“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.
My mistake in claiming illegals will be held outside country.
There is a law saying families cannot be held together? I have never heard of that one.
Trumps EO was a brilliant move and it bought them time while on!!IMG the rug out from the liberals.
