Several days of the right saying congress alone can fix it, and then defending this policy...and he caves! Lmao
No one should have to defend a president who follows the law. I suspect Trump caved in to establishment republicans who have backbones made of Twinkies and I wonder how Trump's EO will reconcile itself with the actual law.
Trump will beat the left and piss them off once again. They want catch and release but they will get increased allowable detention time for minors. Kids will stay with their parents but the left will take this to court immediately proving they don't care about the kids it's catch and release they want.
So once again we needed Trump to fix something Obama and congress for that matter didn't and wouldn't. Shocker.
It's a political calculation. His base loved this policy, but the vast majority of Americans opposed it.
"..He said his order would not end the "zero-tolerance" policy that criminally prosecutes all adults caught crossing the border illegally. The order aims to keep families together while they are in custody, expedite their cases, and ask the Department of Defense to help house families." Buh-bye " Catch and Release"...the Illegal-o-crats' primary "voter registration" effort....
Somehow (magical thinking) he'll transform this into a stunning, ethical, moral victory. For the magical thinkers at least.
He caved because HE has no backbone...after lying about how he couldn’t do this lol The amateur hour whitehouse had no idea how bad this move would play with voters
Of course I'll take your unbiased and authoritative view of things. It's a shame all the hysterical, hypocritical crocodile tears never made Obama change his policies about separating illegal families. Oh...right. There was no uproar at all.
You guys told us obama just let everyone in, now he’s the same as trump?? Don’t worry, apparently Schumer is in charge and he’s directing trump.
I wouldn't be surprised to learn that he had no knowledge it was happening. But if you're trying to deny that it happened just keep in mind we have photographic evidence.
Not the same. Obama was warehousing twice as many illegals as Trump. Can't have too many future dem voters, I guess.
