    LOL.

    What ever gave you the idea that anyone working for a trash blog like Breitbart would be any kind of journalist???

    That’s not what they do a Breitbart. They push right wing memes, true or not, out to a gullible and receptive audience.

    You fell for it. (hardly the first time you’ve fallen for a lie peddled by a trash blog).

    There is no mention of kids in cages in the facility that the Biden Administration just reopened. None.

    But if you wanted to see how a real press secretary handles an agent provocateur, your link did that!

    That’s just false. They did it to everyone as a deterrent. Eventually they changed the policy.
    I understand the need to detain children coming alone.

    In June 2018, Attorney General Sessions said, "If people don't want to be separated from their children, they should not bring them with them. We've got to get this message out. You're not given immunity."[137] White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller said: "It was a simple decision by the administration to have a zero tolerance policy for illegal entry, period. The message is that no one is exempt from immigration law."[27]

    Why do you keep making a claim you can’t prove?

    Some may think it funny but as someone whose parents brought him here legally Indo notbagree atvall with open WGAS entry. We need to control who comes in and how many come in during a given year and where they are to at least initially settle. After WWII the 1948 Displaced Persons Act ( refugee act) required that my parents had someone sponsor us, a line up on a job, and a place to stay. Refugee immigrants were not allowed to be " a burden" on the then current American population. No, I am not being a jerk or saying I am here so close the door. A sane controlled immigration policy is bestbfkr everyone- potential LEGAL immigrants, current new LEGAL,immigrants, and most importantly our country.

    For anyone who has the urge to say that I should should support the Wall of the Leader of the Capitol Terrorists, no. Reminder Mexico has not paid one peso yet has it.

    ". . . The Associated Press reported in late 2019 that an unprecedented 69,550 migrant children were held in U.S. custody over that year.

    But Michelle Obama's assertion that the Trump administration tore children from their families and threw them into cages alludes to "a frequent and distorted point made widely by Democrats," according to the AP. The facilities designed during the Obama administration to temporarily hold migrants were used for a similar purpose by President Trump, the AP also concluded. . . ."

    Thanks...it says exactly what I said

    It is true that Trump administration immigration policies involved separating migrant children from their parents and detaining them in "cages," a practice halted by a federal judge in 2018,

    Not family separation, that was all trump until a judge ended it.
    Let me be more clear
    Yes, Obama built cages and put unaccompanied minors in them. Trump used the cages to put all kids who came with their parents.

    The Mello Guy: Trump put kids in cages!

    Also The Mellow Guy: I understand the need to detain children.

    I’ve been clear with where my objections are. I’m sorry if it’s too complex for you to follow.

    Maybe you're not guilty of the double standard, but surely you can see the hypocrisy of the left then Vs. now, can't you?
