Considering how much he admires the North Korean dictator, who apart from running death camps also has had several family members executed, it doesn't seem far fetched.

And he has expressed sympathy for nazis, claiming that there are good people among them.

But it's nice that he backed down. I mean, being criticized by the UN, the EU, leading democrats and republicans, the pope, most of the media - that's pretty much business as usual for him, but when not only Laura Bush, but also Melania and Ivanka (who he would date if she wasn't his daughter*) turned against him, he finally caved.

Also, the separation was never required by law. It was just a policy decision, which is why he himself could stop it without any need for congress to do anything.

Lord Trump had to separate families to effectively enforce the law as it is spelled out.

Congress failed to perma-fix this so Lord trump issued this EO as a stopgap.

Congress still needs to deal with this as the Supreme Court could toss the EO.

What happens going forward when it is proven that some of these "parents" are in reality human traffickers?

(happens all the time, but now they'll be locking them up with the kids)

Also I think children in these situations can only legally be detained for 20 days, so what happens after 20 days?

Congress is dysfunctional these days, which is why EOs are more and more common (I believe Obama set a new record).

Nice work Doc- you almost got through a whole post without mentioning Obama!

So TOPOS starts a policy > causes grief > doubles down on it > creates chaos > and then "solves" it with an EO - what a clown.

[Strangelove]

Lord Trump was making a point, trying to get Congress to act.

I suppose now he knows that's an impossible task in this day and age.

Obama.

Using children as pawns - I guess since his own kid is separated from him, he doesn't think it's a big deal.

Once a garbage person, always a garbage person.

LOL - so "which" point was TOPOS trying to make?

The Trump administration changed its story on family separation no fewer than 14 times before ending the policy

Just as Obama said when he was locking up illegal immigrant children. Congress should act on immigration.

Agreed - they should, but both sides like to have wedge issues to feed their bases. The repub had their chance, just as the dems did 8 years ago.

Can't pass now without Dem support

Can't pass now without Dem support

The floor of the House erupts into a shouting match between speaker Paul Ryan and Freedom Caucus head Mark Meadows. The two pointed fingers wildly at each other as Mark Meadows cried, “I don’t care anymore,” saying “I’m done” to other people present. At the time, Meadows was involved in talks about the conservative and moderate immigration bills, both of which require his support. Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R-FL) reportedly joined the fray, prompting Meadows to exclaim (politely) “I’ll sign the dang discharge petition. I don’t care anymore.”‘

Yes... blame it on the dems.
