President Trump on Wednesday signed an executive order to allow children to stay with parents caught crossing the border illegally -- moving to stop the family separations that have triggered a national outcry and political crisis for Republicans.
The measure 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.
In signing the measure, Trump said he wants to keep families together while also enforcing border security. He vowed his administration's "zero tolerance" policy for illegal immigration would continue.
Trump, previewing the measure earlier in the day during a meeting with lawmakers, said the move would "be matched by legislation." He also said he's canceling the upcoming congressional picnic, adding: "It didn't feel exactly right to me."

Well this'll piss the Anti-Trumpets off. They won't have this to bitch about anymore.
Guess they'll have to go back to pulling stuff out of their asses.
He had to resort to an executive order, something he heavily criticized Obama for. I'll bet he's pissed at himself.
No, they will find a way to bitch about this too more than likely. This was never truly about the kids for some people, it was all about how anything can be used to attack Trump.

This is one big Cluster. Just the other day Trump was saying that only congress could fix the problem.
This is all going to come back to Jeff Sessions and Trump will probably be able to get rid of him.

He is actually. Because the order is going to be vacated shortly by the courts.
The policy of following the law?Considering the fact that this policy was implemented recently, it is all on Trump.
