Great news!
I agree it is really dumb. I have a friend who has a masters degree from university of Utah in computer science and is working hard in his field here in Utah. He just missed out on his 3rd chance in the lottery and has to move back to India by the end of the year. It is really dumb to kick out educated, tax paying, non criminal, and generally good citizens. There are lots of problems to our immigration. Most of it is that we are a racist country though. You would think a country founded on immigration would be better at dealing with these issues.US Immigration system has to be one of the weirdest in the world though. Other places I know (Canada, Australia, NZ, etc) all have a merit / point base system. US has a lottery system. I mean.. why?? Wouldn't you want the best / most qualified people joining your country?

An administration official has confirmed that this EO does nothing for the families already separated thanks to the original policy. The EO also states that families can be detained indefinitely. It's a step back in the right direction, but it's far from enough.
Trump's immigration reversal creates its own chaos:

They lost me at “the trump admin is fixing a problem it created”(paraphrase). This policy has been ****ed since Slick Willy. GW punted, BHO punted and now, as par for the course, the Cheeto gets blamed for it.

Nonsense. Child separation began under Trump two months ago. It was publicly announced by AG Sessions on May 7.
Immigration and child separation are two separate things. Immigration has been debated since at least the 1850s. Google "The Know-Nothing Party." These guys were the original Trumpets. They were anti-immigration and were astonishingly ignorant on every other issue. So I don't think we are going to see a consensus on immigration, especially when the president is a bomb throwing ignoramus who severely lacks credibility. Why would anyone make a deal with this guy when it's clear that he cannot be trusted. Democrats already compromised with him six months ago. They agreed to funding his "boarder wall" in exchange for granting amnesty to DREAMERS. After initially agreeing with them, he flip flopped and called poorer countries of the world "******** Countries." Remember? So why would we work with him?
Children should not be used as leverage to force draconian immigration law.
This is why America retreating into isolation under the pretext of "America First" is asinine. We are not living in the 1500s but in a globalized world where we are all connected. Events in Central America have impacts in North America.
A better question might be, "Why aren't we working more closely with our North and Central American allies to promote stability and prosperity in our sphere of influence?" Rather than piss Canada and Mexico off and threaten them with "boarder walls", why don't we collaborate with them to build up El Salvador and Honduras. We most certainly would if they were nuclear powers or were sitting on top of the world's largest oil reserves, right? Rather than piss $20 billion away on walls and security, why not invest that $20 billion in El Salvador and Honduras? The instability of those countries combined with our neglect of our own neighborhood has largely contributed to the immigration issues we see today.
Trump's decision to separate children from their parents created an immigration issue into a humanitarian crisis. Deplorable just deplorable
Hard to say honestly. She's the First Lady with a retinue of aides whose job it is to take mind of her wardrobe choices, especially for public appearances. She's also got a background in fashion so it's hard to believe she just grabbed this jacket off the hanger without giving it any thought.It isn't intentional. She's just stupid.
