Lackota thinks abuse of refugees in Mexico is funny.

Trump Zero-Tolerance Policy​

Accordingly, I direct each United States Attorney's Office along the Southwest Border to the extent practicable, and in consultation with DHS- to adopt immediately a zero-tolerance policy for all offenses referred for prosecution under section 1325(a). This zero-tolerance policy shall supersede any existing policies. If adopting such a policy requires additional resources, each office shall identify and request such additional resources.

President Obama never issued such a draconian policy to separate families at the border.

You may be right. It was George W. Bush in 2008 that signed the law. Trump's team is merely enforcing it.

There is no law that says children must be separated from their parents at the border.

The Trump administration’s separation of families at the border, explained

The funniest part of this is that if (name any republican here) was discovered to have not 'paid his fair share' in taxes, libiots like Lakhota would be on this same message board clamoring to throw the bum in jail. In other words, forcibly separating said offender from his family for engaging in a crime.

Poor kids....

Was that Obama or ISIS keeping kids in cages?

You mean unaccompanied minors who were in temporary custody at the border? No families were separated - unless the parents were being criminally prosecuted. Trump has declared them ALL criminals.

You thinks it's okay to keep kids in cages? You heartless bastard.

Trump has declared them ALL criminals.

Thanks to previous administrations letting an uninterrupted flood into the country, we now have to crack down.

Spread the word. Don't come to America ILLEGALLY. It's not safe anymore.

fixed...

Over Memorial Day weekend, President Trump tweeted that people should "put pressure on the Democrats to end the horrible law that separates children from there parents once they cross the Border into the U.S."

The president implied that children were being separated from their parents at the border because of a law enacted by Democrats.

Actually, the policy in question was enacted by his own administration.

On May 7, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a speech that "If you're smuggling a child, then we're going to prosecute you, and that child will be separated from you, probably, as required by law. If you don't want your child separated, then don't bring them across the border illegally. It's not our fault that somebody does that."

Sessions announced the policy in Scottsdale, Ariz.

Under U.S. law, entering the country illegally is a crime. The Trump administration has decreed that such attempts will be prosecuted, meaning the adults are detained, and any children who accompany them are separated.

In an interview with NPR's Morning Edition host Steve Inskeep Tuesday, former President Barack Obama's domestic policy director, Cecilia Muñoz, stated unequivocally that separating children from their parents was not a policy the Obama administration followed.

"The Obama administration did not do that, no. We did not separate children from their parents," Muñoz said. "This is a new decision, a policy decision put in place by the attorney general," which Muñoz said "puts us in league with the most brutal regimes in the world's history."

Trump keeps trying to blame Democrats for a policy that he enacted. Trump owns it.

Thanks for pointing that out.

I really thought, for a brief moment, that we had an example of Obama showing backbone.

Alas......

More bullshit from the board moron.

Atrocious.

I can imagine being put in jail after that long air conditioned ride to the border.

Plenty of Border Patrol agents have told me of hauling childrens bodies out of the desert after they were abandoned by their parents.

Fuck off.

Why does Trump keep trying to blame Democrats for his kidnapping policy?

Where are all the so-called "family values" hypocrites on this atrocity? How many of these children will never see their parents again? How many will be abused - emotionally, physically, sexually?

Build the wall. Boot the illegals.

Do it for the children. Our children.

MSNBC just reported that 12,000 immigrant minors are currently under government control.

Less than half than half the number Obama had.
