Homeland Security secretary is drafting an order to end family separation at the border, but it was unclear Wednesday morning if President Donald Trump will sign it, sources told the Associated Press.

Meanwhile, Trump administration officials have been sending babies and other young children forcibly separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border to at least three "tender age" shelters in South Texas, the Associated Press has learned.

Lawyers and medical providers who have visited the Rio Grande Valley shelters described play rooms of crying preschool-age children in crisis. The government also plans to open a fourth shelter to house hundreds of young migrant children in Houston, where city leaders denounced the move Tuesday.

1. Too late - millions of voters have been alerted.

Lots of people who had been on the fence now see the urgency of showing up, and, if necessary, switching parties to stop the madness.

[YessirAtsaFact]

7. And thousands of kids have been separated from their family

It’s going to be a complete clusterfuck trying to match these kids with their parents.

You know these assholes didn’t think about how to do that.

Regarding voters, the GOP probably lost any chance they had of get Hispanic votes for years.

8. They've lost the Hispanic vote, the mother vote, the father vote, the former-child vote...

Doesn't leave many voters, does it?

[YessirAtsaFact]

12. Yep, but it does leave the amoral, criminal and traitor voting blocks

Not to mention the sadistic asshole vote.

They’re always going to vote Repugnant Goon!

13. Fuck the Despicables. They are a lost cause, and their numbers have never grown.

2. Now that they've shown their true colors, it's too late

It's like the old not funny joke, "When did you stop beating your wife?" Now it is, "When did you stop torturing children?"

3. Will she be reuniting the ones already seperated?

[lagomorph777]

9. Or have they already been shipped to the Soylent Green factory?

4. What order the word is STOP do not proceed.

[C_U_L8R]

5. Release and Resign.

Simple enough, right?

[workinclasszero]

6. Trump's "tender age" concentration camps

OMG Can it get any worse folks?

11. How to untangle what's been done?

Seems like they have no plan for reuniting families. God forbid if any child is injured or dies while being detained. We already lost one father who took his own life.
