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.

Exactly and shame on those who try to sugar coat this. He blinked, period.
Why can’t they just put them back on the other side of the border, I. e. get them right back out of the US, with a warning to not try again.
Just get more border patrol agents, until the wall is built, to enforce this. I think it would be cheaper and more effective, than to house all these illegals and their children for months, have a trial and so on.
The leftist keep getting their bells rung by Trump, while people like you run up and down this site declaring the left is winning.

Gak...you’re FOS as usual.
sad you cant argue just tired name calling .
pathetic .
You'd first have to demonstrate an ability to think, or reason clearly, for me to care one way or the other.
Anyone who goes on record as believing a person would invest eleven years of their life, logging over 60,000 posts, just to troll a discussion forum, isn't exactly firing on all cylinders upstairs.
As far as protesting, you're damn straight, I am. You started this bs with an unprovoked ad hominem attack on my character. Well, I fight back, homie, as many Freepers will tell you.
And yeah, I have gone shooting with JimRob, and a gang of veteran Freepers.
You? After five years here, you don't even have a profile on your home page.
Phhhttt...
Argue? Your only argument is non-stop, “We’ve all be suckered, Trump got played, Trump caved” etc.
There are about 20-30 others who do the same as you. The pattern is clear. Can’t miss it.
“And yeah, I have gone shooting with JimRob, and a gang of veteran Freepers.”
Well whoopee f’n doo for you fella!! Looks as if you put one over on ol’ JimRob and those other high falutin’ veteran Freepers.
“You? After five years here, you don’t even have a profile on your home page.”
Lol, right. I guess I don’t see the need to “prove” my bona fides. I know who and what I am and sit very comfortably in my skin without finding it necessary to name drop.
Carry on Freeper, but know this. I will be carefully reading all your posts for signs of trolling and all not hesitate to call you out and report you to the troll police.
Dude, you're making yourself look more ridiculous with every post.
If I really wanted to ratchet this up, I could ping dozens of veteran Freepers to our little exchange, but I won't do that to you.
Better that I let you drop this and walk away in peace.
You've had your fun, now leave me be.
“If I really wanted to ratchet this up, I could ping dozens of veteran Freepers to our little exchange, but I won’t do that to you.”
OMG,OMG NOT THE FREEPOLICE!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK, sparky I’ll cut you some slack since I see you are getting a bit desperate.
I will be watching your posts though so be very, very careful!
Windy is not a troll. If you look at his posting history he is good at posting without thought or research.
Sure, we’re all entitled to our opinions and interpretation.
I’ll stick with mine but thanks for the input.
Some snowflakes I know at work are saying that the whole children in cages accusation is proof that Trump is the one who is supporting child trafficking.
Mental cases...................
I will be watching your posts though so be very, very careful!
Desperate? Hahaha...
If I were desperate, I would have pinged the Texas posse and the Dawg Pound to your bs by now, but hey, I'm a peaceful man, and there's no need to call out the militia to handle a mild irritant.
You actually don't rate the sort of verbal beatdown they'd rain on you.
As far as watching my posts, why wait? There are over 60,000 of them, stretching back to 2007. Go ahead, Troll Detective. Check 'em out, and cold bust me in front of the whole forum.
Hahaha!
The fact you refuse to let this go despite begging me to leave you alone simply certified your troll status. It’s like I said, you protest to much. Only those who are outed react as you have.
As for your Texas buddies? Bring ‘em on!
Oh, and 60,000 posts just means you need to constantly reenforce your own sense of worth. This need is a reaction to deep feelings of insecurity.
You are in short a legend in your own mind.
Silly gnome. You began this by insulting me with an unprovoked ad hominem attack.
And for what? I posted an opinion you didn’t like.
A real man would have withdrawn that dumbass insult at my first objection, and engaged me on the actual meat of the discussion, but you never did.
Nope. You chose to double down on your incivility, and continued to prattle on at me like an emotionally wounded school girl.
Enough. I’ve lost track of the number of anti-social gnomes who’ve come in here badgering veteran Freepers over the years. Like you, they were all self assured jackasses and crybullies, and every one eventually rode the lightning.
You’re a tiresome lout, and I weary of you nibbling at my heels, but I’ll let you have the last word because I know your unstable psyche demands it.
Make it good.
