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.

“Now they are not and now parents AND children are not even IN this country.”


The test of the Executive Order was posted upthread, and it says that those family units will be detained in U.S. government facilities. That certainly is inside the United States. The “detained outside of the United States” appears to have been an unsubstantiated rumor.

The problem with the EO is that detaining minors with adults violates federal law and a consent decree mandated by federal courts, so courts could rule that both the minors and the adults must be released. The EO works brilliantly for PR purposes and optics, but is not a permanent solution to a problem created by Congress and that must be fixed by Congress. Ted Cruz’s bill to permit the housing of illegal-alien minors with adults while the asylum process plays out would be a solution to the problem, and we need for the House to pass the bill (leaving aside other aspects of immigration law, including the Wall, “Dreamers,” E-Verify, etc. for a bigger bill that can be debated later on) and force Senate Democrats either to go along with it or else filibuster a bill that will keep family units together during the asylum process.
