The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

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).

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.”‘
