Yes, he did, because it is the law of the land. I already provided proof, which you ignored. In addition, Trump is actually NOT for separating families. He has instructed Congress to change the law of the land, which is swore to uphold as President on a Bible as part of his Inauguration, so that families could be kept together when deported. So you are doubly wrong. Prior Presidents have all separated families at the border. Trump has taken no different actions and Trump is against separating families. Once again the MSM lies and spews vitriol and propaganda to turn the sheeple against Trump. Fortunately, none of us with sound minds fall for the Nazi bullshit from the MSM. --------- *"Mr. President Fuk You!"; The Hunt Is On For Congressional Intern Who Heckled Trump President Trump as he arrived at the Capitol Tuesday to meet with House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI), when a woman thought to be a Congressional intern shouted "Mr. President, Fuck You!" as he walked down the hall. LISTEN: As Pres Trump’s entourage entered Speaker Ryan’s office in the Capitol, someone on the other side of the Capitol rotunda yelled: “Mr. President, F—k you!!” (He entered about 15 seconds later): pic.twitter.com/KHp16LYMoF — Frank Thorp V (@frankthorp) June 19, 2018 The incident occurred as tempers flared in D.C. over President Trump's "zero tolerance" immigration policy of enforcing existing laws, which include separating children from their parents who choose to enter the United States illegally - something done under both Bush II and Obama. #CHANGETHELAWS Now is the best opportunity ever for Congress to change the ridiculous and obsolete laws on immigration. Get it done, always keeping in mind that we must have strong border security. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 19, 2018 Homeland Security @SecNielsen did a fabulous job yesterday at the press conference explaining security at the border and for our country, while at the same time recommending changes to obsolete & nasty laws, which force family separation. We want “heart” and security in America! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 20, 2018 All 49 members of the Democratic caucus - including independents Bernie Sanders (VT) and Angus King (ME), signed on to Monday legislation designed to prevent the separation of immigrant families - something President Trump agrees with: We must always arrest people coming into our Country illegally. Of the 12,000 children, 10,000 are being sent by their parents on a very dangerous trip, and only 2000 are with their parents, many of whom have tried to enter our Country illegally on numerous occasions. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 19, 2018 Trump also noted that 80% of migrant children are unaccompanied - meaning they were "separated" from their families when their parents chose to send them with human traffickers to America. To be clear: 80% of these migrant children came without parents. They separated from their families and then came across the border — Jack Posobiec🇺🇸 (@JackPosobiec) June 19, 2018 Perhaps sensing an opportunity to hobble Trump on the separated children thing - former First Ladies Laura Bush and Michelle Obama joined together to criticize the "zero tolerance" policies - which many on Twitter immediately noted were passed into law and enacted by their husbands. What an odd and hypocritical denouncement from both former First Ladies. This policy started under President George Bush and President Obama’s administration... https://t.co/hqR2NoQFtl — Rachel Campos-Duffy (@RCamposDuffy) June 19, 2018 We look forward to Trump's heckler being fired, only to emerge as a #resistance hero in their proudest pink pussy hat. And for those trying to identify which Congressional intern it was - let's not assume gender;** we hear soy has an amazing affect on vocal chords.

You know, I voted for Obama in his first term and I voted for John Kerry. But now, I'm becoming ashamed of ever voting for Democrats. You are all f__cking lunatics who have no ability to think in an unbiased manner. You are totally unhinged. The facts on the ground are completely different than what is being spewed by you nut jobs and by the MSM. Trump isn't at fault here. He's trying to fix the damned thing and those parents are not innocent. They are sending their kids into harms way. You think keeping 80% of these children who cross the border illegally with their coyote smugglers will be good for them? You are the well-meaning retards that know not what they do. Below is a very sensible solution. DNA test the kids to make sure they are not being reunited with criminal coyotes and only are reunited with their parents. Otherwise, separate them, so the coyotes cannot exploit them or turn them into prostitutes or slave labor. 80% of these kids, 10K out of 12K, are with COYOTES, not their parents. Stop being an idiot and so naive. ---------- Border DNA Tests: Sessions Proposes Genetic Testing To Determine Biological Relationship Vs. Human Trafficking Attorney General Jeff Sessions has been talking to members of Congress about using DNA testing to verify whether children crossing the southern U.S. border are biologically related to adults they arrive with, or if they are being smuggled into the country by human traffickers, Tony Perkins, President of the Family Research Council. “Sessions is talking to congressional members and is hoping for a legislative fix,” Perkins said, adding that the DOJ would like to see “just, fair and enforceable” immigration policies. To that end, “They are looking at how to use DNA tests in the field to verify they are parents and not traffickers," according to Perkins. “The reality is if American parents put their kids through what these immigrant parents have done to their kids, they would be charged with child abuse.” - Tony Perkins Sessions told Perkins “We know for a fact that a lot of adults taking children along are not related to them. [They] could be smugglers. They could be human traffickers. It’s a very unhealthy dangerous thing and it needs to end. We need to return to a good lawful system,” Sessions told Perkins on his broadcast. During a Monday evening White House news conference, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen countered claims that the Trump administration is separating all children from their parents following an apprehension at the border - noting that "The vast majority, vast vast majority of children who are in the care of HHS right now — 10,000 of the 12,000 — were sent here alone by their parents." "That’s when they were separated. So somehow we’ve conflated everything. But there’s two separate issues. 10,000 of those currently in custody were sent by their parents with strangers undertake a completely dangerous and deadly travel alone." On Tuesday, President Trump echoed Nielsen's statistics over Twitter: We must always arrest people coming into our Country illegally. Of the 12,000 children, 10,000 are being sent by their parents on a very dangerous trip, and only 2000 are with their parents, many of whom have tried to enter our Country illegally on numerous occasions. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 19, 2018 In other words - 80% of migrant children are separated from their parents when those parents choose to send them across the border alone or with human traffickers. During a Tuesday address at the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), Trump suggested that his administration's "zero tolerance" policy is simply enforcing legislation created and enacted under previous administrations - and said "I don't want children taken away from parents." "We might as well get [immigration legislation] right, or let's just keep it going... We want to solve this problem, we want to solve family separation. I don't want children taken away from parents," @POTUS says at business luncheon https://t.co/4NzISpVeUJ pic.twitter.com/GTP33fVpql — CBS News (@CBSNews) June 19, 2018 As for collecting DNA, we can only hope that this is not just another government ploy to build a giant DNA database which starts the "normalization" of mass DNA collection while digital privacy rights and data security are woefully lacking.

Obama did NOTHING to solve this problem. Trump is trying to solve it, if not through Congress, then with his Executive Branch powers. You and the MSM are lying, just like you always do. ------- Trump Will Sign Executive Order On Family Separation Today Update 2: President Trump appears to have confirmed his path forward with regard immigration. Per a White House pool spray, Trump says he is postponing the Congressional picnic and instead will be signing something "preemptive" on immigration later today "to keep families together," adding that he needs Democrat support. "I'll be doing something that's somewhat preemptive and ultimately will be matched by legislation I'm sure." - Trump And of course, he couldn't resist a tweet-shot across the Left's bow by retweeting this... * * * Update 1: AP confirms, reporting that Homeland Security secretary is drafting order to end family separation at border; however it is unclear if Trump will sign it. The executive action would follow days of escalating calls from both sides of the political divide for Trump, or Congress, to end the controversial family separation policy. As Fox adds, the action under consideration would allow children to stay in detention with parents for an extended period of time. This comes as congressional Republicans scramble to draft legislation to address the same issue, but face challenges mustering the votes. The separations are the result of the administration's "zero tolerance" immigration policy, which aims to prosecute all illegal border crossers. But because of a 1997 order and related decisions, children cannot be detained for longer than 20 days with the adults. Sources told Fox News that such an executive action by Trump could be seen to run afoul of the 1997 order and would likely draw a lawsuit. But the White House wants to try to take steps to uphold the enforcement of the law, while at the same time lessening the trauma of children being separated from their parents. Rep. Peter King of New York became the latest Republican to join the chorus on Wednesday when he called on Trump to suspend the family separation policy if House immigration legislation does not pass. Speaking on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom,” King said that while he agrees with the president’s goals in regards to immigration, the current policy of separating migrant children from parents charged with entering the country illegally is “really terrible for families.” Republicans in both the House and Senate are struggling to shield the party's lawmakers from the public outcry over images of children taken from migrant parents and held in cages at the border. But they are running up against Trump's shifting views on specifics and his determination, according to advisers, not to look soft on his signature immigration issue, the border wall. “The Democrats do not have a strong policy,” King said on Fox News. “But at the same time we are playing into their hands by allowing this to happen.” * * * Trump may be about to fold to the non-stop media barrage over the separation of immigrant parents and their children at the border, a process started by Trump's predecessor. According to a tweet by Fox News White House correspondent Kevin Corke, the Trump administration "is today looking at some sort of executive action" that will allow children of those who illegally came to the U.S. to stay with parents through the entire adjudication process. A separate unconfirmed report claims that Rudy Giuliani is "set to appear on Fox News to announce some sort of 'executive action' to stop the family separations at the border." It is unclear if, once Trump folds on the immigrant fiasco, whether the media will redirect its attention to the OIG report which it has been desperately trying to avoid, even though Peter Strzok is doing everything in his power to keep that narrative on the front pages.
