That would be the ultimate boondoggle. If he does that, they will know they can beat him down with pressure anytime he does something they don't like. Things will go right back to large numbers of people taking advantage of catch and release bringing children illegally across the border on dangerous journeys, abusing the asylum laws, and more child trafficking. This is exactly what the Democrats want by the way. They don't care about the consequences open borders have on kids such as those being trafficked, unaccompanied minors, smugglers, etc. They don't want to fix anything. They want status quo. Schumer is demanding Trump do this.
It would be an embarrassment for the White House which first of all has handled this poorly from a communications perspective. If this is your policy, you know it is going to get a reaction like this. You should have an A game communications department ready to set the narrative. Instead, Trump did not do a good job articulating it by just blaming the Democrats without explanation. The only person that explained it well was Neilson, but that was days too late when everyone from Trump to his surrogates should have been sticking to that explanation. Meanwhile, the communication's staff continues to allow the narrative to be out there that Trump put's kids in cages when he's using the same facilities that Obama used. No one has even bothered to put out comparison photos. Trump should have Tweeted them.
The best way to handle this - sign the Ted Cruz bill. Support it and vote on it. This will end the catch and release loophole, will add more judges, and keep the families together. I know they want comprehensive reform, but the Cruz Bill deals with a specific problem and can end this situation. It will end the bad PR with midterms coming up, and the kids will be happy. Work on everything else after.
Trump really needs to do an address to the nation free of media spin on the immigration crisis too.
That won’t stop the rage.
You're right, because the rage never was about children or families.
But it still may be the right thing to do.
Whackamole, you whack them as they pop up. They’ll keep popping but the number dwindles over time, and speaking of time that’s the least amount of time expended dealing with it, just break their toys and take them off the table.
True, Laz.
Could be pretty simple: “Any immigrants traveling with children attempting to enter the US illegally will be turned around at the border and denied entry.”
If Trump comes up with a solution to child separation, then he can veto Ryan’s bill.
I think Trump is considering this action, because Ryan is trying to push through an unacceptable immigration/amnesty plan.
Exactly! Pretty simple unless legal issue..why don’t they do that now instead of arresting, processing etc..& then they don’t show for court anyway. Just turn them away if trying to enter w/kids..keeps them together.
Reunite them with a free bus trip south of the border.
Obama started a precedent of NOT enforcing laws he didn’t like. That is part of why you have Trump. Let’s enforce the laws. ALL of them. The bad laws will be repealed. That’s how government is supposed to work...
Exactly....lock’um all up
There are reports that Ivanka has been working on her father to end the family separation.
Trump should mention who started the separation as it was not him.
The entire goal of the globalists is to break down national laws. We must defend our nations, our laws and our peoples.
[Trump is smart and the Libs are going to scream, read the tweet: “through immigration adjudication process”.
He’s going to beef up the courts, make them see a judge, then send their asses back to country of origin. Not going to let them game the system for a future court date. ]
He could use this as leverage to speed up the process.
Now that those wishing to enter the US illegally see that they will be with their children even in detention, our border is going to be overrun. The radicals will push for open borders in order to get their voters in the country. The inevitable end of all of this is Civil War.
