Democrats say it’s about the kids. It’s not about the kids
(Daily Caller) Members of the media and Democrats are unsatisfied with President Trump’s executive order temporarily ending family separations at the border and are now urging him to end his zero tolerance policy on prosecuting people who cross the border illegally.
President Trump announced Wednesday that he would allow families to be detained together while they wait to be prosecuted for illegal border crossings. Immigration law currently requires children to be sheltered separately as their parents await trial.
However, despite spending weeks complaining about the separation of families and even comparing the detention centers to concentration camps, the media and the Democrats are still railing against the president.
Because the Trump administration prosecutes illegal border crossers at a 100 percent rate, leftists are now complaining that families will be detained at all — even if they’re detained together. The implicit assertion is that people who cross the border illegally shouldn’t be detained, even though those people often fail to show up for their court hearings.
Well, of course they are. Because this is about open borders. They didn’t care about when it was happening under Obama (nor do they seem to care that Canadian PM Justin Trudeau is doing the same)
MSNBC’s Kasie Hunt questioned what would “happen next,†noting, “this executive order does not end the zero tolerance policy — everyone will continue to be prosecuted which puts a serious strain on resources.â€
Democratic Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin complained on CNN that “it does not reverse his zero tolerance policy and so we’re still going to have some really critical issues to deal with relating to … families with young children.â€
And so many others

And, if you’ve lost pro-amnesty Marco Rubio
The ink isn’t even dry on the new executive order ending separation policy & some Democrats already arguing that keeping families together isn’t enough. Now they want them & their parents released after unlawful entry knowing full well that high % will never appear for hearing

According to some data Gabriel Malor has found, 39% of illegals did not appear in court for fiscal year 2016.
