President Trump caved to enormous political pressure on Wednesday and signed an executive order meant to end the separation of families at the border by detaining parents and children together for an indefinite period.
“We’re going to have strong — very strong — borders, but we are going to keep the families together,” Mr. Trump said as he signed the order in the Oval Office. “I didn’t like the sight or the feeling of families being separated.”
But Justice Department officials said it was not clear whether the practice of separating families could resume after 20 days if a federal judge refuses to give the government the authority it wants to hold families together for a longer period.

The only real victims in this reprehensible affair isn’t the President but the very kids liberals claimed they wanted to help.
They got their virtue signaling victory but the truth is nothing will change for the vast majority of kids who have no parents or relatives in this country to take them in.
You have to ask yourself, given that will remain the situation, what purpose did beating up the President serve?
These people are despicable and what they did served no one.
Here’s the thing- the left were screaming, as of late yesterday- that trump was ‘ripping parents out of the arms of their parents’- so trump signs an executive order declaring kids can stay with their parents while they are begin prosecuted- and now the left- today- are screaming “Trump is locking kids up with their parents”
The truth of the matter is- democrats will not be satisfied with anything but ‘catch and release’- immediate release- and they will excoriate this president no matter what he does- bec ause this is their big midterm election hopes-
President Trump didn’t retreat in the least. What he did, was tie the Liberals up in a Gordon’s knot.
The libs were demanding that children be kept with their mothers. There is a law against that. Trump said, ok, here’s a worthless EO - let them keep the children with their mothers. And the ACLU immediately sued that children can’t be kept with mothers.
They don’t know if they’re coming or going.
And all of this babble about ‘separated children’ being permanently psychologically scarred, well, I guess no military should ever deploy because they might scar their children; and I guess no parent should go on a week-long business meeting out of town because it might traumatize their children. And nobody should go to jail because it might be harmful to children. Or maybe only Hispanic children count? For them everything for us, nothing?
“You have to ask yourself, given that will remain the situation, what purpose did beating up the President serve?”
It served the only purpose the propagandists care about: they scored some political points with the gullible.

...”How does Trump “retreat” from a policy that wasn’t his to begin with?”...
If the left wing media did not distort, refuse to cover news, rewrite history, fantasize, and outright lie about this President every day, they would have nothing to say.
It is the people who know history and how our Republic and it’s separation of powers are designed to work who know what is going on. Trouble is that the younger generations did not live through historical events and the administrations of different Presidents and have not been taught history properly in schools, so they are literally ignorant of facts. So, they make emotion their guide. Dangerous stuff.
...”The only real victims in this reprehensible affair isn’t the President but the very kids liberals claimed they wanted to help.”...
The liberals lie. They do not care for children and late abortions prove that. Many of us believe that liberals know they will have trouble winning elections with true Americans, so they want to import another nation of people to indoctrinate for votes. Also, the extremely rich over this world seem to have a lust to control the whole planet, so, to do that, borders must be removed. Once their utopia of absolute rule is established, they can make the call over life and death and can eliminate any opposition in addition to enslaving everyone not in their class. Today, the most innocent are snuffed out through abortion, tomorrow, if our borders are not secured, _____________...You fill in the blank.
And now the leftists will take it to court to stop him from keeping families together...smart move.
Well, if they defeated Trump, they must also have defeated Obama.
Trump knows that soon a federal judge will order him to separate the kids again. Then he can have a field day. The left is too stupid to learn.
