Three options:
1) Do what you are doing now
2) Let them go (Catch and Release)
3) Jail the kids with the adults.(A court order forbids this without a law change)
Only #2 will be treated as acceptable.
Reunite them in their home countries when they are deported.
I’m a new never Trumper,never republican never conservative and really
Just gonna stop caring. Have fun y’all
I really really like option #1. It is working.
Well legally they can jail the kids with their parents for 20 days... so you will need to hire a bunch of immigration judges and push them through the pipeline fast... or release... so yes its a no win here...
This is the most manufactured crisis there has been.
DON’T LIKE THE LAW TELL THEM TO CHANGE THE LAW! This isn’t an executive problem its a legislative problem!

I think #1 actually makes the most sense, but you have to pick your battles. Too many RINOs and weak-kneed Republicans siding with Democrats to get any meaningful legislation passed. We need a more conservative legislature before this is possible.
Perhaps #2 + ankle bracelets. Certainly not my preference, but I think it would work to avoid the current problem of illegal immigrants failing to show up for their hearings.
Perhaps #3 in which the parents must sign a waiver to give the government permission to allow their children to remain with them. This would mean the children are not being forcibly detained as criminals, their parents are just being given the option of who takes care of their children while they await a deportation / asylum hearing. I don’t think this would violate the court order, and I certainly do not think the left or media would get anywhere trying to sue the government to disallow parents to use such waivers to keep their children with them.
The US should not put in prison any women criminals with children 6 or younger.
And if he did #3, the same people who are so “outraged” about separating families would scream and yell and cry crocodile tears about that.
