Good luck reuniting everyone! Those kids have been shipped off all over the place and some agencies cannot locate the parents.

It isn't clear yet who caved.

Trump is brilliant strategist.

Excellent news! Precisely why I voted for Trump!

Now let's see if Pelosi and Schumer are still motivated to continue to work on immigration problems once the cameras have moved on.

"... will sign ...." I'm waiting to see if he really does, and what it says, before celebrating.

You voted for Trump so he could create a crisis, have even members of his own party oppose him on it, have him falsely blame the policy that he adopted on the Democrats, then reverse course?

Well, I guess that's as good a reason as any.

I voted for Trump because of his commitment to Israel.
Because only he, would hire the greatest women in our country Nikki Haley.
Because the economy is booming.
Because he is the first president who kept his word about moving our embassy to our beloved Yerushalayim.
Because he’s a man of justice and freed Rubashkin and others so wrongly jailed.
Because although I am a proud American, I’m First and foremost a Jew. His policies have our back (unlike the Arafat hugger or Farrakhan lover).
Because he has seichel and is trying to fix a very complicated immigration situation that Obama got us into.
Because he is human and admits it, unlike the arrogance of Obama and Hillary.
Thank you president Trump! Keep America great in 2020!

Trump has his issues, like any human being.

But I still think he is the best thing to ever happen to this country.

He is the first one that is making real change.

He is klal Yisroel's best friend. He has lowered the unemployment rate. He is working to stop the massive outsourcing to China that has caused us to lose so many jobs. He is really, truly concerned with preventing terrorism. He is creating bonds with countries that have always hated us. He lowering the risk of nuclear threat. He is defunding countries that seek to destroy the free world.

The broader picture of what he is achieving is astounding.

Of COURSE it does. As Corey Lewandowski so eloquently said, "womp womp."

And if we can create a policy of separating children from their parents, falsely claim that its actually a Democratic policy, get conservatives to talk about how wonderful it is, then get a heroes welcome for reversing the policy you created, so much the better.

Fmt4, I was following fox’s lead as to why she voted for Trump.
Thanks for being rude. Sorry, I won’t be rude back to you.

It's pretty much a tautology.

whatever Trump does is brilliant. it's brilliant because Trump did it.

if he says one thing today and the opposite thing tomorrow, it was a brilliant political strategy.

The lies, deception, and corruption? All evidence of genius political acumen and skill.

Cruelty and sadism? All in service of greater political goals.

I can't get behind anyone who uses forcibly removing babies, toddlers, children from the arms of their mothers (who have only committed a misdemeanor) as part of a "brilliant strategy".

That is cruel and immoral. We don't use helpless innocent children as political pawns. We don't inflict suffering on the most vulnerable to score political wins. To me, that is against Torah values.

Religious groups across the spectrum have denounced this policy, and it makes me sick to see how glibly some of my fellow frum Jews treat this sad chapter in American history.

No, I voted for him because he's not wedded to ideology. If something isn't working, he stops doing it.

Trump didn't create the crisis. Breitbart was reporting on it back in 2014. Of course, Rachel Maddow wasn't moved to tears back then. Apparently those babies weren't crying as loudly then . . . because . . . Breitbart!

Now can we talk about the 10K unaccompanied kids and what should be done with them? Because so far, I haven't heard a single idea.
