Trump says he will sign 'something' to end family separations
The Hill ^ | 06/20/18 | Jordan Fabian

President Trump on Wednesday said he will sign "something" intended to end his administration's controversial practice of separating children from their parents who illegally cross the southern border.

"I’ll be signing something in a little while that’s going to do that," Trump told reporters at the White House. "I’ll be doing something that’s somewhat preemptive and ultimately will be matched by legislation I’m sure."

Details about the order remain unknown.

The move would be a major reversal for Trump and comes after the president and his top aides insisted for days that only Congress could halt family separations at the border.

Trump said during a speech on Tuesday that congressional action is the “only solution to the border crisis.”

“We have to stop child smuggling. This is the way to do it,” he said.

His latest comments come after Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen arrived at the White House on Wednesday morning amid reports the administration was weighing an executive order to end the practice of separating families.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders confirmed Nielsen was at the White House but declined to discuss her plans.

So he’s going to issue an EO to stop it now and give legislation a chance to work through the system. But now if he gets a bad bill he can veto it without being labeled Hitler separating kids because that’s not happening anymore. Smart.

What he signs had better be sending them back across the border where they came from!

This is a deal breaker for me!

He can sign that they cannot come across our border ... they have to turn around.. or he can get the wall built pronto.. but he cannot let them come across.. “kids” and all... and get nothing in return! There has to be more.. and the dems now think they have him over the fence and they are not going to budge... plus if he signs something less, he won’t get his “more republicans” this fall.

He is right about needing to beat Congress to the punch.

I hope the “something” means that families go to the front of the line and are deported immediately!

Congress can’t fix a flat tire, much less this.

Bad plan. Enforcing the immigration laws were one of the few things Jeff Sessions did right.

I'm not too happy with letting Rachel Maddow make immigration policy. On top of that, it's $$$ cha ching $$$ Federal contracts with Marriott or whoever to provide room and board. Plus these people will just walk away and disappear. Not winning.

Allowing the democrat media to use this to take control of Congress would mean impeachment and the end of MAGA. So take your weakness and shove it.

Name one example where Trump has not gotten anything in return, when he has not gotten the better end of "the deal".

He needs to make sure that the “chillin” are really children and that they are related to the “parents.”

These jokers would turn everything over to the Dems, while they think they are “sending a message”.

Like the last president didnt exist, apparently. All of their carping and complaining from 2009-2017 was a big old act.

Caving to the Ministry of Propaganda wins him nothing.

Since the lazy Dems demand that President Trump simply ignore the law because of THEIR “feelings”, shouldn’t President Trump sign an Executive Order that:

1. permits the smuggled children to stay with their “parents”

AND

2. funds the cost of constructing the wall, to satisfy MY “feelings”?
