I'd say "nice try", but it wasn't.
Obama didn't instruct the Border Patrol, and ICE, to lie to people and forcibly separate children from their parents, and put kids in cages.
His immigration policies weren't great, his 'plan' was flawed, too, BUT, no one has fucked this situation up worse than 45. Not by any stretch of the imagination.
His boy, Stephen Miller, came up with this bullshit. Miller is a degenerate sociopath.

Further, they haven't kept accurate records, in some cases, they didn't keep any at all.
A lot of the records that they did keep, they've since destroyed. ALL FACT.
THAT'S why they're having to do DNA tests. They have NO fucking idea where most of these kids are, and where/who their parents are.
Homeland Security's own numbers don't support the story about traffickers and drugs mules either. So that bullshit story is bullshit, too.
Stop trying to defend the indefensible.
45 is scumbag piece of shit, and quit bringing up Obama. He's not President anymore.
Oh, last thing, it's not just liberals, or even democrats, who hate 45.
There are libertarians, Independents, and even republicans, who detest his miserable, lying ass.
So don't try that bullshit. There are plenty of people, NOT liberals, who are willing and able to counter your lies with facts.
45 is scum. You got conned.

Obama did not put children in cages. You watch too much FOX.

Currently, the terrorists challenging our border crossings the most are working in the administration.

Neither President Bush or President Obama had a POLICY to separate families.

Like most right-wingers, you twist the truth terribly. Under Obama, the vast majority of children who came into the country by other than legal means were released with their parents pending their hearing. The problem today is legitimate asylum seekers are being labeled criminals and their children taken away from them. That is nothing less than an unconstitutional action and a human rights violation. Anyone who defends such action is a bigoted ethnocentric moral idiot.

Seeking asylum is completely, utterly different from illegal immigration.
I am deeply ashamed of my country's (Australia) evil and cruel immigration policies. Ours are worse than Trumpelstiltskin's.

Sounds like someone just trolling to stir up more anger. Don’t feed the trolls! And btw, maybe get an effing life!

There was no widespread Obama-era policy of separating parents and children — but it's a common talking point for Republicans.
One other thing to note is that many of the people crossing the border are seeking asylum from incredibly violent situations in their home countries. U.S policies in places like El Salvador and Guatemala have contributed greatly to violence and instability. I drives me crazy that very few people consider this.

What's it like being wrong so often and still going through life as if you have the slightest fucking clue as to what you're talking about?

And there is another thing about Americans besides generosity. They enter countries illegally, like Vietnam and Iraq, just to name few and kill inocent people by millions.

Obama did not tear children away from their parents-big fucking difference.

He was wrong, and we didn't hear abut it. So it was difficult to raise an alarm. But as usual you oversimplify the issues and cherry pick your evidence. Soooo typical.

Ve haf vays uf makink you FAIR UNT BALLANZED!!!

Genius, give the numbers for his 8 years... if you can't provide stats you can return your tongue back to your ass. Numbers, numbers.

Obama was no saint. Criticism where it's due.

But if you're using your post to criticise Obama's policy, then how do you defend Trump's policy?

Some comments have been made here about US intrusions into other countries and the damage caused by US foreign policy. I totally agree. With great respect to the people in America, there is indeed a need for some balance to this ledger. US invasions, interference in other countries and their politics, unimaginable deaths and injuries, propping up always right wing regimes, and on it goes, all carefully crafted by mainstream media and political parties to conform to the "we're the good guys" image. On the big scale of things you are the good guys, but you are betrayed by the ruling military industrial corporate class who rule over the people of America with the same distain that they show the rest of us. The American outrage over Russian meddling into its politics is hypocrisy writ large. You wrote the rule book, now used against you. Intrusions into your sovereignty and borders? The borders of other countries mean little to you when it suits you. Americans need to take Morpheus' pill and wake up and see the matrix being fed to you. You need a reality check more than a border wall.

You're absolutely right. I apologise for everyone who said anything ever.

Even if your fantasy of what was done under a previous administration is true, how does that make it ok to do now? That argument was invalidated in kindergarden. Did you make it past that level in school?

So are you arguing it is OK? WTF is the point of this post?

I don't think the American people have shown themselves welcoming and generous. But how did it ever happen that immigration laws could be flouted to this extent? Was it because ordinary American employers could benefit from the lower cost of labour with illegals?

It's not funny, it is politics. Regaining power is all they care about.

Wheres the outrage when Obama put children in cages? hypocritical liberals.

Actually there was discussion and debate in liberal media about the robust immigration enforcement that went on under Obama. To toss off the assertion that it didn't happen is suspiciously trollish, but I'm willing to accept that the speaker simply has a short memory or was not paying attention. It is also worth noting that there have been significant modifications in immigration enforcement policy made under the current Administration. Debate and concern have ratcheted up under Trump/Sessions because the current policy and tactics are more draconian, less humane, and accompanied by official rhetoric that is overtly racist and patently false (e.g. intimating that all or most Mexicans or Central Americans who cross our southern border illegally are gangsters or rapists or murderers, as the POTUS does with such frequency).
Instead of sowing division by setting up liberals as a straw man to attack, Mr. Gator, why don't you focus your energies on actually solving the problem of illegal immigration? This partisan trolling is getting us nowhere.
