    Obama built detention space for families and so did every other administration.

    Trump started a specific policy of taking babies and children away from their families and housing them separately on purpose. What a moron to try and “both sides” this one.

      Not quite. Separating children from families started under Obama, after the courts ruled that family detention centers were illegal.

          Did Ellis Island lock them in literal cages indefinitely?

          We’ve don’t that too, during WW2 to Asians, that still doesn’t mean we should accept bad shit because at some point it was or may be worse

          That’s the whole point of what I’m saying…

            Nah you were trying to both sides standard practices, blaming Obama for some reason, and you are falsely conflating practices nobody really has a problem with with Trump’s policy of wanton family separation.
