dazzled by his brilliance!

The Democrat media and the Republican Establishment media fought about this issue for the last few days.

What a waste of emotions to care about all this media noise.

I didn’t waste any time.

I stay focused on things like Syria where the POTUS says its about ISIS while he has also trashed Syria, Russia and Iran for what they have done there calling it a “disgrace”.

And don’t forget Tommy Robinson sitting in solitary at Her Majesty’s Prison Onley losing weight and growing a beard in those harsh conditions.

Yes, Trump is a genius. What will the next Trump derangement topic be for next week? This is all helping Trump for 2020. There are many democrats that don’t want the illegal invasion I’d be willing to bet.

Copied from a community board that I used to live in.

” These children were kidnapped to be used to blackmail the democrats amongst other things. This is a horrendous act and kidnapping is against the law “

These people believe this.

Doubt she budges because what she essentially did with the 21 day rule is create a legal catch/release. Legislating from the bench.

here we go again...

How many times in the past 18 months has Trump said or did something that the pearl clutchers and hand wringers in here panicked and cried and wailed about that really turned out to be the right thing said or done????

Many, many times...

They’ve already done that a loooong time ago. They want open borders,, no prosecution PERIOD! Trump is forcing them to now admit it.

The democrats have chosen illegals over Americans, once again.

I keep saying, use old cruise ships anchored 10 miles off shore.
