And before anyone throws this out, I know Obama did the same kind of things. I have already noted that Obama failed at every aspect of being a president.
WASHINGTON, March 3 (Reuters) - Jeff Sessions, the top official behind former President Donald Trump's "zero-tolerance" border strategy, says it was "unfortunate" that migrant children and parents were not reunited quickly after being split apart at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Thousands of children were separated from their parents at the border under the 2018 Trump policy, which charged parents with federal immigration offenses and sent them to jails, while children were labeled "unaccompanied" and placed in shelters.
In a phone interview on Tuesday, Sessions defended the prosecutions, saying a person traveling with a child "shouldn't be given immunity." He expressed regret, however, that the Trump administration could not quickly reunite the parents and children afterward.
"It was unfortunate, very unfortunate, that somehow the government was not able to manage those children in a way that they could be reunited properly," Sessions said. "It turned out to be more of a problem than I think any of us imagined it would be."
Trump enacted policies or took actions and then would lose all interest which reinforces the idea of how immature Trump was.
Trump's immaturity and Obama being two faced led to even Jeff Sessions speaking out.
