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.

Read the EO and tell me where he “blinked”.

All Freepers in good standing are allowed one knee-jerk reaction per month. This is my first one this year, you big meanies!

CNN is saying he backed down. The message won’t get out in the MSM. There will still be internment camps and forced labor for toddlers.😉

Why can’t they just immediately taken to the south side of the border, where they came from?

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.

Hey, I've still got five unused knee-jerk reactions left on my 2018 Freeper card!

Mark my word, this EO will be used against the use in support of granting amnesty to the illegal invaders and to justify chain migration. Wait and see.

Only one answer for our Great State of Texas. #TEXIT

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.

For sure. But it’s a tempest that never needed to happen, except for Jeff Sessions’ ham-handed approach.

How does this MAGA? Trump blinked, and we’re all going to pay for it.

Agreed...and...I'm sick of people trying to sugar coat this, he caved, period.
