The best way to tell how fake the outrage is over separating parents and children at the border is the fact that the last two admins did it too. Yet, dem were not full of croc tears when Obama did it.
The law is from 1997, Gosh who was president then and Bush Modified it in 2008.
This article will show you children in govt facilities separated from their parents during Obama.
“The Obama administration, the Bush administration all separated families. They absolutely did. Their rate was less than ours but they absolutely did do this. This is not new,” Nielsen told reporters during an unexpected appearance at the White House briefing Monday evening
And now dems want Trump to act like a dictator. LMAO twice. Because an EO is raw executive power. Pretty sure last week, dems were all ginned up about Trump being an “authoritarian”. Now they want him to ignore laws and issue an EO. He would get sued if he did…
You keep getting your rear end handed to you in the other threads when you make these claims so you opened a new thread? Replying to your own thread? LMAO…
He doesn’t need an EO to end it, just more TV style drama but whatever… If it ends the separation, go for it…
Prior to Trump’s zero tolerance policy, the only family units that would be broken up were those when the parent-child relationship could not be confirmed or when a child was at risk in the company of the adult. However, now all adults who illegally entered the country between ports of entry rather than at a border checkpoint are being separated from their children in addition to those first two categories that the Obama administration had honored.
They only removed children they felt were in danger or at risk. It happened rarely. Trump removed thousands of children in just two months.
It is well understood that the LAWS have been in-place, but they were not followed in breaking apart families because it is INHUMANE.
Everyone knows the laws need to be changed, that is the point, and no one is buying the “we are just following the law” and anecdotal “see they did it once too!” defense.
