    Pretty much forever.

    Obama built literal cages for children.

    But I’m sure GW was doing something similar, and wouldn’t be surprised if Bill Clinton did too.

    Lately people want to act like if Trump does something, we can’t be mad at anyone else who’s done it, however we still have to be mad at trump.

    Somehow saying everyone needs held to standards isn’t popular with either party now.

      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.

        They were talking about camps…

        Camps aren’t a new trump thing that may happen if he gets a second term.

            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.

                No, someone asked about camps…

                I’m sorry I can’t explain this in a way you can understand, but I dont think repeating it again will help, have a good life tho.
