King Donald Trump the great just made America great on executing a repeal of a law that did exist. What a great man he stopped ripping kids from parents a Policy he alone created.

Now he is deporting the parent and keeping there kids.

It’s American tax payer that is footing the bill to incarcerate these kids but Trump is keeping the facilities a secret and also will not allow entrance to these facilities. What a great man exploiting kids to get the American tax payer to pay for a wall that he said time and time again don’t worry Mexico will pay for the Wall.

Thank you King Trump

Another flat out lie from a liberal, good job dummy!

Essentially he drafted and signed an executive order demanding that he pretend to change his own mind!

I'm thinking he knew what a hue and cry it would cause when it became known that his new zero tolerance policy required that families be detained criminally. And there was no way to get around the actual real law that prohibits children from residing in adult detention facilities for more than 20 days.

Precipitating this larger crisis, exploiting the tremendous emotional uproar then "compassionately walking it back " to the idea of families with children in adult detention facilities (but now that it is a SOLUTION TO A LARGER CRISIS, THE IDEA IS MORE PALATABLE) allowing him to have political support for changing the regulations regarding the 20-day limit for children's residence in the adult facilities. Bingo!

I think the ability to use the children as hostages to garner more political clout in the immigration debate is an extra bonus.

Cagey Bastard in Chief!

You sure use a lot of words to say nothing.

We'll see what happens in 19 days, but he says his zero tolerance policy has not gone away. Today on Rush's show I heard Rush say that the 20-day time limit is not there any more. I did not read the EO all the way through, so I can't say where it says that, if at all - it's not an easy thing to read, not being a lawyer. I also heard Trump is flying families all over the country to different detention centers that are not just a big room with beds on the floor - more like hotels, but I don't know if that's true or just a rumor, either.

Thank you.

The Trump Administration Is Scouting Military Bases to House Migrant Children

With federal facilities running out of room, the Trump Administration is assessing whether military bases in Texas and Arkansas can house immigrant children who are apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border without an adult relative or separated from parents.


The ongoing assessments are due to increasing number of minors under 18 years-old who are being held by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The agency, which is responsible for caring for the children until they can be given to an adult relative, stated it already holds more than 10,000 children in a network of 100 shelters in 14 states.

Army Lt. Col Jamie Davis, a Pentagon spokesman, said Wednesday that the agency has completed assessments at three Defense Department facilities in Texas “for potential use for the Unaccompanied Alien Children program,” adding that the agency will visit another “installation in Arkansas this week.” The facilities are Goodfellow Air Force Base, Dyess Air Force Base, Fort Bliss and Little Rock Air Force Base, according to U.S. officials.

Why don't you run the whole story. And why don't you get your facts straight. Trump just signed an EO keeping illegal families together.

And did you know that there are nine US consulates and one US embassy in Mexico where non-US citizens can apply for asylum for ANY reason without ANY risk of being separated from their kids? Democrats would prefer to never mention this and act as if these families have no other options, to blame Trump.

I don't care, do u? Really?

Moving on.

What can I do to help these children?

What can YOU do to help those unborn children?

Singularity

What I already do.

For the last 7 years.

Open my home to women with problem pregnancies, and their children, who were struggling with the idea of a******n, for as long as they need. I'm on a brief hiatus right now because of recent health issues but their mothers have given birth to six living formerly endangered fetuses so far.
