Trump signs an EO to bypass the IMMIGRATION LAW thus giving away his leverage to compell Congress to do their job and change the law and Trump gets nothing in return. What he will get is sued by the ACLU for abusing his Presidential authority by using an EO to bypass the law. Trump is in a lose lose position and the EO will hurt the Republicans in 2018 and will extend the issue into the 2020 election season. Gee, ya think it was planned to do that? S/c.
Don’t panic.......
Catch and Release is what they want, but they won’t get it.
The MSM has been breathless and nonstop to get Trump to lose the argument. So they lied. They said, “Separating families is monstrous”. Rinos agreed, hoping to weaken Trump’s political power for midterms.
After broadcasting Trump’s executive order meeting today, the MSM spouted, “Trump caved, we won”. Shortly after they realized they lost. Why? Because they can’t let the story go. They want ‘Catch and Release’, and they can’t sell that narrative. Although they are currently attempting to. The answer is legislation that Dems refuse to partake and the MSM can’t ignore that because we have a bill ready.
Outcome: Trump will house families together while they wait for hearings and the MSM will have to report the lack of legislation as the only solutuon. The majority of Americans cannot be sold on ‘Catch and Release’ period.
This is not in Trump’s jurisdiction, any more than DACA wa in Obama’s. This is legislative action. It requires Congress.
I can't believe that even Trump has gone wobbly...
Declare a National Emergency.
Use Obama's pen and phone and close the border 100% until the problem is solved.
Let the Mexicans solve the problem.
Or not.
