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

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.

He had to get control of this mess that has been created somehow but I disagree that it is necessary for any other reason.

He is having to respond to a left created problem and that is just wrong. It sickens me.

This is the white racist President of Mexico who steals everything not nailed down for himself and his ruling class buddies (sound familiar?) and sends his non-white poor north to feed like parasites off American Taxpayers.

He's a degenerate crook, a monster, and an enemy of the US Citizenry.

He and his cronies are engaged in a proxy war against the USA.

Time to invade Mexico City again, time for a regime change.

Only one reason the Deep State has put a cone of silence around violence against children in Mexico and Central America. They helped cause it. MS-13 is their baby. Drug Cartels with arms more powerful than the local police is their baby. Every single problem a globalist wants to fix is a problem they created.

Mexicans and Canadians caught illegally entering our country can be either held and charged or immediately returned to their country. Children can be held 20 days by law while relatives or a foster home is found.

Those from nations other than Canada or Mexico who are asylum seekers can be either held until asylum is granted or if in the interview it is determined they don’t qualify (90%+ don’t) they can be sent back to their home country.

There is no actual catch and release law except where it involves children and they are not just allowed to walk out the door.catch and release has been handled differently by each of the past Admin. including this one.

You can spin it any way .

Trump did cave .

Yesterday. Trump said it was Law and stood firm .
And today after Chuckie Schummer demanded a EO .
Trump complied .

Amnesty is Next .

Its sad but the facts .

The Dem media and Dems are crowing just like when the Ryan budget was signed .

Once you show weakness the Left gods for more .

Feel free to think whatever .

Ok,fine, keep’em together—in military transport planes headed South. I’m sick of hearing about an invasionary force bringing spawn to plant here. Don’t invade another country, don’t bring kids(how many of these ‘kids’ are tattooed teens?) when you break the law. Put up the wall, with armed guard towers and drones, mines,napalm-I don’t care! Secure our borders NOW!

“Trump said he will not end the administration’s “zero tolerance” policy of criminally prosecuting every adult who crosses U.S. borders illegally, including those seeking asylum”

Not catch and release!

I have been also. I saw it as caving. It’s already been determined there will be less crossings if they know they will be separated. And this just negates everything the Department of Homeland Security secretary said – and she made a great case for keeping them separated.

The best case being, it forces Congress to do something. Now they won’t do a damned thing.
