Well, I guess now all the :chud: bootlickers who kept trying to tell us it was just "enforcing the law" can try to find a way to talk around this.

quote:

President Donald Trump on Wednesday reversed his debunked argument that he had no authority to stop separations of undocumented immigrant families at the border, signing an executive order to keep parents and kids together.

"We're signing an executive order. I consider it to be a very important executive order. It's about keeping families together, while at the same time being sure we have a very powerful, very strong border," Trump said.


...

In the executive order he signed on Wednesday, Trump declared it is his administration's policy to "maintain family unity," including by detaining entire families together "where appropriate and consistent with law and available resources."

The order directs other agencies, including the Pentagon, to take steps to find places to house family units.

The order specifies that migrants entering the US with children will not be kept together if there's a fear for the child's welfare. Families will also be prioritized in the adjudication process.

Even so, the move is almost certain to face immediate legal action challenging the administration's authority to keep families detained at length.

The President was not required to sign anything to change the administration's practice that elicited outrage. He could have reversed the practice of splitting children from their parents with a phone call.

It basically set one huge 20-day timer.

There's a legal settlement (Flores) that binds the government to holding alien minors for a maximum of 20 days. It doesn't say anything about adult aliens. The executive order basically says "ok fine, we'll do that and keep the kids locked up with their parents, but we want it longer than 20 days because the parents' cases are going to take more than 20 days. So we're immediately going to ask a judge to discard that 20 day maximum."

The judge will inevitably tell the government to get hosed. That leaves two options for DHS:

1) "Catch and Release" - release the parent/child and they appear in court at a later date.

2) Clusterfuck redux where kids are removed from their parents again. (The government will end up doing this again)

A big problem here is that the administration has no loving clue how to reunify the separated kids with their parents. All of this poo poo was basically made up as it went along and most of the parents/kids got zero paperwork tying them to each other.

I don't doubt that the making it up as they went along part is true, but I have to ask, how much did they ever even care about reunifying them anyway? Like, it wasn't even a consideration. Just, gently caress em. Lol.

He is still blaming the Democrats and The Law for tying his hands on this policy, while in the same breath congratulating himself for issuing a (superfluous) executive order to stop the policy. And sometimes defending the policy. It's transparently absurd, but then why should he care when his base refuses to attempt any level of critical thought?

That executive order is some serious 2018-in-a-nutshell poo poo. He just did the thing he lied about not being able to do, to cover his rear end for the bigotry he really wanted to do, and he did it in the shittiest possible way while setting it up for failure. When the inevitable end result of exactly what is being said is inevitable right this very moment happens, he'll say it happening is someone else's fault and claim to be the one being unfairly attacked.

Good thing these people don't really exist in meaningful numbers no matter how much you keep posting about them. Top level Democrats constantly acting like Republican-lite doesn't exactly bring people to the polls though. Progressives/far left people are going to vote Dem even if they're dogshit because they hate what the republicans are doing with a passion but if the random independent or non-voter can't see much difference in what either party is going to do for them (nothing) then why should they bother voting either way?

This is really cool. A couple years ago when I was SCUBA diving in Cozumel a family of eagle rays were swimming by the group and the the baby ray was coming over to us and swimming near by us like it was/wanted to play. Beautiful creatures. I wish I lived near warmer waters cause I love diving and how relaxing it is. There's so much life around that island, it's amazing.
