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.

Senator Cruz first proposed this a few days ago. I'm not one who's quick to praise Sen. Cruz (if at all), but on this kind of situation I will. Cruz is a real, real sharp lawyer. He saw the situation, seems to have realized that the maniacs over-reached with their "poor children" rhetoric, and solved the problem in a way that won't let the invaders run free.
I'm the most pro-child person you'll ever meet. This is indeed a compassionate solution. I wonder how many of these migrants will choose to go home now that they can't use their or whomever's children as a free pass to illegally enter the US.
What'll they order next? My guess is the "Acme Tax Return Trap." Should be arriving in 2-3 days.
I definitely appreciate your posts...a breath of fresh air.

Let’s get out of this Marxist scam.
And by the way:
“(Principle of unity of the family) (1)
The Conference, considering that the unity of the family, the natural and fundamental group unit of society, is an essential right of the refugee”
Treaties are high-level law that trump court decisions.
What are you talking about? The media’s version was that children were separated from parents.
Now they are not and now parents AND children are not even IN this country.
What is your problem with this. Trump won again and you can’t see that?
This will cheer you up. Spread it around along with all those pics on DRUDGE of Obama Admin doing exactly what they are accusing Trump of.

As to the non-hero, McCain, understand his man Steve Schmidt has withdrawn from the pubbie party and retreated to parties unknown.
I think you mean “impel” to new heights.
He is like a general that tricks the enemy to attack and destroys him. See Gen. R.E. Lee.
POTUS ended it. It's over. Now the hysterical SJW's have to re-tool and stage a die-in over something else. I love this president.
Sorry, but you really are clueless and I think probably a troll.
On second thought...
This might be brilliant.
What it means is catch and release. This was not winning.
President Trump can say democrats forced him to take action.
Senate Democrats reject GOP legislative fix to stop family separations
Check!
All true. And they have used up their Outrage Quotient for the year.
“And still there is no wall.”
A Note on Wall Funding
It could take until October 1, 2031 to build the wall.
It wont be finished for over nine years simply because of annual funding limitations.
From the “moderate” bill:
AVAILABILITY OF BORDER WALL SYSTEM FUNDS.
(1) IN GENERAL.Of the amount appropriated in subsection (a)(1)
(A) $2,241,000,000 shall become available October 1, 2018;
(B) $1,808,000,000 shall become available October 1, 2019;
(C) $1,715,000,000 shall become available October 1, 2020;
(D) $2,140,000,000 shall become available October 1, 2021;
(E) $1,735,000,000 shall become available October 1, 2022;
(F) $1,746,000,000 shall become available October 1, 2023;
(G) $1,776,000,000 shall become available October 1, 2024;
(H) $1,746,000,000 shall become available October 1, 2025; and
(I) $1,718,000,000 shall become available October 1, 2026.
(2) PERIOD OF AVAILABILITY.An amount made available under subparagraph (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F), (G), (H), or (I) of paragraph (1) shall remain available for five years after the date specified in that subparagraph.”
By restricting funding, they are making it impossible for Trump to build his wall system during his Presidency.
I have a feeling Trump will figure it out.
Put Guantanomo to good use.
If they want to enter Cuban-controlled Cuba, let’em.
The left might be able to move him...
but the final moving location might NOT be the place they originally thought. Moving is sometimes NOT a good idea for the ‘movers’
Please, keep your faith held tight. Our nation has never had a leader/doer/shaker as the one we now see.
Thats the take away from the EO
Yeah but it’t sure gotten grip on the fools out there. “So, how many are you taking in?” LOL! They look at me funny when I ask them that.
