I haven't seen any kids in cages under Obama, but I've seen a ton of that under Trump. Here's the difference between you and me, I have no problem condemning Obama over such actions, you on the other hand, can't bear to do the same against Trump.
The Obama administration did build the cages Trump alluded to. The facility Trump mentioned was built with chain-link fencing by the Obama administration in 2014 in a warehouse in Nogales, Ariz. The makeshift shelter was built in response to an exodus of unaccompanied immigrant children from Central America. But those children did not arrive with their parents; they were unaccompanied. The shelter was not being used as part of a child separation policy, and U.S. border agents did not separate those children from their parents.
