We are apprehending roughly 1/4 the number of people we did during the Bush years. The idea that this is some new, insurmountable problem is just wrong. We just used to have a somewhat competent policy that wasn’t based around being as cruel as possible as a deterrent.

Trump made it policy to separate children from their parents as a deterrent. He owns this.

You always have a well timed excuse for whenever Trump fails to deliver on something.
It was not too long ago that Trump supporters were creating threads telling us by how much illegal immigration had dropped which was down to Trump, so the converse has to be true, if we are now seeing an influx of thousands each month is that not Trumps fault? How can he be responsible for the successes but not the failures?
Because everything Trump does is good and right.If something goes wrong, that’s on someone else. Always pass the buck with Trump.

Wrong.
There IS a difference between Obama’s use of family separation and Trump’s. Do you know what that difference is?
She appears to be very much the political wolf to do exactly that.
Get ready Joe…It’s coming.
It is OK to be morally abhorrent because Obama did it first. This has to be the best gift ever.
It doesn’t matter who started it, it needs to end. Wouldn’t it be better for Republicans to say they ended a morally repugnant policy than to claim justification for its continuation?

Is data straight from Homeland Security/CBP good enough for you? This chart was made with data straight from their 2017 report.
Here’s the report itself so you can cross check the data if it sounds like #FakeNews to you:
Time to retract the following:
and admit you were wrong and that @sikofit’s sources were fine.

Sure…By grovelling to Pelosi and having her give back nothing in negotiating.
Not how compromise works.
Joe didn’t have an administration 
And hopefully never will.
Dems have been flashing that Obama era photo for months now blaming Trump and Republicans they simply have no shame they are total frauds and I suspect the photo may have time stamped and that’s why they deleted it because they couldn’t pass it off as taken yesterday. 
We do know crap because it was covered extensively back in 2014 when the situation was the federal government being overwhelmed and bungling a situation when a surge of tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors came into the country. Slightly different than a situation created by this administration’s policy to criminally prosecute every person detained for illegal entry between ports of entry thus leading to separating children from their familes. You know, as an intentional “deterrent”.

It is SO DIFFICULT to get a Trump era photo as damning.
The propagandists gotta do what they gotta do.
What, you think your news sources like CNN are going to do a story on this?
It is all quiet when families and coyotes abuse children.
It is all mouth when we are forced to find the truth and house the children in less than ideal conditions.
This will never end the way you want.
Not true. Unless the agents are lying. They are claiming that the facilities are crammed to many times their capacity. They have never been this packed.
He was in the executive branch. Number two. She can certainly hang this on him if he chooses. It would certainly take a lot of guts. Not sure she has it in her.
