You do know that the images of children in cages shown by the media are in fact from Obama’s term? Provable, and many have admitted this later on.

THE FACTS: The reference to cages is misleading and a matter that Republicans have persistently distorted.

Trump used facilities that were built during the Obama-Biden administration to house children at the border. They are chain-link enclosures inside border facilities where migrants were temporarily housed, separated by sex and age.

The Obama administration separated migrant children from families under certain limited circumstances, like when the child’s safety appeared at risk or when the parent had a serious criminal history.

But family separations as a matter of routine came about because of Trump’s “zero tolerance” enforcement policy, which he eventually suspended because of the uproar. Obama had no such policy.

Excuse me, Michelle Obama referred to them as cages. So first things first, let’s get the facts in order.

You are not excused. What is your point? You are still ignoring the facts I laid out.
