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.

Cool. Now we can welcome back Stormy Daniels.
What seriously..are you sure? So no more detention centers..they will be held outside of the US???
Now we will await the 9th Circus’s opinion voicing this order.
I’m relieved that so many freepers think this is a genius move! I’ve been depressed all day over this and now my friends on FR are cheering me up!
They need to run them through the asylum process within the 20 day period and should send the families back. As to the unaccompanied children they need to be returned immediately
watch leftist judge will throw it out saying he has no authority ....
a big LOL If that happens
Wah, wah,wah. Now what are they gonna bitch about? Oh, no free tickets to dizkneeland?
[ This will be challenged and thrown out soon. But he can say he tried. ]

A bit off topic, but...
Any updates on Trump planning to sign Lyin’ Ryan’s massive amnesty bill?
LOL but don’t let that stop the Doomsday clowns from making @$$~$ of themselves with hysterical claims.
On another thread I said he would sign something they don’t want without giving up anything. In fact, this is the opposite of what they want.
Another Thumbs up for the President.

Now I suppose the media will finally move on to the coup plots being investigated by congress now. Right?
