Trump orders end to family separation at the border
Washington Times:
President Trump signed an executive order Wednesday he said will end family separations at the border, moving to end a crisis that has engulfed his administration.The Democrats do not want to fix the problem. They want to have unlimited open borders in hopes of rebuilding their shrinking base. The Russian bots have also been taking advantage of the hysteria promoted by the Democrats to stir anger in the US.
Mr. Trump told reporters he still expects Congress to follow up with action, but he’s taking steps now.
And he insisted the order doesn’t end his zero tolerance policy that lodges criminal charges against illegal immigrants who jump the border.
“What we have done today is we are keeping families together. The borders are just as tough, just as strong,” Mr. Trump said in the Oval Office.
...
Another limitation on Mr. Trump is the timeline. Under a court agreement known as the Flores Settlement children can only be kept in immigration detention for about 20 days.
That gives the government a choice of either releasing the child — which means family separation — or releasing the family as a whole, which is essentially the catch-and-release policy the president objects to.
Democrats Have Zero Tolerance For Illegal Immigration Solutions
Family separation is callous, but it doesn't excuse the Democrats' refusal to do anything about the border
