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.

Why can’t they just immediately taken to the south side of the border, where they came from?
Ya know, that’s the funniest thing I’ve read since noon. Buy yourself a beer. Deadpan humor is good for your health!
Get mad at the Democrats or as I like to call them the “Schmuckocrats” but raging anger at the Dems designed to herd us like cattle into the “Reputzican” rendering plant doesn’t mean anything to me.
Trump was elected POTUS to change things and the Congressional GOP should have approved the wall money last year and thousands of troops, I mean tens of thousands should have been holding the line in the interim on the southern border to turn people back instead of detaining them for crossing into this country.
You are forgiven just don’t let it happen again.

Trolls, effective ones are not obvious. They lay groundwork over months and years. I know what I read and my cognitive abilities are just fine.
If it walks like a Duck and quacks like a Duck, well you know the rest.
You still flogging your ridiculous "troll" bs? And you've even had 24 hours to check my posting history.
Tsk, tsk.
Well, if you ever go shooting with JimRob (like I have), you can tell him ol' Windy is deep undercover troll. I'm sure he'll be grateful for all your diligent detective work.
LOL
Sure, except if I were a troll I would say the things you say.
Anyway, what do you care what I think? Methinks thou doth protest too much.
“be challenged and thrown out soon”
Doubt it.
Nonetheless, an excellent reason to fire Jeff Sessions.
>> This has all been a tempest in a teapot <<
For sure. But it’s a tempest that never needed to happen, except for Jeff Sessions’ ham-handed approach.
Agree...he caved to pressure and now they'll continue with their insanity -
Agreed...and...I'm sick of people trying to sugar coat this, he caved, period.
