Trump signs order that he says will keep migrant families together
CNBC ^ | 06/20/2018 | C. Wilkie

Posted on 06/20/2018 12:17:33 PM PDT by Red Badger

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.

Great end-around on the loons

Senator Cruz first proposed this a few days ago. I'm not one who's quick to praise Sen. Cruz (if at all), but on this kind of situation I will. Cruz is a real, real sharp lawyer. He saw the situation, seems to have realized that the maniacs over-reached with their "poor children" rhetoric, and solved the problem in a way that won't let the invaders run free.

I'm the most pro-child person you'll ever meet. This is indeed a compassionate solution. I wonder how many of these migrants will choose to go home now that they can't use their or whomever's children as a free pass to illegally enter the US.

Their plans are from the Wiley Coyote toolbox.

What'll they order next? My guess is the "Acme Tax Return Trap." Should be arriving in 2-3 days.

Convention and Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees

“Article 44 denunciation
1. Any Contracting State may denounce this Convention at any time by a notification addressed to the Secretary-General of the United Nations.
2. Such denunciation shall take effect for the Contracting State concerned one year from the date upon which it is received by the Secretary-General of the United Nations.
3. Any State which has made a declaration or notification under article 40 may, at any time thereafter, by a notification to the Secretary-General of the
United Nations, declare that the Convention shall cease to extend to such territory one year after the date of receipt of the notification by the Secretary-General.”

Let’s get out of this Marxist scam.

And by the way:

“(Principle of unity of the family) (1)
The Conference, considering that the unity of the family, the natural and fundamental group unit of society, is an essential right of the refugee”

Treaties are high-level law that trump court decisions.

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.

LOL, speaking of Graham. My word! How he has changed his tune in the past few weeks.

As to the non-hero, McCain, understand his man Steve Schmidt has withdrawn from the pubbie party and retreated to parties unknown.

I think you mean “impel” to new heights.

He is like a general that tricks the enemy to attack and destroys him. See Gen. R.E. Lee.

POTUS ended it. It's over. Now the hysterical SJW's have to re-tool and stage a die-in over something else. I love this president.

No more release on own recognizance, otherwise why would detention even be mentioned? This is not gonna be a “pit stop” anymore, read the EO

That detention you're talking about is no more than 20 days, and then they're released, in the US, without exception.

“And still there is no wall.”

A Note on Wall Funding

It could take until October 1, 2031 to build the wall.

It won’t be finished for over nine years simply because of annual funding limitations.

From the “moderate” bill:

“AVAILABILITY OF BORDER WALL SYSTEM FUNDS.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—Of the amount appropriated in subsection (a)(1)—
(A) $2,241,000,000 shall become available October 1, 2018;
(B) $1,808,000,000 shall become available October 1, 2019;
(C) $1,715,000,000 shall become available October 1, 2020;
(D) $2,140,000,000 shall become available October 1, 2021;
(E) $1,735,000,000 shall become available October 1, 2022;
(F) $1,746,000,000 shall become available October 1, 2023;
(G) $1,776,000,000 shall become available October 1, 2024;
(H) $1,746,000,000 shall become available October 1, 2025; and
(I) $1,718,000,000 shall become available October 1, 2026.
(2) PERIOD OF AVAILABILITY.—An amount made available under subparagraph (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F), (G), (H), or (I) of paragraph (1) shall remain available for five years after the date specified in that subparagraph.”

By restricting funding, they are making it impossible for Trump to build his wall system during his Presidency.

I have a feeling Trump will figure it out.

The left might be able to move him...
but the final moving location might NOT be the place they originally thought. Moving is sometimes NOT a good idea for the ‘movers’
Please, keep your faith held tight. Our nation has never had a leader/doer/shaker as the one we now see.

) The Attorney General shall promptly file a request with the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California to modify the Settlement Agreement in Flores v. Sessions, CV 85-4544 (“Flores settlement”), in a manner that would permit the Secretary, under present resource constraints, to detain alien families together throughout the pendency of criminal proceedings for improper entry or any removal or other immigration proceedings.

That’s the take away from the EO
