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.

I am amazed...I have been since he went to the border and said that McCain was no hero and showed Linda’s phone number to all who was there and watching...I used to hit the floor but now when Our President does something, I just eat more popcorn and watch how and what he does...
So glad I’m here to see History in the making...
Make America Great Again!!!
Laura Ingram said out of 12,000 only 2,000 were actually with family members.
Military bases, Trump has ordered Mattis to get the military bases ready for these “Families” who will be held at the US/Mexico border..but hey that wont be enough for the left, now it will be instead of “OH NO SEPARATED FAMILIES” to “RELEASE THEM NOW, OPEN BORDERS NOW”
How many can GITMO hold?
If you want to really get the morons going contract Halliburton to handle it.
They want Trump’s supporters dead, too.
The intolerant haters started up their usual ploy again today:
“I’m just gonna go ahead an put this out there instead of stewing on whether I hurt peoples feelings or not. If you agree with the White House policy of separating families at the border... I don’t want to be your friend/family/acquaintance anymore.”
I flipped over to Hannity at the moment Geraldo lost his mind.
Crazed is the only word I can use to describe him.
I had little respect for him, but that finished me off.
Juan and Geraldo now occupy the same shut off immediately list.
Can’t wait to see the democrat judge that blocks this one.
Ohhhhhh, that could work.
Not only that but I heard yesterday that when Judge Gee signed the order, she said that the conditions the kids were living in UNDER OBAMA, were HORRENDOUS..but hey not a peep from the press
Don’t get too ecstatic. The Left has just proved they can move him if they yell loud enough.
He took away their plaything.
Now they can go sod off and find something else to complain about.
So, the EO is null and void?
Undrstood ... It just raises a huge question. If anybody actually knows, I'm interested.
“It is a crime to seek asylum outside designated US entry points.”
They can legally seek asylum anywhere, I believe.
“The contracting states shall not....impose penalties on refugees who entered illegally in search of asylum if they present themselves (Article 31)”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_Relating_to_the_Status_of_Refugees
They have a duty to seek it in the first available country, i.e. Mexico, I believe.
A refugee is
“A person who owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality and is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country; or who, not having a nationality and being outside the country of his former habitual residence as a result of such events, is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to return to it.”
None of these people are refugees.
Waiting for update. We should rent old cruise ships and anchor them 10 miles out. Boat goes out twice a day, attorneys welcome. Hold classes for the kids and Famfire off the stern for recreation.
Yep, that's the bottom line.
Not by giving them the opposite of what they want. This just means the 10,000 will be in custody rather than just 2,000.
I see the RATS as having played into his plans and has check-mated them, AGAIN.
Their plans are from the Wiley Coyote toolbox.
“Refugees shall be treated at least like nationals in relation to
elementary education (Article 22)
public relief and assistance (Article 23)
labour legislation and social security (Article 24)”
They can get welfare from day 1.
Tomorrow or Friday Rosenstein will be brought up for impeachment. The president knows this immigration crisis was a political chess move, and a desperate one by the Dems at that. Do you seriously think the president won’t have a counter move of his own? Tomorrow or Friday Rosenstein gets the ax and the Dems will absolutely freak out!
