Wrong. You do not know the current law.


The only thing Trump could have done with a phone call is to say let the families go free and deal with their non-appearance in court later. He could not have said keep the families detained together because the courts have ruled he can only do that for 20 days max and it is taking 6 weeks plus to resolve cases.


This executive order will be going against previous court rulings but it will be law until someone files lawsuit against it and gets a judge to issue an injunction. Brilliant political move and this will force Dems to either let it go unchallenged and undo the years of legal fighting they put in to get those previous court rulings, or they will have to get an injunction blocking families being kept together and forcing them apart.

And this policy isn't about those kids. It's about the kids travelling with their parents.

don't make up scenarios to justify the mistakes of this administration. Does nothing to support your ideology
As children are separated from their families, law enforcement agents reclassify them from members of family units to “unaccompanied alien children.” Federal officials said Tuesday that since May, they have separated 2,342 children from their families, rendering them unaccompanied minors in the government’s care.

This way if they lose a few they just say they were unaccompanied.

No. The example must have flown right over your head!

Yes, people really should open their minds and look at other news sources.

From Trump to Ann Coulter: Fact-Checking the Most Outrageous Claims About the Migrant Children Crisis


As the outcry over Trump’s policy of separating children from their parents at the border intensifies, many Trump supporters are going on the defense of the president’s policy.
However, many of their claims are divorced from reality.

You clearly do not understand what you are seeing. Wait until you see the howling and legal challenges to his "fold" and you will realize that this is NOT the solution the Dems had in mind when they started this propaganda campaign.

The United States government placed an unknown number of Central American migrant children into the custody of human traffickers after neglecting to run the most basic checks on these so-called “caregivers,” according to a Senate report released on Thursday.

Report: Obama Administration Handed Child Migrants Over to Human Traffickers

where was the outrage two years ago? assuming these children belong to the accompanying adults is dangerous. this subject has been so bastardized. truly no logic or reason.
